Hmmmmm...it's always harder to do a top 5 songs than it is to do a top 20
albums (but, mathematically, I guess that stands to reason), but here's my
best shot:
Top 5 originals:
1. "Maria (Shut Up And Kiss Me)," Willie Nelson (The Great Divide)
2. "Drunk In A Band," Del Amitri (Can You Do Me Good?)
3. "Where Do They Make Balloons?," They Might Be Giants (No!)
4. "Home and Dry," Pet Shop Boys (Release)
5. "You Held The World In Your Arms," Idlewild (The Remote Part)
Top 5 covers:
1. "The Drifter," Mello Cads featuring Paul Williams
2. "I Woke Up In Love This Morning," Doug Powell
3. "Better Things," Fountains of Wayne
4. "Insane In The Brain," The Connells
5. "School's Out," A*Teens with Alice Cooper
30 very honorable mentions, to make it a solid Top 40:
1. "Keep Fishin'," Weezer (Maladroit)
2. "Shining Light," Ash (Free All Angels)
3. "On A High," Duncan Sheik (Daylight)
4. "Forget To Be Numb," Dora Flood (Welcome)
5. "Gimme A Sign," Ryan Adams (Demolition)
6. "Sk8er Boi," Avril Lavigne (Let Go)
7. "Across The Night," Silverchair (Diorama)
8. "Lifelines," a-ha (Lifelines)
9. "No Show Jones," Chris Difford (I Didn't Get Where I Am)
10. "The Man Comes Around," Johnny Cash (American IV: The Man Comes Around)
