#910 - "Run To The Hills" - Iron Maiden - Death On The Road - The first of two Iron Maiden songs on the countdown, "Run To The Hills" is political in the heavy metal tradition, as the song combines historical content with their usual speed metal licks.
#909 - "Chop Suey!" - System Of A Down - Toxicity - The first of four System songs to make the list, "Chop Suey!" is a bizarre metal song with lyrics that allude to the last moments of Christ's life.
#908 - "Human Touch" - Bruce Springsteen - Human Touch - The 90's weren't kind to the Boss, but he did manage to put out two solid albums on the same day and this, the first of eleven Springsteen songs to make the top 1000, was the best from those two albums.
#907 - "That'll Be The Day" - Buddy Holly - Greatest Hits - John Wayne inspired Buddy Holly to write this, his best song and only song on the chart.
#906 - "Anna Molly" - Incubus - Light Grenades - The first of two Incubus songs to make the top 1000, "Anna Molly" was a number one hit for the band in 2006 and their best song since their first album.
#905 - "California" - Phantom Planet - The Guest - The first of two Phantom Planet songs on the list, "California" is sadly best known as the theme song of "The OC", but was actually released years before that show began.
#904 - "Incinerate" - Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped - The first of two Sonic Youth songs to make the list, "Incinerate" is on their most recent album and serves as proof that the band is just as good now as they were in their prime.
#903 - "Ants Marching" - The Dave Matthews Band - Under The Table And Dreaming - The second of three DMB songs to make the countdown, "Ants Marching" is the most up-tempo song that the band ever made and one of my favorites.
#902 - "Call Me" - Blondie - No Exit - The first of the two Blondie songs to make the list, "Call Me" was one of the signature songs of the early New Wave era and became a huge hit after being featured in "American Gigolo".
#901 - "D'You Know What I Mean" - Oasis - Be Here Now - The first of six Oasis songs to make the list, "D'You" is one of the last great songs that the band would ride before sliding out of the spotlight. Like all Oasis songs, it's too long, but it does a great job of sweeping you up with it's excellent chorus.
