Luke's Favorite Songs of the Decade: 80-71

80: Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks




If you read this blog and haven't heard this yet, then you aren't reading very well.



79: Hope of the States - Nehimiah



Sam Herlihy has one of the weirdest voices ever, but you can't argue with HOTS ability to craft one hell of an epic.



78: The Kooks - Jackie Big Tits



A phenomenal song for winding down a party, this song is impossible not to start singing along to even during one's first listen... it just sounds so damned familiar.


77: The Natural History - Watch This House





The Natural History are a secret fetish of mine... short and simple, but incredibly fun little tunes.  This is their best, in my humble opinion.



76: The Strokes - Under Control




Bold choice, I know, but the groove in this song speaks to me... it has such a cool vibe that it wasn't even close for me when choosing a favorite Strokes song.



75: Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof



How can anyone deny the brilliance of a song that mentions eaves?

74: Kings of Leon - King of the Rodeo




Long before their breakout success, Kings of Leon were the soundtrack to many a drunken night with King of the Rodeo... nobody is better for creating soundalike lyrics than Kings of Leon.

"You taco roller!  You taco roller!"


73: The Bees - Chicken Payback





I still wish I had made my brother dance to this at my wedding rather than John Denver during the hog trough dance... ah well.



72: The Soundtrack of Our Lives - Sister Surround



The true kings of Swedish garage rock are TSOOL, not The Hives.  This song is so good live it is scary.



71: Ikara Colt - At the Lodge




Dirty as hell and with more attitude than should really be legally allowed, it's too bad Ikara Colt didn't last long enough to make more of an impact.
