1. False Jesii Part One – Pissed Jeans – An energetic call to worldwide lethargy, which seems to define 20 somethings shrugging their way through a downsized life in industrial Allentown. The sort of place that sucks so bad, Billy Joel used it as a metaphor for blue collar workers.

2. We Are The Champions – Mayday Parade – Sure, for the Giants BUT, this cover is straight up and well done. Especially on the verses.

3.You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go – Miley Cyrus – If you can get over her not being Hannah any more, listen to this perfect cover. Not "it always did hit me from below" but "when something's not right, it's wrong"

4. Fire Escape – Civil Twilight – Sounds like Arctic Monkeys… how is that working out, exactly?

5. Titanium – Davod Guetta And Sia – Is he releasing it as a single Stateside? Should reign on the Billboard 200 for months.

6. If You Don't Like The Effects, Don't Produce The Cause – Funkadelic – A jazzy workout with a hard bottom, chick singers, and Clinton proselyzing. What's not to like?

8. Mind Over Matter – The Rival Mob – A great band at the peak of their powers.

9. Amazing Love – Fred Hammond – Creamy, smooth, like he is channelling his inner Babyface.

10. Crazy To Love You – Leonard Cohen – He goes down to the pit in search of love before he croaks.
