42. Strung Out - "Ultimate Devotion"
Fast-paced, dark and desperate, this is not your parent's love song. It's an ode to submissiveness or a plea for domination, depending on your point of view. In some ways it reminds me of that stalker-like, clingy love that you get in high school when you try to break up with a guy and he says he'd kill himself if you did and two days later he comes to school with his skin all red and blistery cause he tried to burn himself to death under the sun lamp in his parents' bathroom. Or maybe that's just me. -M download
28. TSOL - "Code Blue"
Is it really a song about fucking the dead or is it more like a statement on how much girls suck? Either way it's got fun lyrics (And I don't even care how she died...But I like it better if she smells of formaldehyde!). And really, even if you're not into necrophilia or bitching about what a prude your girl is, this song has such a great groove you'll find yourself moving along to it. And so what if you accidentally put it on a party mix and play it real loud while your neighbors are having a family outing in their backyard. Like they never heard the phrase "I wanna fuck the dead" before. Sheesh. -M download
29. Fear - "Gimmie Some Action"
A band that walks out and tells you they will walk out if you spit on them, then does walk off has got to be pretty cool. Lee Ving would come out, for each show, insult the crowd, then spit on the crowd, then jump into this song. It made entire floors turn into pits. It really didn't matter where you were at on the floor. If you were standing , you were in it. Surprise motherfucker. Didn't think you would get this did you? Get fucking used to it or go to the bar. This is the way it was gonna be for the next three minutes and if you don't like it, there is a Coors Lite waiting for you at the pussy bar. Take your Silver Bullet and sit at the side cause this is punk rock. This is a song that has balls hanging down to its god damn knees. And please don't ask me what that means, cause I don't even know. - T download
30. Butt Trumpet - "I'm Ugly And I Don't Know Why" This might be more of a song for girls or guys with low esteem. Hell, it was a song for everyone really. Who in the world has never had their love taken away. Then fucking insulted in the playground. Then got so angry they shoved a peanut up someone's ass. Don't fucking take my love and insult me. One is bad enough. Two means you get your fucking ass kicked. Hey dude, it happens. Bianca sounds so fucking angry in this song you just wanna grab a beer and watch the cat fight that gonna happen and place bets on whose gonna win. Great song... and I bet Bianca beat the shit out of the chick and she was farting Jiffy Spread for the next two weeks. -T download
