Top 1000 Songs #420-#411

#420 - "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" - Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals - #1/4 - Marilyn Manson always gets a bad rep because no one can understand the rebellious sentiments behind his music and while it is true that a lot of his music has been very disappointing, two of his albums are brilliant, the goth metal "Antichrist Superstar" and the glam rock "Mechanical Animals", which featured this song as one of it's lead singles.

#419 - "Let's Spend The Night Together" - The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons - #7/20 - The Stones were asked to censor this song when they performed it on the Ed Sullivan Show and they did... for the most part, slipping up slightly when they correctly performed the chorus about spending the night together, which was actually offensive to the Puritans of the time.

#418 - "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire" - Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze - #10/16 - QOTSA is one of the greatest bands of the 21st Century and this track, among the many on this countdown, is a fine example of their creation of a stoner rock sound that exists as one of the few new styles of music to come around in recent history.

#417 - "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do What You're Told)" - The White Stripes - Icky Thump - #4/10 - If Led Zeppelin had survived for 25 more years and recorded indie rock in the new millennium, this might be exactly the type of song that they'd write as Jack and Meg nail the pounding riff and spiteful lyrics that made the band great and adds their own modern twist to it.

#416 - "School's Out" - Alice Cooper - School's Out - #2/2 - The ultimate song of grade school rebellion, Alice Cooper's mid-70's classic is still popular among students to this day on the last day of school. What's hidden in the youthful spirit of the song is the clever wordplay and the epic snarl of Alice's voice as he became the original Marilyn Manson and scared the living shit out of the parents of the children who would blame Manson for everything their kids did.

#415 - "Strange Brew" - Cream - Disraeli Gears - #3/5 - The trippiest of all of Cream's songs, "Strange Brew" featured a high-pitched vocal and out-there lyrics that are rivaled only by "White Rabbit" for the weirdest of the 60's.

#414 - "Learning To Fly" - Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder - #5/14 - The last great song that Pink Floyd ever recorded, "Learning To Fly" is one of the band's few great songs that weren't written by long-time lead singer Roger Watters. The chorus, in particular, is a highlight of the song.

#413 - "Rock Is Dead" - Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals - #2/4 - This song is among the best of Manson's heavy songs and was featured prominently during the Matrix. The lyrics are also among the band's best.

#412 - "Epic" - Faith No More - The Real Thing - #2/2 - Faith No More's best song and their biggest hit (it even made the top 10 on the pop charts!), "Epic" was the first great song to openly mix rap and rock music to create a new sound that would become insanely popular and insanely bad about 10 years down the road.

#411 - "Midnight Rider" - The Allman Brothers - Dreams - #2/4 - The Allman Brothers' epic blues rock classic "Midnight Rider" comes in at #411 on the countdown as the best AB song beyond their two biggest and most famous songs.
