326. School’s Out: Alice Cooper- What better song to appeal to teens?
327. Take Me Out: Franz Ferdinand- Nothing like a song about snipers. Where's Tipper to complain about Frank Ferdinand's negative impact on the youth of the world?
328. Heartbreaker: Led Zeppelin- This has swagger, anger, angst, and a twinge of self doubt.
329. Cortez the Killer: Neil Young- This takes like 3 minutes to get going…and then the history is not only bad, but wrong.
330. Fight the Power: Public Enemy- Chuck D came from the suburbs…
331. Dancing Barefoot: Patti Smith Group- Patti Smith’s mystical orgasm.
332. Baby Love: The Supremes- Every girl group from Destiny’s Child to TLC owe a debt to The Supremes.
333. Good Lovin’: The Young Rascals- When I briefly did radio, there was a guy that played this song all the time. I can’t listen to it anymore.
334. Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine- Good God y’all!
335. For Your Precious Love: Jerry Butler and the Impressions- A good example of gospel’s influence on music.
336. The End: The Doors- Jim Morrison’s ode to death and his mother.
337. That’s the Way of the World- Earth, Wind, and Fire- Want to know what music was like in 1975? Listen to this.
338. We Will Rock You: Queen- Queen’s answer to punk.
339. I Can’t Make You Love Me: Bonnie Raitt- I am not sure why this is here.
340. Subterranean Homesick Blues: Bob Dylan- Stream of consciousness at its finest. John Lennon was so intimidated by this that he thought he could no longer compete.
