2004: #10 - "What You Waiting For?"

Despite ripping two songs - oddly, Weezer's "Hash Pipe" and, more oddly, Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly" - that will not be appearing on any DOTY lists, Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For", a crazed call-to-arms for super-hot female parents-turned-solo-artists, turns up at #10 for 2004.

A loud, brash, stupid mess signaling the arrival of a loud, brash, stupid mess, this was another Gwen Stefani song that you ha(te)d to love, just because it had the balls to be so awe(ful)some, and it sort of paved the way for some deliciously dumb, over-the-top female rocker pop of the late 00's.
