2010 Song Project - Countdown - #50-#41

#50 Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers -"I Should Have Known It" from "Mojo" - Even when Petty releases an album quietly it still includes a series of great songs, such as this slice of blues rock excellence.

#49 Street Sweeper Social Club -"Ghetto Blaster" from "The Ghetto Blaster EP" - Although the Rage reunion album still seems far off, Tom Morello has kept busy with this side project, which is as Rage as any band has been since Zack's One Day As A Lion side project.

#48 Titus Andronicus -"A More Perfect Union" from "The Monitor" - Titus follows up their 2008 successes with a more radio-friendly sound on "The Monitor", a Civil War themed album that features this brilliant piece of art rock as it's centerpiece.

#47 Kanye West -"All Of The Lights" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - Kanye gets help from a cast of seemingly dozens on this song, but Rihanna plays the biggest guest role on this epic hip hop anthem.

#46 Seal -"Weight Of My Mistakes" from "Seal 6: Commitment" - Seal doesn't release very many great songs, but when he makes contact he tends to hit it out of the park. This song is on par with "Crazy" or "Kiss From A Rose".

#45 Eminem -"Not Afraid" from "Recovery" - Eminem continues his mid-career comeback with this excellent follow-up to "Love The Way You Lie".

#44 Big Boi -"Shine Blockas" from "Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son Of Chico Dusty" - A single from 2009, "Shine Blockas" was officially released on Big Boi's long-awaited "Left Foot" album and it's still excellent.

#43 Kanye West -"So Appalled" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - Kanye gets guest verses from his mentor Jay-Z and Wu-Tang Clan member The RZA on yet another great song from one of the greatest rap albums of all-time.

#42 Big Boi -"Shutterbugg" from "Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son Of Chico Dusty" - Big Boi is going to have a lot of songs on this countdown, but "Shutterbugg" is his highest charting song from his long-delayed but brilliant debut solo album.

#41 Foster The People -"Pumped Up Kicks" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - Another great indie pop song with a great chorus that helped a new band break through to the Modern Rock charts.
