#710 - "Head On" - The Pixies - Trompe Le Monde - The first of eight Pixies songs on the countdown, "Head On" was actually written by the Pixies, though the Jesus and Mary Chain had the definitive version. I do prefer the JMC version, but this one, which is heavier is still excellent.
#709 - "Insane In The Brain" - Cypress Hill - Black Sunday - The first and only Cypress Hill song on the list, "Insane" is their biggest hit, though the success of the song did ruin the future of the band, as they got pigeonholed as the pro-pot band.
#708 - "Big Brat" - Phantom Planet - Phantom Planet - The second and highest-charting Phantom Planet song in the top 1000, "Big Brat" was one of the best post-punk songs of the 21st century with great lyrics and an excellent chorus.
#707 - "Bankrobber" - The Clash - The Clash On Broadway - The fourth of eighteen Clash songs on the list, "Bankrobber" is one of their best reggae-infused songs that the band ever created.
#706 - "Love Me Two Times" - The Doors - Strange Days - The third of ten Doors songs on the list, "Love Me Two Times" is one of the band's early, radio-friendly, not 9 minutes long hits from the mid-60's.
#705 - "Wake Me Up When September Ends" - Green Day - American Idiot - The second of nine Green Day songs on the list, "Wake Me Up" was the second-biggest hit off of the band's epic album American Idiot, and one of the band's best ballads.
#704 - "Heartbreaker" - Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II - The second of twenty-four Zeppelin songs on the countdown, "Heartbreaker" is usually paired with "Living Loving Maid", though the songs aren't together on the actual album. Here they're being judged separately and this is where it ranks as one of the best blues rock songs ever written.
#703 - "Nobody's Fault But My Own" - Beck - Mutations - The second of nine Beck songs in the top 1000, "Nobody's" is Beck's best ballad and a huge departure from his usual style.
#702 - "Love In A Void" - Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Peel Sessions - The second of four Siouxsie songs on the list, "Love In A Void" features the band's best chorus and a great beat throughout.
#701 - "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" - The Charlie Daniels Band - The first and only Charlie Daniels song on the countdown (what, you're surprised?), "Devil" is easily the best song to employ a fiddle prominently and one of the best in all of Southern Rock.
