45 "Halloweenhead"
Ryan Adams

Adams roams the badlands of his own brain, wondering "what the fuck's wrong with me?" But the meaty classic-rock riffs and soaring chorus suggest he's just fine.

46 "Do You Feel Me"
Anthony Hamilton

The Bomb Squad's Hank Shocklee shellacks a butter-smooth groove while Hamilton tries to look into his lady's mind — and, OK, maybe up her dress. Like an Al Green song updated for big-pimpin' times.

47 "The Pretender"
Foo Fighters

A fist-pumper that proves Dave Grohl's got plenty of throat-shredding screams, ridiculously catchy choruses and loud-quiet-loud metalloid riffs left in his quiver.

48 "Kiss Kiss"
Chris Brown feat. T-Pain

Equal parts smooth seduction and club-shaking bounce, this was Usher's "Yeah!" with even stronger hooks.
