In 4th place:

The Cardigans - Lovefool

Other songs I know: Been It, My Favourite Game, Erase/Rewind, Hanging Around

One of the better bands from my college years. This song got played to death back in 1997, but I never really got sick of it.

In 2nd place:

Chumbawumba - Tubthumping

Other songs I know: Amnesia

Another song from my late teenage years. A staple at late 90s parties. Also everywhere else. This song was massive, and with good reason. It rocks and has got a singable chorus. What more do you want?

In 1st place:

Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back

Other songs I know: Monster Mack

An artist whose one hit was just too damn good. Where do you go after making a song like this? It's too perfect.

Ready to send list to eb when he's finished his final rankings.

Okay, ratings in.

GL with the bloody nose. You should move to a less dry climate.

Sent. Hasn't happened before. I'll just assume my wife beat me up in my sleep.

I think I can make this happen now.

Let's give it a shot.

Well if the one hit us any indication, I like my chances here. Hoping for top 5 again.

The fact that you knew another song might hurt me though.

Takes about a year to get going, and "get going" is a stretch. Then it went on too long. This bored me so much. I'm sure others would really enjoy this, but it was a big miss for me.

It's just so bland, plus it's the only song I had heard before. Am I wrong in thinking this was a reasonably successful hit?

Wasn't feeling this at all. The singer's voice bugged me, and at times this just felt like they were just trying to jam as many instruments in as they could with no focus.

A reasonably fun 3 minute song stretched out into 6 minutes. Really hate when artists do that. There's no really change it tempo…or anything really. It's basically the same song played twice in a row.

80s hair metal isn't really my thing at all. That said, this is one of the better songs in that genre. Still, there's a definite ceiling to this type of music and unless it's REALLY fun, it's nothing I'm going to go out of my way to listen to. Although this isn't part of my judgment, the music video is delightfully cheesy.

Maybe if the guy's voice wasn't so recognizable from the one massive hit, it would fare a little better. It's fun for what it is, but I just can't take this seriously. You just can't expect me to respect any gang stuff once the whole world has seen you rapping atop a giant derriere.

Fun, but a little repetitive. This one kept moving down after relistening. It's an entertaining sports anthem type song, but unlike many others, doesn't really have much utility beyond that. Not part of my judging criteria, but the grammatical error on the lipstick tattoo on his chest is tilting.

I'd say this spot has the biggest quality jump between songs.

Wasn't expecting very much, as I didn't think that much of this artist's one hit. This song showcases her musical talents much better. Really like the way her voice sounds.

More 80s **** metal. I can't explain liking this song so much. It's nothing special, and I'm kind of ashamed at myself for rating this in the top half. But for some reason I'm just rocking out to the chorus.

While good, I was expecting quite a bit more here. I feel like a different song could have shipped this category. I don't know if it's because the guitar beat is a little annoying or it just doesn't flow as well as it should, but something just isn't allowing me to put this in the top 5.

I've forgotten all of my high school German, so I have no idea what she's singing. I don't even remember what the words in the title mean. It's fun 80s pop, which for me is usually a ticket to mid-table. This one did at the upper end of that.

Pretty substantial jump here from "good" to "great".

The one that improved the most upon relistens. This song has a TV theme song feel, which is always a good thing with me. Love the verses, the chorus was a little disappointing the first time. Glad they added those horns in the second time?
