Ah, nostalgia. Where’s this list from? Memory, or some other source?
I definitely remember the top three. I’m not sure I ever heard “Murder by Numbers” on Z100; and by the time U2’s “Everlasting Love” cover was out, I’d left the city for high school in Connecticut.

The list’s from memory–it always made a big impression on me when they’d play a B-side.
