#109 The Black Keys - "Howlin' For You" from "Brothers" - The Black Keys have been the reigning champs of blues rock since The White Stripes broke up and "Howlin' For You" ranks amongst their best songs overall.

#107 Serj Tankian - "Left Of Center" from "Imperfect Harmonies" - The best System Of A Down song in years, "Left Of Center' is an intense heavy metal punch to the face.

Note: The video is insane and reminds me of the Tool videos from the mid-90's.


#106 The Dead Weather - "Die By The Drop" from "Sea Of Cowards" - Jack Black's most White Stripe-y song with The Dead Weather, "Die By The Drop" is a hooky blues rock song with a creeping backbeat that bleeds into pure classic rock a minute in.

#105 The Arcade Fire - "Modern Man" from "The Suburbs" - Yet another soul-searching / depressing indie rock song about the despair of modern life from the classic concept album, "The Suburbs".

#104 M.I.A. - "Born Free" from "Maya" - Now this is the M.I.A. that everyone hoped to here from on "Maya". "Born Free" is bombastic, in your face and fun with just enough weirdness to make it stand out in a crowd.

#103 Stone Temple Pilots - "Between The Lines" from "Stone Temple Pilots" - The pulse-pounding modern rock song that signaled the long-awaited return of STP, which lasted for a little less than a year, but at least they finished an album full of great glam rock like this song first.

#102 Soundgarden - "Black Rain" from "Telephantasm" - "Black Rain" was more of a teaser for the Soundgarden comeback than the comeback itself, but the song still ranks in the pantheon of great Soundgarden songs and shows that they're still one of the best heavy metal bands in the world, even after taking more than a year off.

#101 Black Milk - "Black And Brown" from "Album Of The Year" - A high-intensity hip hop song with great flow and in-your-face lyrical style.
