(Click here for the whole list.)


50. Decoder Ring — "Fractions"




49. Beirut — "Elephant Gun"




48. Tori Amos — "A Sorta Fairytale"

Here's a full band performance, but here's Tori Amos alone:




47. Ben Folds — "Zak and Sara"




46. John Mayer — "No Such Thing"




45. My Brightest Diamond — "Inside a Boy"




44. Hot Hot Heat — "No, Not Now"




43. Seal — "Waiting for You"




42. Zwan — "Lyric"

After the Smashing Pumpkins broke up, Billy Corgan brought a more positive and poppy approach to this sadly short-lived band.




41. Lady Gaga — "Speechless"
