Top Songs #740-#731

#740 - "Blue Sky" - The Allman Brothers - Eat A Peach - The first of four Allman Brothers songs on the countdown, "Blue Sky" has never been one of their bigger hits, but it's one of my favorites.

#739 - "Crazy" - Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere - The first and only Gnarls song on the list, "Crazy" was pretty much THE song to hear in 2006. It's by far the most unusual and remarkable "it" song of the last decade.

#738 - "Calling It Quits" - Aimee Mann - Bachelor No. 2 - The fifth of eight Aimee Mann songs on the countdown, "Calling It Quits" is one of her most well-known songs and one of her more up-tempo songs.

#737 - "Californication" - The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication - The first of five RHCP songs on the list, "Californication" was the best song off of the band's most popular album. It also had some of the band's best songwriting.

#736 - "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer" - Queens Of The Stone Age - The third of sixteen Queens songs, "Feel Good" consists entirely of a list of drugs screamed loudly by Josh Homme and Judas Priest front-man Rob Halford.

#735 - "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" - The Ramones - It's Alive - The second of five Ramones songs on the countdown, "Sheena" has the same beat as a lot of Ramones songs, but this is by far the most popular of the group.

#734 - "The Everlasting Gaze" - The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina / The Machines Of God - The first of seven Pumpkins songs on the list, "Everlasting Gaze" is on my list based almost entirely the breakdown at the end of the song, which was the best Pumpkins moment after Mellon Collie.

#733 - "Tommy Gun" - The Clash - Give 'Em Enough Rope - The third of eighteen Clash songs on the top 1000, "Tommy Gun" is one of the most straight-forward punk songs that the band produced in their early efforts.

#732 - "Backwater" - The Meat Puppets - Backwater - The first and only Meat Puppets song on the countdown, "Backwater" was a surprise hit for the band in the mid-90's after guest-starring on MTV Unplugged in New York with Nirvana.

#731 - "Cut Your Hair" - Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - The first and only Pavement song on the list, "Cut Your Hair" was the band's most radio-friendly song, which is to say that it had a beat and a chorus, though audiences ignored them anyway, as they always did.
