"bunch of crazy white people... "
Every Billboard Modern Rock Chart #1 through 2005, listed in order of preference.47. U2, "Vertigo"
November 6 - December 3, 2004
R.E.M. circa Monster with Enrique Iglesias the mic and a firecracker up their collective ass? Lyrics that are intentionally funny? Feverish with dreams of compassionate consumerism, Bono and the boys whipped up a dizzy jam as ridiculous as a forty-something guitarist named "the Edge" who always wears a hat indoors and throws the same damn ringtone lead on every track.
