I'm making top 31 lists for a few of the MAD 2 artists that I'm familiar enough with to rank somewhat confidently, to post after we're done.
Some people clearly don't have enough to do in their lives.(at least once the protesters stopped showing up just to turn their backs or spit on the band).

I've seen Against Me! with scorchy, and this is something I completely agree with. The vibe at the shows is incredible. Because the band ****ing MEANS SOMETHING to so many people there. I remember that I got to the venue before scorchy, fatguy, and plinko and was just waiting around in line. And I hear someone say, "Janice?" And the person behind me says, "It's Jackson now." And these two friends from college who hadn't seen each other since the guy transitioned just started catching up and it was just incredibly wholesome and sweet. I've also never seen such a diversity of band t-shirts at a concert. I saw a Jimmy Buffet. I saw a Clash. I saw an Al Yankovic. I think the guy in the Oak Ridge Boys shirt was being ironic, but bravo anyways.Once LJG came out as trans, Against Me's shows were totally re-energized, both by a new generation of fans who had finally found someone who spoke to them and the old guard who re-embraced the band. LJG just totally owns the stage and her role. The crowd shots at around the 2:15 mark still give me goosebumps at the amazing mix of folks finding joy in the music. The best part - barely a cell phone in site - just everyone living in the moment.

The Eton Rifles is an old-fashioned protest song, inspired by a single incident, when unemployed marchers clashed with jeering pupils from the titular school. But the sheer force of its anger – and the brilliance of its melody – meant it long slipped its original moorings. No matter. The story that provoked it may be forgotten, but the song’s fury still burns bright.
I had no idea that this was the name of that song. I know the words. WTF?Cherry Bomb -- My #1 Mellencamp. Amazing on every level.

This song is about the closest thing we've gotten to the classic-era Beach Boys in the 21st century. The pacing and arrangement are just killer.Mass Romantic -- My #2 New Pornographers
For whatever reason I’ve never really liked his Hot Water album.Don't know what @-OZ- will have as the top 3, but I don't think my top 3 Jimmy Buffett songs have been mentioned:
Prince of Tides (30 years ago, Why Don't We Get Drunk would be in this spot instead)
Great Filling Station Holdup
Livingston Saturday Night
On another day, I might have put this at #1 - to me, it's one of their epic tunes.

Your choices have been awesome - this is one of my favorites.I have down a very poor job promoting Incubus list during this countdown, but I implore those unfamiliar with Just A Phase to give it a focused spin. Of those new to me's offered up by them, I suspect a lot miss because it was from their rawer more frentic days but this one isn't. Depending on my mood it's #1

"It was the last song we did [for the album], and a challenge to doing a song like this... we spent a long time on the other songs, and we decided we needed one more to round out the album and to sum up everything we put into this record musically. And that's a real challenge, to say "Everything you've done right, in the last year, every song that's taken 3, 6, 9 months to write... do another one in like 2 weeks." It was a stressful, pressure thing. I feel like the guys stepped up and it came together in about a week and a half."
"Joe [Hahn] came up to Mike and I and asked us to take the whole idea of Minutes to Midnight and apply that to how the band has changed. So, in a way, it’s us saying goodbye to how we used to be. The lyrics in the first verse are ’In this farewell, there is no blood, there is no alibi,’ and right away, you’ll notice that the band sounds different: The drums are much more raw, the guitars are more raw and the vocals aren’t tripled. It’s just us out there … and that’s how Rick wanted it. Basically he told us, ’If it sounds like it could’ve been on the first two records, then we’re not going to work on it.’"
The first single from Linkin Park’s third album Minutes To Midnight, and the first to be produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, who guided them away from their nu metal roots.
“What I’ve Done summed up the band’s new approach, shifting the focus to Bennington’s vocals rather than the interplay between his soaring voice and Mike Shinoda’s rhymes,” said Rolling Stone. “Moving from vulnerability to desperation, the singer explores regret above an ominous, hypnotic piano riff.”
The change in sound didn’t affect the band’s popularity one bit. What I’ve Done has been certified platinum in the United States, selling over 5 million copies.
The lead single from Minutes To Midnight was a forthright goodbye to their nu-metal roots. (‘In this farewell, there is no blood, there is no alibi…’) Guided by legendary producer Rick Rubin, the band build over a beguiling piano riff, with a rawer performance fixated not on vocal interplay, but on the bare quality of Bennington’s delivery. Critics at the time saw it as a move away from metal altogether, in pursuit of the more middle-of-the-road mainstream appeal of outfits like U2 now that the initial subgenre bubble had burst. With the benefit of hindsight, its easier to understand it as an evolutionary step from a band with the daring to leave behind a formula with which they had conquered the world – and continued to win.
Linkin Park turned the magnifying glass inward with this anthem about taking personal accountability for past sins. “What I’ve done / I’ll face myself / To cross out what I’ve become / Erase myself / And let go of what I’ve done,” Chester Bennington sings defiantly.
The triumphant track was also selected for the end credits of the first Transformers movie, kicking off a long-running relationship with the blockbuster film franchise.
