AT&T’s list of most downloaded ringtones in 2007 makes me sad

Society reaches a new low as the list of the top ten downloaded ringtones of 2007 on the AT&T network reads like a who’s who of smelly, no-talent ass-music. The only thing worse than this list is the fact that people paid $2.49 each to download these. This would be the iTunes playlist in the first ring of hell for me.
1. Shop Boyz - "Party Like a Rockstar"
2. Mims - "This Is Why I’m Hot"
3. Soulja Boy - "Crank That (Soulja Boy)"
4. Nickelback - "Rockstar"
5. Akon - "Don’t Matter"
6. T-Pain - "Buy You A Drank (Shawty Snappin)"
7. Hurricane Chris - "A Bay Bay"
8. Sean Kingston - "Beautiful Girls"
9. Huey - "Pop, Lock & Drop It"
10. Fergie - "Big Girls Don’t Cry"
John Biggs said it best when he remarked, "70% of that list is some of the worst music ever," although I would change 70 to a much higher number.
As always, I welcome your comments.

I have, by far, the best ring tone ever: I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder.

Yeah, I have to wonder why Lamb of God, Machine Head and Opeth aren’t better represented in the ringtone market. What’s wrong with people? Why do they listen to such pussy-ass music?

Good call Doug! Pretty much every song on that list makes my ears bleed. Of course for $2.50 a pop it’s not like the brightest people in the world are the ones buying ring tones.

The set of people with good musical taste and the set of people who’d pay $2.49 to download a ringtone from the AT&T Media Mall don’t intersect.

$2.50 each, combined with amazing intellect *sarcasm* do we hear calling for a business plan for “CrunchTones?”

And the music industry wonders why it’s losing money. The music sucks. Unlike tech, there is no innovation, nothing shiny new and catchy.
TeH music SUCKS truckerballs.
Best ringtone: a bell. “ding” Just one ding. That’s my top 10 list.
Ringtones are for people who have to have cells because they are important, but they leave it on their desk to ring and never be answered. Ya know the people who talk about their last colonoscopy loudly on the bus.
