Make it sound like one of those shitty nu metal bands to attract listeners who otherwise wouldn't have cared about Evanescence because - according to the label - people won't want to hear a woman singing a metal song. Amy initially wanted to refuse but the label made it clear that unless she did what they said, the song - and maybe even the album - wouldn't be released

The problem with the song is that Evanescence was so trashed by metalheads. Nowadays, they have somewhat recovered from this and people started to pay respect to them. But, I think, the reason why Melon feels like giggling when he thinks of this song is because of how much it was ridiculed by memes. And all those memes and parodies of this song are so imprinted in his brain, he can no longer perceive how seriously beautiful the song is. Otherwise, NOTHING about this song is funny, whatsoever. The melody is so beautiful, and the strings and Amy's voice are impeccable. Not to mention that Amy gave birth to many female artists we see today but isn't even mentioned and credited the way Hayley Williams is credited all the time.

people who said it belongs in S and F tier simultaneously i think are right, it's a really catchy song, and obviously very memorable and was everywhere 20 years ago, the structure and flow through the whole song is really well done, and the song never really loses steam, it does exactly what it's set out to do but it's also way too emo in the literal sense of the word, it's cringy af and annoying like a whiny teenager, and is also exactly the kind of music that edgy, whiny teenagers loved back then. the aesthetic of the song itself immediately brings it into F tier

I guess that's because of Amy Lee's constantly bashing her own song over the years in interviews by saying she that never liked the rap part of the song and that they were contratualy obligated to do so. This and plus the fact the they were supposed to have Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park on it but he declined. That kinda ruined the song for most and beyond the meme factor of the song itself
Can you break down why you put Linkin Park "In the End" in the S tier, but Evanescence "Bring Me to Life" in the F tier? To me they seem like they'd be in the same tier, whatever criteria you are using. I'm personally kind of ambivalent, but it def seemed odd.

Bring Me to Life is without a doubt S tier. Amy Lee actually didn’t want the rapper feature originally, & because the song has become such a meme, I feel like people don’t appreciate it enough. If you listen to the song live, in the band’s prime, it is truly of the best rock ballads of the 2000s. Also, Amy Lee is somehow simultaneously one of the best yet underrated vocalists of all time

yeah this was a miss. I feel like people crap on the melodramatic earnestness of the song, but this is one of those songs where the melodrama is deserved given the actual theme and content of the song. it's a big, ol' rock love ballad about coming alive because of someone's love. When else would you go that over the top? It's the goth rock version of Aerosmith's equally bombastic and earnest I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. And Amy Lee's vocal performance is just insane on this one.
Fantano giving bring me to life an S ranking just because of the hit: "Bring Donkey Kong To Life (Evanescence + DK Rap MASHUP)" is such a weird thing to me...

So is he. The brain can’t help what it likes
I saw Kid Rock at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

It’s because of that goofy voice over “SAVE ME” Issa classic

Facts was looking for this
I'm deeply surprised "Lose Yourself" only charted at 63 as I was under the impression that it was EVERYWHERE just like you, Fantano, but I thought it was further fueled into being everywhere by the fact that it won the Grammy or even the Oscar for best Soundtrack or was part of that for best soundtrack which was the 8 Mile soundtrack. Can I get a fact check in here over that? I just recently bought that soundtrack and various artists as it was it's variable as it would be but there is some hot fire present and accounted for. If you find that bad boy used with its bonus Shady Aftermath sampler I do not think you'll be let down if you pick it up though it's ARGUABLY eclipsed by The Eminem Show which both released in the same year are kind of companion pieces. One of them is a full Eminem album, of course, but 8 Mile is not Em, not Slim, not Marshall, but the hungry, accessible, acceptable, and relatable B-rabbit, the 1995 trailer rapper who is just trying to get his out there in 8 Mile. Great movie, too. Em did a good job acting but of course the rap god says he wasn't acting and that's completely believable to anybody with even precursory knowledge about his history which would be ME.

Actually, R Kelly's "Dat's What I'm Talkin Bout" from Missy Elliott's (I believe 2003?) album This Is Not A Test, in which he literally lite-raps about using his penis to make a virgin walk with a limp ("everybody gonna call u pimp, cuz imma have u walking with a limp", if memory serves)... now, that was a misdemeanor, but I think it was the Platonic ideal of what an R Kelly song is, or should be, all about. Where was I going with this? I don't remember anymore

You're thinking of the remix. The original is mid even for the time.
If I were Anthony being so torn on Bring Me To Life, I'd personally put it safely in the C tier
I think my favorite hit from this year not in the top 10 was Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You". Definitely of its time but that track always got preteen me in my feelings lol
Is it J for jail?
Please, please, please do a tier list on 1994. Soooo many BANGERS to choose from.
Interesting tier list ranking and a great video as always.
I genuinely remember my mom picking me up from school in like, 2006, and Bring Me to Life would be playing on the radio, followed immediately by Red Hot Chili Peppers's Californication on the way to McDonald's, and somewhere in there would also be Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. I genuinely have no idea why the songs are all linked together in my head so strongly with the smell of McDonald's French Fries on a warm summer afternoon with the air conditioning gently blowing in the car.

