Top 1000 Songs #50-#41

#50 - "I Am Mine" - Pearl Jam - Riot Act - #25/25 - Pearl Jam's best song is highlighted by one of rock's greatest choruses and a passionate vocal from lead singer Eddie Vedder.

#49 - "London's Burning" - The Clash - The Clash - #17/18 - The ultimate punk song about boredom (although if he thinks London's boring, give South Dakota a try), "Burning" is intense and pulsing at an almost violent pace from start to finish.

#48 - "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - #17/20 - Jagger's bleak verses mix with a hopeful chorus to create one of the Stones' best songs. The choir blends perfectly with the song to create a legendary mix.

#47 - "Another One Bites The Dust" - Queen - The Game - #4/6 - The only good thing to ever come out of disco, "Another One" is a mixture of disco, rap and rock and one of the most interesting songs of the 80's.

#46 - "Money" - Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon - #11/14 - Floyd's epic classic about materialism is known for it's cash register opening but is best for it's lyrics and tempo throughout.

#45 - "Suffragette City" - David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - #9/10 - Bowie's best straightforward rock song is glam rock classic with punk leanings and the first known appearance of the phrase "Wham bam, thank you ma'am".

#44 - "Radio Free Europe" - R.E.M. - Murmur - #12/12 - R.E.M.'s first great song is also their best with it's soaring chorus and clever lyrics. The band has had many songs since, but none as significant as their debut.

#43 - "Bulls On Parade" - Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire - #12/12 - One of the best songs of the 90's, "Bulls" is an intense riot of a song with a legendary guitar riff and Rage's best lyrics and vocal performance from Zach De La Rocha.

#42 - "Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who - Who's Next - #6/9 - One of the best ballads of the rock era, "Behind Blue Eyes" was meant to be the swan song of the villain in a rock opera. That rock opera never really happened, but "Blue Eyes" still ended up being the climax of the band's best album "Next".

#41 - "Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd - The Wall - #12/14 - The catalyst song on The Wall, "Numb" served as the exact point when the story in the album took a turn for the worse. As a stand-alone song, "Numb" is one of the best songs of the late era of classic rock with sweeping choruses and brilliant lyrics.
