#680 - "Cinnamon Girl" - Neil Young - Arc-Weld - The third of six Neil Young songs on the countdown, "Cinnamon" is probably Neil's most radio-friendly song and has one of the best choruses in his catalog.
#679 - "Yer So Bad" - Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever - The fifth Petty song of seventeen on the list, "Yer So Bad" isn't one of the big hits off of Full Moon Fever, but it's still one of my personal favorites for it's great lyrics and solid chorus.
#678 - "Four Winds" - Bright Eyes - Cassadega - The second of four Bright Eyes songs in the top 1000, "Four Winds" is the band's most successful song to date and should help them cross over to the mainstream.
#677 - "Crosseyed And Painless" - The Talking Heads - Remain In Light - The second of ten Talking Heads songs on the list, "Crosseyed" is one of the great bizarre songs in all of New Wave.
#676 - "When Love Comes To Town" - U2 - Rattle And Hum - The second of sixteen U2 songs on the countdown, "When Love" features blues legend B.B. King trading verses with Bono.
#675 - "My Name Is Jonas" - Weezer - Weezer (The Blue Album) - The second of five Weezer songs on the list, "My Name Is Jonas" is a slow-burning rager from the band's first, best and most successful album.
#674 - "Yellow Ledbetter" - Pearl Jam - Lost Dogs - The fourth of twenty-five Pearl Jam song songs in the top 1000, "Ledbetter" was never on an actual Pearl Jam album, but still became a huge hit despite the completely indecipherable lyrics.
#673 - "Bawitdiba" - Kid Rock - Devil Without A Cause - The first and only Kid Rock song on the list, "Bawitdiba" was the first and last hit the man had before descending into complete parody after he had the first amount of success.
#672 - "It's Only Rock N Roll (But I Like It)" - The Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock N Roll - The first of twenty Stones songs on the countdown, "Only Rock" is one of the band's last great songs (it went downhill fast from here), but it did signal that the band was going to survive well into their second decade and beyond.
#671 - "Suspicious Minds" - Elvis Presley - Love Songs - The third and highest-charting Elvis Presley song on the list, "Suspicious Minds" is the most remarkable song from his comeback in the late-60's and 70's before his untimely death.
