5 hours to go, and Mr. joel is in the lead, followed by Eternal Flame and Another Day in Paradise.

I cannot believe We Didn't Start the Fire won. It's one of the lamest songs in pop history.

Note I didn't say bad. It's not as bad as, say, your average post-grunge song. There's a recognizable melody, which puts it above a lot of mainstream-ish rock from the past decade. But it's just straight-up lameness. It sounds like your dorky history teacher trying to make learning fun. It sounds like a business luncheon gone karaoke. It sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock song composed by the cast of the Big Chill.

IT'S A LIST, PEOPLE! IT'S A LIST OF HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT THINGS!
