Monday Morning Rock: It’s Just A Matter Of Time -by Iman Lababedi

1. Colorado – For Science – One minute, seven seconds, no bridge, one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.

2. Cape Canaveral – Conor Oberst – The most purely poetic song Conor has written.

3. You’ll Need Those Fingers For Crossing – Los Campesinos – The god verse? Axiomatic.

4. June On The West Coast – Bright Eyes – Conor at 18? 20? 

5. Crossed Out Night – Ryan Adams – Ryan, Manhattan, heartbreak.

6. Love Story – Taylor Swift – Almost as good as “Speak Now”

7. Sausalito – Conor Oberst – A travelling song.

8. Train Under Water – Bright Eyes – On the lower west side

9. Titus Andronicus – Titus Andronicus – No faint praise here.

10. It’s Never That Easy Though, Is It? (Song For The Other Kurt) – Los Campesinos – I’m gonna get drunk and call her at four in the morning.

11. Leeloo – For Science – What a party, big boom.

12. No Baby I – Old 97’s – It is very hard to write a song like this. That’s why Rhett can’t do it all the time.

13. Tourist Trap – Bright Eyes – “There are people here but you are gone”? Epitaphic.

14. Eagle On A Pole – Conor Oberst – Third song off his first solo album -don’t go telling everyone.

15. Evil Urges – My Morning Jackets – The last great song Jim James has written.

16. For A Pessimist, I’m really Optimistic – Paramore – This song is so good not only did it make me a fan for a year but Taylor Swift ripped it off on “Better Than Revenge”

17. Richard – Billy Bragg – This song is so good, Patrick Stickles referenced it on The Monitor.

18. Go –  The Apples In  Stereo – That was then but then they didn’t little their sophist trip em up.

19. A-Punk – Vampire Weekend – Made em a legend.

20. Folkin Round – Panic At The Disco – The violin is gorgeous.
