Wow! I have to say that list is about as unrepresentative of what I was listening to circa 2001 as I could imagine. It seems mainly filled with dancefloor stompers.

For me the 90's ran out of steam around 1996 and the 00's went south around 2007. I prefer the 90's because I was in my 20's and had all those great times (illicit activity with girlfriends, drunken nights with pals, etc.). In the 00's, all I did was work, work and work some more. [8D]

I'm pretty sure they meant the Top 100 songs no one will remember a week from now (well, maybe 3 or 4)

What? No Roxette?

Obviously, "ever" began in 1983. No wonder I'm wondering where everyone was in '82.

Roxette is in a league of their own, they would require a Top 100 of their own [:D]
