Top 1000 Songs #290-#281

#290 - "Somebody To Love" - Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love - Somebody To Love - #2/3 - JA's most famous song, which is well-known for being intense and poorly performed by singer Grace Slick.

#289 - "Touch Of Grey" - The Grateful Dead - In The Dark - #3/3 - "Touch" was the Dead's comeback song and the most successful song of their career, exposing the band to a new generation of obsessive fans.

#288 - "Hotel California" - The Eagles - Hotel California - #4/4 - The best Eagles song was also the band's signature song for most of the 70's and a staple of classic rock radio.

#287 - "Light My Fire" - The Doors - The Doors - #9/10 - Keeping with the theme of legendary classic rock songs, "Light My Fire" is among the biggest with it's top-notch verses and it's extended instrumental mid-section.

#286 - "Stand By Me" - Ben E. King - Greatest Hits - #1/1 - King only had one hit in his career, but when it's as big as this one, you don't need a second.

#285 - "Accidents Will Happen" - Elvis Costello - Armed Forces - #7/11 - Yet another brilliant pop-punk song from the master of the New Wave genre, this song features one of his best choruses.

#284 - "Crosstown Traffic" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland - #6/9 - "Crosstown" isn't one of Jimi's bigger hits, but I can't figure out why. The song features a blistering guitar riff and some of Jimi's best lyrics.

#283 - "My Doorbell" - The White Stripes - Get Behind Me, Satan - #7/10 - The best song off of the "worst" White Stripes album in nearly a decade, "My Doorbell" is a stomping piano-driven hit that proves that it doesn't matter what instrument Jack White is playing, he can make it kick an amazing amount of ass.

#282 - "Wonderwall" - Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory - #4/6 - Oasis' biggest hit is also one of their best songs overall, with an epic sound and a full measure of bombast.

#281 - "Rockin' The Suburbs" - The Ben Folds Five - Rockin' The Suburbs - #1/1 - At first glance, this song seems like a sweet pop song, but if you pay attention it's actually one of the most sarcastic songs about the music industry ever written. And it's a great pop song as well.
