********************118 Manic Street Preachers – The Love of Richard Nixon**************************
Currently featuring in Haven Factor 3, really looking forward to seeing how each Manics track did in the voting. This is actually their highest song on my list surprisingly. I think If I did this list today they would do a lot better overall. This reached #2 in 2004.

********************117 Feeder – Just A Day**************************
Another song competition song recently did well in Rock Idol. As stated there one of the most iconic videos of the MTV2 age. I really think Feeder missed a trick here, they should get all the kids in this video to re-inact it as adults it would be hilarious maybe they will do it for the albums 20th birthday in 2021. Think I will tweet Feeder close to the time hehe This reached #12 in 2001.

********************116 The Gaslight Anthem – The '59 Sound**************************
Ok I won't bore you with anymore Gaslight Anthem this is their final appearance with their most iconic song. This could have been a Springsteen classic just a masterpiece. As i said no hits but the album did make 37th best in NME and #62 in the song of the year list in Rolling Stone in 2008.

********************115 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc.**************************
The lead single of Gorillaz best album 'Demon Days'. This reached #2 in 2005. Nice random Wiki fact, this is the only song featuring Damon Albarn to make the US top 40. They have another track from this album to come.

********************114 The Darkness – Growing On Me.**************************
Another brilliant single from The Darkness debut album, unsure why this doesn't have an official video when all they others do its a bit rough anyway this reached #11 in 2003. And reading Youtube comment this does have an amazing outro.

********************113 Coldplay – Clocks**************************
Playing these videos after another is just a journey through MTV2 gawd I cant keep going on about how I miss that station. Anyway Coldplay brilliant song and very under represented in this list, they should have about 6 songs in the top 100 but they only have 2!! This reached #9 in 2002.

********************112 System Of A Down - Toxicity**************************
Now one of the heaviest bands on the list but they also always make me smile. Their blend of genres is just incredible and they are just so much fun, managed to catch them live and they were amazing. This reached #25 in 2002.

********************110 Blur - Out Of Time**************************
Less said about my entry of Blur into Haven Factor 3. I would have liked to think this would have done well but after the mauling 'Tender' got who knows. Just a lovely introspective ballad. The best song they ever did without Graham Coxon can only imagine how even better it would have been with him on it. This reached #5 in 2003.

********************109 Avril Lavigne - I'm With You**************************
Another ballad and last entry for the poster girl of MTV2. Avril Lavigne was THE female pop/rock star of this age. I love this ballad so much , it always gets to me. This reached #7 in 2003. Gawd I need to play this album again. Really starting to make a list.

********************108 Electric Six – Gay Bar**************************
Lol MTV2 would probably have followed Avril with an ad not this song!! Anyway 2 iconic singles from their debut album. Just son hilarious It reached #5 in 2003. It is incredible nothing like these guys will ever happen in the charts again.

********************106 Biffy Clyro - Bubbles**************************
I thought this was the 2nd best track on the album cant believe we had to wait for it to be the 5th single. So many great things in this song having Josh Homme on it helps as well. It reached #34 in 2010 so maybe should be on the list but it was a 2009 album.

********************104 Does It Offend You, Yeah? – Dawn Of The Dead**************************
I maybe should have entered this for the Halloween competition. Most acts so far in the top 200 have been pretty well known but who remembers these guys? This was their poppiest moment and I really thought it would cross over and they would have followed their mates Klaxxxons to success, sadly not to be. It reached #41!!!!! in 2008.

********************103 Death Cab for Cutie - Cath**************************
in my first list of this kind I made this was originally #39 but has dropped way down. I guess it must have been special to me at sometime. Its nice enough but I still think its too high.

********************102 Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We're Goin Down**************************
I can't think of another band who started off brilliant and get gradually worse with each album they release as pronounced as Fall Out Boy. Ok they were always more pop than most emo bands but listen to this and compare it to their current single and they are different bands. Anyway this reached #8 in 2005.

Was going to stop here but still have some free time so will carry on into the top 100.
********************100 Filter – Where Do We Go From Here**************************
Filter are one of my favourite bands of the 00s, I think you would describe them as a poppier more accessible Nine Inch Nails. They actually have three songs in the top 100. The other two are ballads but even this is quite mellow compared to a lot of their stuff. It reached #80 in 2002.
