I Do I Do I Do I Do – Abba – As far as marriage acceptance goes, I prefer Colbie's… but this ebullient cream puff is pretty ace as well.
2. Hittin Me Up – Messy Marvin – Smooth jazz backing track, handclaps aplenty, and a gangsta story anything but a fairytale.
3. Energy – Superheavy – If the entire album was as forceful a groove (listen to that harp!), it might be as great as Rolling Stone claim it is.
4. Betterman (Live At Madison Square Garden) – I never understood how this could be an anthem; the subject matter -wife beating, is horrifying. But this 2010 live version, easily the best I've ever heard, is an anthem and then some with the audience singing the first verse and chorus and Eddie, pouring it on to the end.
5. Lucky – Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat – This song is pure sunshine.
6. Apology (Acoustic) – Alessana – These guys are on the verge of turning hardcore sideways.
7. Son The Father – Fucked Up – Better than anything on the new one, by a long shot.
8. Breathe – Taylor Swift and Colbie Caillat – Yeah, priming for Colbie on Monday.
9. Birtha – Grateful Dead – From the 1972 European tour.
10. Seconds – The Human League
