And at No. 17, I give you The Rainbow Butt Monkeys.

Well, that's what the Canadian band Finger Eleven was originally called before finally hitting it big in America in 2007. However, don't estimate the cleverness of the band's current name.

Finger Eleven. Think about it. Sorry you had to read that, Mom.

Alas, the band released what I think was the catchiest rock song of the year, if not the best. No, there are at least three rock songs on this list superior to "Paralyzer," but there is none with a better hook.

Furthermore, Finger Eleven employed some really excellent production in the verses by creating more of a funk sound with the bass and drums. When I was putting this list together, I factored in songwriting, pop culture relevance and whether or not I dug the song.

And it's the latter factor that warrants "Paralyzer" a spot on this list. Not one time that this song has played on the radio have I not turned up the radio full blast. I'm under no expectation that this band will even have another hit. Frankly, this wreaks of one-hit wonder on two fronts.

First, it's overly catchy, almost novelty-esque. It sets up this expectation among radio listeners that future work will be like this, and I suspect that Finger Eleven fancies itself more of a serious rock band. Just a hunch.

Second, it's way more of a pop tune than a rock tune. The structure of the song, the chords, the melody -- all of it -- are such that, I think, it could have been recorded by any number of acts and been a hit. Perhaps it's for that reason alone that "Paralyzer" deserves a spot on this chart: It's just a solid pop song.
