39. New Bomb Turks - "I Want My Baby...Dead?"
Let's pick up the pace here. A song that you DON'T want to play at a sorority house. Even if you think it's the coolest thing you ever heard, explaining this to a bunch of girls in sweats is fucking hard. "He doesn't really mean he wants his girl dead, he is just sick of her. I don't want to explain this again." Hey dude, I'm not bagging on sorority chicks, but ...well, yes, I am. Dude, the song fucking rocks and lets you in on a little bit of inside information. Sometimes girlfriends don't rock and sometimes you feel you are better off alone. Meh. It happens. (T)

40. Subhumans - "Susan"
This might not be your favorite Subhumans' song. You might not even call it punk rock. But to this day I still know the lyrics. This song always came up in my head when I saw someone who just wanted out. Trust me. A lot of people in my life wanted out and were forced to keep going. But, they just wanted out. This tells you the story of one girl who wanted out years before but couldn't go. A weird, dark song about her wanting to die but staying alive just for others to smile, but in the end giving up. A really sad song about a girl who was forgotten in the end. (T)

41. SOD - "March of the SOD"
Oh, you knew it was gonna happen. Don't shake your head, 'cause you damn well knew it was coming. This was a song everyone waited for. Waited for on Friday nights when MTV played that stupid music show that featured music bands that played funny things called music videos. I know you are all surprised, but Headbangers Ball was something that was an era ago. Something that, when you heard the grind of this song, you knew it was going. Before Carson Daly took over, this is what we waited for. The bullrider, the trainwreck, the opening song. "March of the SOD." You could hear it at any party we were at. It was song that meant that everything you heard in the past was the past. Things were gonna get a bit harder now. (T)

42. Germs - "Lexicon Devil"
I was listening to an old D.I. tune. Something off some album. I remembered sitting in a bar with D.I. and stupidly asking them about that song. "You guys didn't do this did you? Who did it?" Being immediately shamed by them for not knowing this was the Germs they were covering. That's what made me buy the album. I won't lie. This stuff was way before my time and sometimes I can't understand it. The way Darby sings. I can't hear it. Fuck, I'm almost fucking deaf. Gimmie a break. We have talked about this before. But this song had energy. And it was mean. What was it about? Don't ask me. But I remember two songs and this was one of them. This song moved and surprisingly, Darby could keep up. I wasn't one of those people who wouldn't get a Germs burn but this song was coolio enough to light a cigarette to. (T)
