Phil's dishonorable mentions: Songs from Bowie and Jagger, Beck, XTC, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, the Cars, Bob Seger
Phil bashes the Brits
Jay's dishonorable mentions: Songs by Soundgarden, Van Hagar, Rush, U2, Lou Reed
Sammy Hagar's lyrics are...something
Phil's #10: One of the Stones' bigger hits

Phil's #9: Frat boy antics from the Beastie Boys
Jay's #9: Andy Summers let his freak flag fly in the Police
