37 "Throw Some D's"
Rich Boy

"New money, motherfucker!/Just bought a Cadillac!" No rapper sounded more pleased with himself this year than Rich Boy, who made the happiest car song since the Beach Boys saved up for a 409.

38 "So Hott"
Kid Rock

The killer glam-trash stripper's anthem Rock was born to make, complete with sunbaked AC/DC riffs and so-stupid-they're-genius come-ons like "I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again."

39 "Guitar"
Prince

He plays an old PiL-via-U2 riff and purrs, "I love you, baby, but not like I love my guitar," leaving everybody else eating his purple dust.

40 "Old News"
Dr. Dog

With blissful harmonies, gather-round-the-piano hooks and a big, bright melody, this Philly indie-roots quintet finds two new minutes of Seventies-style pop.
