Yellow Moon might make it. I don't know.

I think it's totally appropriate to do a "after-2000" list. It's impossible to compete with a time period when people first fall in love with a band and are going through a certain honeymoon phase and when they are going through their own coming of age (high school and college). Like comparing year 4 with a girlfriend after that "hot and heavy" period when you first met.

Most, if not all, of Binaural was written and recorded in the 1990s. It makes a difference to me.

Fuck it, here's my list of the 10 worst songs from the 2000s:

Get Right
Ole
Big Wave
The Fixer
Supersonic
Bushleaguer
Breakerfall
Gone
You Are
Johnny Guitar

All of these are at least 18,000 Dicks on the 20,000 Bags of Dicks scale.
