7. Witchcraft - You Bury Your Head (We need more doom in our lives)
   
8. Burning Brides - Hang Love (Grunge at its best)
   
9. Year Long Disaster - Per Qualche Dollaro (A Kinks offspring makes one hell of a rock'n'roll record.)
   
10. Radio Moscow - Mistreating Queen (More bands should be influenced by Deep Purple and Cream)
    
11. Turbonegro - Do You Do You Dig Destruction (They're back and more rocking/crazier than ever)
    
12. Goon Moon - My Machine (Zach Hill owns this track of stoner rock)
    
13. Dinosaur Jr. - This Is All I Came To Do (Mascis still has it, solos are drool worthy.
    
14. Electric Six - Rip It (They do rip it)
    
15. Turbo Fruits - 20th I Was Blue (Blues Punk at it's fastest and punkiest)
    
16. The Hives - Tick Tick Boom (Couldn't help it, they make awesome singles)
