I don’t think it’s that bad. I can probably name you at least ten songs from the past nine years that I find much much worse.
Well, I find it hard to listen to the lalala part, but to each their own.
If I remember it correctly, you find it hard to listen to the didgeridoo song (among others).
 
I’m glad YHKM won. I will forever adore that song. I remember when it first came out (on MySpace, right?). I listened to it like 20 times in a row on my then-girlfriend’s family’s computer. A short while later, I attended my first Moz gig. It was a glorious time to be alive.

Is it possible to get a 6-10?

That's right. I remember waking up to it, listening a few times on MySpace then heading to (high) school. Feels like a lifetime ago.
 
I feel bad that there are several songs I've either not heard or ones that left a very minimal impression.

I hate it. One of his absolute worst.

It really does feel like a lifetime ago.

= 7. The Youngest Was The Most Loved 7.24

Thank you! Amazing work throughout.

Would you care to do one with Manzur? I’m keen to find out what folks think of his songs, but I’m not very good at Excel.
 
Where did the years go? Why did the years go?
Very apt. ROTT is 17 years ago. Quarry nearly 20. Sickening, indeed.

I really like On The Streets I Ran and I Knew I Was Next, would expect them to score much higher.

How many voters in total?

The 11 Manzur-songs are correct.