I guess that's because of Amy Lee's constantly bashing her own song over the years in interviews by saying she that never liked the rap part of the song and that they were contratualy obligated to do so. This and plus the fact the they were supposed to have Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park on it but he declined. That kinda ruined the song for most and beyond the meme factor of the song itself
Bring me to Life is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. It's so over the top, but I fucking love it.
Putting Bring Me To Life in the F tier was already the worst possible move, but then the rest of the list? Wow. Biggest Fantano L of 2023 already dropped.
2003 was a formative music year for me, because I had a karaoke night planned and realized "oh shit, I don't know any music!". Convinced that karaoke nights feature only the most crisp, current chart-topping tracks, I started watching music channels like crazy, only to end up humming my way through Queen's We Are The Champions. Good times.
Bring me to life drove me insane as it was being played everywhere in 2003. However, they have a track called My immortal which I absolutely loved.

Third Eye Blind’s debut is legit great. Love that you mentioned it
The melodramatic parts of Bring Me To Life are the parts that the band explicitly didn’t include in the original. The male vocals originally weren’t included at all, and it’s a much more subdued, gothic listen without them. Plus, you get to hear some of the guitar work that gets sung over in the final version, which adds a nice texture to it imo.
not surprised anthony would make a tier above S specifically for 'bring me to life'. well deserved, anthony!
This is from the year I graduated highschool and I'm surprised that my awareness of these songs revolves around their release schedules, like "oh that Eminem song was a movie tie in, that 3 Doors Down so g was the third single from their album while bring me to life was evenesence's big debut"
Any other exvangalicals here who performed the Bring Me to Life gospel skit? Ain't no nostalgia like religious trauma nostalgia. 10/10.
Can't wait for a full Kid Rock ft Melon song
And what’s worse is that lose yourself went to number 1 for 12 weeks, however it crossed over between 02/03 so all sales I assume happened in the last weeks of 02 when it was released
Anthony, what does your heart tell you? Don’t intellectualize it, don’t think on it too much. Let go of all shame, let go of all preconceptions of what good music is supposed to sound like. What does your heart tell you? Bring me to life is S-tier.

What a good comment. W take.
Ignition was the song of the summer that year, I remember it fondly.
For reference, here's the UK list (because again, I had never heard of a good chunk of these songs): 10. The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) 9. Room 5 & Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv 8. Blu Cantrell - Breathe feat. Sean Paul 7. Kelly Osbourne & Ozzy Osbourne - Changes 6. t.A.T.u - All The Things She Said 5. Will Young - Leave Right Now 4. Gary Jules & Michael Andrews - Mad World 3. R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix) 2. Gareth Gates - Spirit In The Sky with special guests The Kumars 1. Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love? I kinda hate a good amount of these songs but IMO Make Luv is a fairly decent dance track, the Tatu song is a clear S tier bop, Mad World is good, Where Is the Love is clearly great and The Darkness have made the last great Christmas song with this one. ...also the R. Kelly song is great but I dunno what to do with it cause y'know...R Kelly is a pretty abysmal human being and this song does also kinda relate to the shitty and disgusting stuff he's done but Fantano covers it pretty well so yeah.
Aaliyah’s miss you hasn’t aged well? Yet Chingy’s pitched voice and slurred cadence in a spreewell era as being a tier above it? Cmon my guy.
The live version of “Bring Me to Life” is better than the album/single version because it doesn’t have the rap part it’s the original vision they had for the song the label literally forced them to put that on the song
You can't do this to bring me back to life...
I don't think I ever hear a complain about Bring Me To Life. Like the lyrics make no sense but it's just epic and catchy. It's not a song that you could hear all the time but after a while... it hits you.

No, but it still slaps REALLY hard :)

I have a funny story about Crazy In Love. The producer I was working with mostly in Hip Hop and Pop music at the time, DJ Ron G received Crazy In Love to remix because although they deny it still today, they weren't happy with the original. We tried maybe 6 beats for it and they didn't like any of them. After the 6th one I went to Webster Hall that night. I didn't know the record was out already. The DJ throws it on and an incredibly dead room went INSANE!! Every woman in there jumped up, ran to the dancefloor screaming and just let loose to that record. I called my boy and told him to forget about it. It's already a hit as is.
That Evanescence rating is F tier.
