Here's a fun game: Starting from the bottom, work your way to the top of that list and see how far you make it before you land on a song that isn't awful. I think most people will land on 1982.

We didn't even get a Summah over here in the UK but if we had, this would have been the anthem. Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic on some silly Summah biz- enjoy!
