2. Same Old You – Miranda Lambert – A crazy girlfriend going ex.
3. Runaway _ Kanye West – He will be playing it on the Watch The Throne Tour (I'm going tomorrow) but again, I'd have much prefereed a solo set.

6. Negative Creep – Nirvana – Always had this way with a hook, didn't he?
7. .Under the Influence Of The Meat Puppets – firehose – aren't we all/
