1. Let Her Dance – The Bobby Fuller Four – It is to Bobby Fuller’s credit that Marshall Crenshaw’s cover doesn’t run the band out of town on a pole -indeed, as great as Crenshaw’s cover was, Fuller had all the highlights on this power pop early rock and roll triumph from the beginning – A+

2. Austin – Blake Shelton – His first hit is sub Strait ballad time – C+

3. It Girl – Pharrell William – This is so good it gives Timberlake andĀ Prince a run for their money, world class disco plus a lesson in the correct use of autotune – A
