ABlairican Pie · 12-31-2009, 09:12 PM

979. Neon Nights -- Black Sabbath

973. This Town -- Green River

972. It's Not My Time -- 3 Doors Down

971. Spanish Castle Magic -- Jimi Hendrix

If anyone wasn't aware already, Green River is considered the first "official" Seattle grunge band, in 1986, and "This Town" is considered the first official grunge "hit". Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, who went on to play in Pearl Jam, were in the band, as were Mark Arm and Steve Turner, who then went on to form Mudhoney.

947. Bold as Love -- Jimi Hendrix

946. Nothin' But a Good Time --Poison

945. Lay It Down -- RATT

944. Dani California -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

943. Achilles' Last Stand -- Led Zeppelin

942. Fire -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

941. Negasonic Teenage Warhead -- Monster Magnet

940. Pain -- Three Days Grace

ABlairican Pie · 01-01-2010, 03:47 PM

939. My Name Is Mud -- Primus

938. The Final Countdown -- Europe

937. New Divide -- Linkin Park

936. Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) -- Motley Crue

935. Somebody To Shove -- Soul Asylum

934. Plush (acoustic) -- Stone Temple Pilots

933. Unthought Known -- Pearl Jam

932. Without You -- Motley Crue

931. All I Want -- The Offspring

930. Mistress For Christmas -- AC/DC

We could probably dedicate that last one to Tiger Woods.

ABlairican Pie · 01-01-2010, 03:53 PM

929. Dream All Day -- The Posies

928. Baker Street -- Foo Fighters (cover of the Gerry Rafferty hit)

927. Through Glass -- Stone Sour

926. Get It On -- Kingdom Come

925. Black Betty -- Ram Jam

924. I Am the Bullgod -- Kid Rock

923. Remedy -- Seether

922. Ship of Fools -- Robert Plant

921. Shake Your Foundations -- AC/DC

920. Kiss Me Deadly -- Lita Ford

Even though Kingdom Come was ragged on as a "Led Zeppelin clone" band over twenty years ago, this song is actually awesome.

Another great song is "What Love Can Be". Interesting fact, not only did they open the Monsters of Rock tour with Metallica, Dokken, The Scorpions, and Van Halen in 1988, but they went on to open for The Scorpions but got reprimanded repeatedly for using the Scorpions' onstage ramps without their permission and were nearly kicked off the tour.

Just couldn't resist!

ABlairican Pie · 01-01-2010, 04:00 PM

919. Get On the Snake --Soundgarden

918. Dyer's Eve -- Metallica

917. Dancing Days -- Stone Temple Pilots (acoustic cover of the Led Zeppelin song)

916. Flower -- Soundgarden

915. When 3 is 2 -- Hammerbox

914. Beth -- KISS

913. So Happy -- Theory Of a Deadman

912. In My Dreams -- Dokken

911. 3 Libras -- A Perfect Circle

910. Your Disease --Saliva.

ABlairican Pie · 01-01-2010, 04:02 PM

909. Next To You -- Buckcherry

908. Rain When I Die -- Alice In Chains

907. Summer Nights -- Van Halen

906. A.D.I.D.A.S -- KoRn

905. Sickman -- Alice In Chains

904. Ain't No Rest For the Wicked -- Cage the Elephant

903. Bang Your Head -- Quiet Riot

902. The Ballad of Jayne --L.A. Guns

901. Tall Cool One -- Robert Plant

900. Break -- Three Days Grace

Believe it or not, there are still a number of people, after 26 years, who are convinced that the title track of Quiet Riot's 1983 #1 major label debut is called "Bang Your Head", due to the catchy chorus. It is in fact called "Metal Health". DUH!!!

But the good thing is that we get to hear it twice on this list.

Dude you have Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park listed twice. You have it listed at #981 and at #977.

You also have NEON KNIGHTS by BLACK SABBATH listed twice. You have it listed at #982 and at #979.

I think what happened was that when I began the list, I didn't have the official Top 999 list, because it wasn't up yet. I thought I'd give it a headstart and go by the playlist on the site that shows which songs were played when, and there was no numerical order, just the times that the songs were played. I was counting by myself what I thought was the proper numerical order of the songs, and of course, I was wrong. I can't figure out how I posted both the Linkin Park and Black Sabbath songs twice,
I must have gotten confused.

But now I went by the official list and corrected it.
