My second favorite musical catharsis. The only thing that could surpass singing along with these songs would be the ability to rock out by playing them loudly and furiously on an electric guitar.

Personal History
Kay and I have a tempestuous relationship. Sometimes I hang on her every word, gulping them, swallowing them whole. Other days she sits quietly on the rocking chair, neglected.

LA Michael and I started this list on Monday afternoon for fun, only to immediately escalate into an argument about how we were going to define overrated [which in my opinion is not the same as overexposed, which would prompt Michael to defensively ask, "Are you getting snitty with me?" and which will now prompt him to think, "I would never used the word snitty in conversation."] But as soon as the ground rules were established the names came easily.
