50. Flobots - Handlebars When I first heard "Handlebars", I was hooked on it. The song was unlike anything I had heard before. "Handlebars" spent a fair amount of time on my countdown. I never listened to Flobots album, but if it is anything like this song, I need to check it out.
49. Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Dawn of the Dead I had no clue who this band was until I heard this song on the radio at work one night. I was curious who it was. The lovely internet helped solve the mystery. This is a band everyone needs to check out. Their debut album is definitely something everyone needs to listen to.
48. The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid The 1st of 2 appearances from The Offspring, the 2nd single off their amazing album was a huge hit. "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" spent 11 weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock chart. The video could have been better, but with such an amazing song, it will be just fine.
47. Disturbed - Inside the Fire When I first heard this song, I was blown away. Over time though, it grow old and boring. That doesn't take away the pure awesomeness of the song. The video was pure awesome. TV had to censor it, which is a shame, but I see why they did.
46. Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy I'm usually not a big fan of female rappers, but Estelle caught my attention. Of course, it helps to have Kanye on the track. Radio really played this one a lot in the summer/fall. I've not heard anything else from Estelle, so I can't judge her too bad. "American Boy" though is a unique song I think everyone can enjoy.
48. The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid The 1st of 2 appearances from The Offspring, the 2nd single off their amazing album was a huge hit. "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" spent 11 weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock chart. The video could have been better, but with such an amazing song, it will be just fine.
Great start to the list! It's crazy how big that Offspring track really was.
Awesome for Estelle - and I prefer "Rise" over "Handlebars" - but still, Flobots is good stuff.
