Dance music sometimes takes the epic and the cheesy, and makes it fresh.Take Monarchy, a U.K. twosome whose name is both epic and cheesy. In a DJ set, this song would be played somewhere between Daft Punk and Scissor Sisters. Terrible lines like “crimson drops upon the ground,” and “while the angels gently weep” are somehow diluted and made acceptable by a polished voice and...

660. B.Y.O.B - System Of A Down (Columbia 2005, Rick Rubin) After the commercial breakthrough Toxicity it seemed that System were on the fast track to legendary status, they could seemingly do no wrong, even the boorish Steal This Album couldn't slow their momentum. However in 2005 they bit off more than they could chew with a double album that would leave to the band going on hiatus and a gross overexposure...

670. Ex Girlfriend - No Doubt (Interscope 2000, Glen Ballard) Gwen Stefani has gone so far this decade since the release of this sublime pop-punk track it's almost unbelievable. To an extent Gwen has always been a case of style over substance, and back in 2000 she was easily the most stylish women in punk, and Ex Girlfriend was a classic case of a nineties hangover, with elements of No Doubt ska sound...
