57 "Men's Needs"
Cribs

This Brit-pop gem shows how these three Wakefield, England, brothers delivered one of the year's most slept-on albums: a wobbly, propulsive dance beat, sweetly melodic verse and a shout-along chorus with the right amount of angst.

58 "Grip Like a Vice"
The Go! Team

Ice-pick guitars, roller-rink organ, pounding drums, blaring horns and samples of Eighties fly-girl MCs Lisa Lee and Sha Rock make for the most thrilling cut on an album full of smart, genre-hopping mash-ups.

59 "Let It Go"
Keyshia Cole

Between this Oakland diva's pin-point croon, Missy's cheerleading raps and a great chorus, this hit made telling a guy to fuck off sound like hot fun on a Saturday night.

60 "Make It Witchu"
Queens of the Stone Age

On this relaxed yet filthy track, Josh Homme's voice splashes over Skynyrd-style guitars like Jack on the rocks.
