1 – LSD – A$AP Rocky – Here is where, well, actually, what the hell? This is rap? It sounds like indie rock on a 60s psyckick, the rap is minimal, just a verse, but the rest of it sounds like a dream of sex and love runs under the covers, this is a song of the year – A
2 – Seeing Other People – Two boys kiss but only for practise, in this wonderful confused teen sex song – A
3 – Waiting For Love – Avicii – ANother western – C+
4 – 21 – Hunter Hayes – This is a rarity, a song I couldn’t stand during the 1-2-3 count in – D
5 – Miss Narcissist – Courtney Love – Everything about this song is ugly as fuck and not in a good way, worse than I thought – D
6 – Born In The USA – Bruce Springsteen – maybe his greatest song, a perfect song, important and yet a huge national anthem and yet without a jingoistic moment – A+
7 – I’m On Fire – Bruce Springsteen – Sure, the video didn’t quite work, but the song was sexy and slow fusing – A
8 – Hold On, We’re Going Home – Drake, Majid Jordan – Drake’s great pop soul moment towers over his moodier moments, a soulful love song and a huge hit for him, what matters here is how out of his rap whinger role he could go and still steal the show – A
9 – Mysterious Ways – U2 – This is why people still adore this band… because they could do this! – A
10 – All Over Nothing AT All – Ella Fitzgerald And Her Savoy Eight – This woman could sing, the song is nothing much and still sounds like heaven – B+
