Restraining order for VH1, plzkthx

[sigma7]

The Irish band U2 has given Britain its favorite song lyric, according to a survey released Monday.

The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" from the 1992 song "One" topped a poll conducted by music channel VH1.

Runner-up was the downbeat "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die" from The Smiths' "How Soon is Now."

I'd have to give the Smiths the props over U2 on this one.

But more importantly, can we please stop making lists and creating superlatives until we generate a bit more culture that hasn't been thusly catalogued?

There are so many of these lists, they become meaningless. I don't think everything has to be ranked all the time. It reminds me of when Rolling Stone started doing lists. At first it was interesting, but as time when on they were clearly becoming more and more desperate as the lists were becoming more and more trivial.
