I realise no-one is still reading this, but please explain the Sheryl Crow hate?

This song isn't as good as All I Wanna Do, that's why.

Ah no, I'm not expecting it to win or anything, but some people are claiming it's the worst song on the poll! How do their minds work?

Well, she's a conventional pseudo-meaningful singer-songwriter and rock babe, which raises my ire - though not only didn't I pick her as worst, I ticked her and put "If It Makes You Happy" on my next year's P&J ballot, and "My Favorite Mistake" on the one after that, and found her sometimes great until she shifted to delicate mood music in the '00s. But I understand how people can find her sensibility loathsome or ridiculous.
