#130 - "Little Sister" - Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze - #14/16 - A thundering guitar riff drives the song from verse to verse peaking at the thundering chorus.
#129 - "Helter Skelter" - The Beatles - The White Album - #16/22 - A strangely controversial song thanks to Charles Manson, "Helter" is one of Lennon's best songs with it's rapid-fire guitars and passionate vocals driving the song throughout.
#128 - "Communication Breakdown" - Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I - #20/24 - This song represents the exact moment that heavy metal went from a louder form of blues rock to a genre all itself with it's lightning guitar riff and insane shrieking vocals from front-man Robert Plant.
#127 - "Sick Sick Sick" - Queens Of The Stone Age - Era Vulgaris - #15/16 - The best song off of their most recent album, "Sick" is another rapid-fire slice of punk stoner rock from the masters of the genre.
#126 - "E-Pro" - Beck - Guero - #7/9 - One of the best songs of the new millennium, "E-Pro" features typically quirky lyrics from Beck and couples them with a fantastic chorus to make for his best song since the 90's.
#125 - "Fell On Black Days" - Soundgarden - Superunknown - #9/11 - The early 90's were a great time to be an alternative rock band and Soundgarden was one of the best, "Fell On Black Days" highlighted the band's Sabbath meets Zeppelin sound with it's dynamic vocals and thundering beat.
#124 - "Boys Don't Cry" - The Cure - Boys Don't Cry - #5/6 - Of all of the Cure's big hits, "Boys" strikes me as having the best hook and most breakthrough potential. It's not their best song, but it's definitely their most fun to listen to.
#123 - "Down In A Hole" - Alice In Chains - Dirt - #6/8 - A harrowing look at heroin addiction from a man destroyed by the drug, "Down" is one of the most disturbing and moving songs ever written.
#122 - "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" - The Beatles - #18/22 - The Beatles were the greatest pop band of all-time when they met Bob Dylan, who supposedly introduced them to folk music... and marijuana... both of which would have a huge influence on their music, starting with this song, one of their best-written songs and a definite turning point in the career of the most important band in the history of rock n roll.
#121 - "Where It's At" - Beck - Odelay - #8/9 - One of the weirdest songs to ever become a hit, "Where" is a mix of indie rock and slacker rap that shifts from moment to moment making it almost completely indescribable.
