Any rock track that appeals to the masses is bound to be horrendous as they have awful taste in rock. Much better taste in pop so it's no surprise some of the worst songs (of any genre) of all time are there - Iris, Use Somebody, Chasing Cars, Rockstar.
Coldplay getting 3 tracks in the Top 20 there. :D Shame the OC don't give official sales figures when they do these coundowns. :(

How are those *not* rock?

Whenever I think of rock music I always think of heavy-metal or big 'anthemic' artists like Guns N Roses or Bon Jovi or Queen, so a lot of the records here were initially a surprise. However when I think about it they are all appropriate, mainly falling into the alternative rock category.
I'm happy (and shocked) that Sweet Disposition made it in - anybody have any idea of its sales?

I don't have any accurate sales but I think it's passed 500k. In fact I think the whole Top 20 has passed 500k.

Yes because Pompeii is a 'rock' song...

It's indie/alternative rock. It is a surprise to see some of the songs here like I said, but they do all fit somehow.

I'd class Pompeii as an Indie/Alternative Pop song with elements of Electronica personally, I fail to see how it is rock, at all.

Agreed but OCC are rubbish at this sort of thing.

No, it just shows that different people have different ideas on what meets what genre. See Gezza's list of top selling dance singles to see how much disagreement there was on whether certain tracks were dance or not.

 

"We Are Young" is the one I have the most of an issue with, I see rock music as guitar based, and that certainly isn't.

 

The only track that I fail to see is Rock, is the fun. track
I agree with Bastille not being rock. Also Lumineers is hardly rock either, neither is Fun
