45. Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough



I was never a fan of the Preachers, never knew much about them at all, actually. But, this song was instantly memorable. A good old fashioned catchy rock duet.

44. Ola Svensson - Natalie



Reveling in its own campiness, this power-pop track was unstoppable in Sweden this year. Even the most alternative of listeners has got to admit that this is majorly catchy.

43. Vincent Black Shadow - Metro



This was the No Doubt single that No Doubt didn’t release. It’s a shame it didn’t catch on in the States, but I bet it would have been massive in the late nineties.

42. The Killers - For Reasons Unknown



The best single off of Sam’s Town (other than the epic lead track, When We Were Young), this song single-handedly reminded me why I love this band.

41. The Enemy - Had Enough



It’s all in those opening drums. Luckily, though, the rest of the song is amazing as well, with an energy of protest that is absolutely adrenaline pumping.
