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.
