#689 - "Signs" - The Five Man Electrical Band - Good-byes And Butterflies - The first and only Five Man song on the list or in their career. The song has some interesting ideas, but it's definitely weighed down by it's hippie cultural icon status.

#688 - "Are We The Waiting" - Green Day - American Idiot - The fourth of nine Green Day songs in the top 1000, "Are We The Waiting" is far and away the best ballad that Green Day has ever made and is the cornerstone of the American Idiot album.

#686 - "Cochise" - Audioslave - Audioslave - The third and highest ranking Audioslave song on the list, "Cochise" was the band's debut single and the perfect blending of the styles and abilities of the lead singer of Soundgarden and the rest of Rage Against The Machine.
