#489 - "Got The Life" - Korn - Follow The Leader - The first of three Korn songs on the countdown, "Got The Life" was the band's biggest hit and represents the peak of their career. The video for the song is one of the all-time classics.
#488 - "The Spirit Of The Radio" - Rush - Permanent Waves - The second of three Rush songs in the top 1000, "Spirit" is the band's best-written song but not quite their best overall.
#487 - "Go Your Own Way" - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - The fourth of seven Fleetwood Mac songs on the list, "Go" is a relationship kiss-off song written by a band member and then sung by the person it was written about, which has to be one of the most awkward scenes in rock history.
#486 - "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" - AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - The fifth of nine AC/DC songs on the countdown, "Dirty Deeds" was one of the band's first big hits and features some of their nastiest and best lyrics.

#484 - "It's Good To Be King" - Tom Petty - Wildflowers - The eight of seventeen Petty songs on the countdown, "King" was one of his biggest solo hits coming off of his classic Wildflowers album. The chorus is a particular highlight.

#482 - "Vasoline" - Stone Temple Pilots - Purple - The fifth of six STP songs in the top 1000, "Vasoline" is a piledriving and brilliant modern rock song from one of the genre's best artists. This is possibly the band's best written song as well.
#481 - "Party Up" - DMX - And Then There Was X - The second and highest-charting DMX song on the list, "Party Up" is one of the best dance-rap songs ever written and features one of the best first verses and choruses of the genre.
