The Top 500 Songs Of 2011 - Part 26 of 50, #250-#241

#250 The Decemberists - "This Is Why We Fight" from "The King Is Dead" - At the beginning of the year, I would have thought this song would have been much higher, but there are even several songs from the same album that ranked much higher. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLSOzcEQjiE

#249 We Were Promised Jetpacks - "Through The Dirt And The Gravel" from "In The Pit Of The Stomach" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEYW-IXor9c

#248 Sloan - "I've Gotta Know" from "The Double Cross" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg5bzBYr2zc

#247 The Knux - "1974" from "Eraser" - Featuring Natalia Kills - An actual Knux video on youtube?!? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWzW1gB2fRY

#246 Jonsi - "Gathering Stories" from "We Bought A Zoo Soundtrack" - All I could think while watching this movie in a crowded theater the day after Christmas was "Cool.  All those people just got tricked into listening to Sigur Ros and they'll never even know it." - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyKK55SUqDk

#245 Lenka - "Roll With The Punches" from "Two" - 2011 was secretly a significant year for Lenka with the release of another great album and her song "The Show" being featured prominently in "Moneyball", though they did try to give credit for the song to a little girl who supposedly wrote it several years before Lena did. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZaE4TY09C8

#244 Travis Barker - "Let's Go" from "Give The Drummer Some" - Featuring Yelawolf, Twista, Busta Rhymes And Lil Jon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWt1y8tSXHE

#243 The Foo Fighters - "A Matter Of Time" from "Wasting Light" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHbX3ukV6dI

#242 Florence And The Machine - "What The Water Gave Me" from "Ceremonials" - Florence and the Machine are the most represented artist (tied with R.E.M. with 11 songs each) on the 2011 list, and most of them are in the top half of the countdown, so this list is quickly going to turn into a mini F+tM concert, which is fitting for one of the best albums of recent years - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am6rArVPip8

#241 Siskiyou - "Twigs And Stones" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr5ZaIrsCyA

I'm going to be out of town and away from my computer for the Labor Day weekend.  I'll try to get Part 27 posted on Tuesday, but it might not be until Wednesday.

#268 The Foo Fighters - "Dear Rosemary" from "Wasting Light" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rPVszLc7n0

#267 Parts And Labor - "A Thousand Roads" from "Constant Future" - Apparently, Parts and Labor broke up in 2011, so "Constant Future" will sadly serve as their swan song.  They'll be missed, at least by the small group of people who have actually heard of them. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys6dsv9PzxQ

#266 Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks - "Tigers" from "Mirror Traffic" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oD5pBRBIz8
