Billboard Review: Rock Top 10

I want you all to know I had to take 10 Ibuprofen just to write this thing.(Note: C-Verse Ratings out of 10)
I am going to pre-warn you kids. I don’t really have anything nice to say this time. Everyone’s taking a beating.

1. Foo Fighters: Walk
Album: Wasting Light
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 16
Other Charts: #83 Hot 100; #65 Radio Songs; #1 Alternative Songs; #51 Canadian hot 100
Fan Love Votes: 71%
C-Verse Love: 6
C-Verse Says: Not too bad. This song was far less annoying about a month ago. It’s starting to sound generic *insert yawn here* I blame the radio stations. They play good songs far too much to the point where you hate them and can’t stand to hear them anymore. It takes a really amazing song to with stand being played so much and people still wanting to hear it. Sorry Foo Fighters but this song SOOO does not qualify. I have nothing more to say except make it stop!

2. Red Hot Chili Peppers: The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie
Album: I’m With You
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 10
Other Charts: #64 Hot 100; #58 Radio Songs; #2 Alternative Songs; #37 Japan Hot 100; #36 Canadian Hot 100
Fan Love Votes: 81%
C-Verse Love: 9
C-Verse Says: Unlike the previously mentioned this song can take the heat of overplay. It’s groovy and funky. I love this song and don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. Rain Dance Maggie belongs at #1. Number 2 is just a slap in the face, a travesty, a gross injustice. What is the world coming to I ask you!!!

3. Foster The People: Pumped Up Kicks
Album: Torches
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 36
Other Charts: #3 Hot 100; #7 Pop Songs; #8 Radio Songs; #3 Digital Songs; #4 Ringtones
Fan Love Votes: 53%
C-Verse Love: 0
C-Verse Says: Why is this song at number 3? This is definitely one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard in my life and I’ve heard some crappers. Having the nerve to write this song deserves a prison sentence. The band is just terrible as a whole. I’m sick of hearing it. This band needs to just get on a plane. If you don’t get the plane joke ask Buddy Holly and Stevie Ray Vaughn to explain it to you.

4. Bush: The Sound of Winter
Album: The Sea of Memories
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 8
Other Charts: #5 Alternative Songs
Fan Love Votes: None
C-Verse Love: 7
C-Verse Says: Not their best, I’ve got to say. Though it’s a very pretty song it’s still somewhat of a disappointment. The hard rock seems to be on muscle relaxers. Poor shame guys.

5. Staind: Not Again
Album: Staind
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 10
Other Charts: #16 Alternative Songs
Fan Love Votes: None
C-Verse Love: 8
C-Verse Says: Thanks Staind for not letting us down like so many others. I almost love this one more than Mudshovel, yea almost.

6. Blink 182: Up All Night
Album: Neighborhoods
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 10
Other Charts: #3 Alternative Songs
Fan Love Votes: None
C-Verse Love: 5
C-Verse Says: So tired of this. *Raspberry sound* That is all.

7. Seether: Tonight
Album: Holding onto Strings Better Left To Fray
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 10
Other Charts: #50 Dance/ Club Play Songs; #17 Alternative Songs
Fan Love Votes: None
C-Verse Love: 3
C-Verse Says: This is horrible. What in the world. The lyrics alone are simply laughable. I mean come one guys, seriously? SERIOUSLY? “I’m not gonna waste this. This opportunity’s mine. I’m sick of complaining about a beautiful life.”
You’re a post-grunge, hard rock band. Isn’t angry complaining your methodus operandi? Yes it is. I checked on Google and as we know Google is always right. Yes I know what you’re thinking but I woke up this morning planning on abusing sarcasm all freaking day. Deal with it. Shaun Morgan what is this fluffy sunshine crap?

8. Foo Fighters: Rope
Album: Wasting Light
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 30
Other Charts: None
Fan Love Votes: 73%
C-Verse Love: 1
C-Verse Says: Burn this album. Yea, I said it. What?

9. Seether: Country Song
Album: Holding onto Strings Better Left To Fray
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 28
Other Charts: None
Fan Love Votes: 68%
C-Verse Love: 9
C-Verse Says: Why isn’t this song at #3? I’m getting a migraine. This is one of the only songs on this list that’s worth listening to. Turn it up and rock out!

10. Theory Of  A Deadman: Lowlife
Album: The Truth Is…
Song’s Weeks on the Charts: 1
Other Charts: #30 Alternative Songs; #90 Canadian Hot 100
Fan Love Votes: 88%
C-Verse Love: 8
C-Verse Says: This song is awesome!!! Talk about balls-out. Theory of a Deadman is THE party song band and they more than live up to that reputation with this track. A hard heavy hitter; if you weren’t a hang banger before this song will totally change your tune. Way to go guys. Convert the non-believers. And while you’re at it put this song at no less than number 4 on this chart.
