10) Rush - XYZ

Bit of a jarring opening, but damn that dance-rock section at 1:38 is good stuff, made even better when the guitar comes in hard with the extra-funky strumming at 1:58. Oh yeah and this Neil Peart guy seems OK at drums, I guess.

(my apologies again, this time to Not_an_Owl - just the way things ended up falling!)

9) Streetlight Manifesto - Riding the Fourth Wave

I've had the main part of this track (0:35) stuck in my head more than maybe any other section of any song on the list. Unfairly catchy. I was kinda worried when I saw Streetlight Manifesto nominated to be honest - I find ska to be very hit and (usually) miss - but this is a great one, fantastic energy. I think maybe ska could often benefit from a lack of vocals......

8) Ronald Jenkees - Guitar Sound

No false advertising here - you are in for some major guitar sound. Epic chugging to cue the drums at 0:21. The reverb effect combined with the distortion is perfect, the guy sounds like he's playing in a giant cavern. WTF is the key change at 1:10?! It's so bizarre but makes the track more fascinating at the same time. The transition in and out of the electronic stuff is very fluid - the synth at 4:22 is a great addition and keeps things from becoming stale. This track started in the 30s for me and I just had to keep moving it further and further up, by far the biggest mover from the initial rankings.
