I'm not even a fan of the White Stripes, though I do respect them. This was painful. 1.5/10.

And now from the "Guilty Pleasures" file:

I could have given it a 3 or 4 until that Nikki part came on, now it's a 1/10.

Yeah, Nikki's part is annoying, but the song is just too damn catchy for me. Charlie Daniels Band song is a classic. 8/10

Some vocal harmonies that pokes fun of other vocal groups:

Mmm, it aged quite badly. I wish I could appreciate it more, but I find it mostly annoying and boring. It's a fair concept that with a little tweaking (mostly it being shorter and with more recent comedy) I think I would like, but as it is I'm not gonna give it more than a 3 out of 10.

She sounds like her influences are one part Janis Joplin, one part Shakira, and one part Poison. Good guitar, but other than that, I wasn't impressed. 4/10.

This one cracks me up, and btw, Dylan, he's FINALLY going into the Hall Of Fame this year! He made it!

Not much extensive musical content to rate there but 7/10 for the purely awesome comedic styling.

I never consider myself a metal fan, but stuff like this is good, I like it, 7/10

A prog rock band I'm embarrassed to admit I've never heard of until now. I'll have to look into them. Cool name.

6/10, it's by the numbers, mostly.

Boring. 2/10 Couldn't hold my interest.

And now an artist for whom the Forced Listening Thread was truly invented for.

Ugh... that's all I'm saying. 2 points for the mildly catchy beat.

I'm not a big Four Tops fan, but this was a great song. Only drawback is that it sounds like something you'd hear over a video montage on a sitcom during a tender episode/clip show. 8/10

But if you're gonna keep on this Motown kick, Josh, at least throw something in from Motown's best group ever, and one that is sadly historically underrated.

Well to be fair the only Motown song I've posted recently was the Temptations song. That Four Tops one was from their stint at Casablanca, but I digress.

So, Martha & the Vandellas. Good song, not my favorite of theirs, but a good offering anyway. 7/10.

For what's essentially an extended TV show theme song it's not bad. It has a 60's rock vibe to it, but kind of dirtier and punkier. 7/10
