Best of 2002

DIRTY LITTLE DITTIES All due respect to Smashmouth's ''All Star,'' but we'd rather have Dirty Vegas' ''Days Go By'' (which backgrounds the ubiquitous ''break-dancing girl'' Mitsubishi commercial) stuck in our heads. Speaking of things we can't get out of our heads: Should we vilify Christina Aguilera for her egregious ''Dirrty'' video or thank her for supplying us with an all-purpose punchline? And lastly, while Weezer's ''Keep Fishin''' may not have been a tremendous hit, the band's decision to invite The Muppets into their video can only be described as (ahem) deeply felt. -- Scott Brown, GF, and Brian M.
