1. I Need A Doctor – Dr. Dre – This song cuts so deep, is so deeply felt, serious, personal and moving, it was an anomalie. Grey’s chorus is a beauty but better still? Eminem’s rap. Which cuts anything he has done in years.
2. I Heard You Say – Vivian Girls – My problem with this band is the slightness of their melodies, but at least in the Byrds (or is that Bangles) harmonies, they seem to have fixed it.
3. Jejune Stars – Bright Eyes
4. Haile Selassie – Bright Eyes – Sure it is taking time, but not all love is at first sight.
5. Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO – So juvenile, such big babies, so much fun.
6. Mine Is Yours – Cold War Kids – So there is only one great song on the newbie. At least there is one great song on the newbie.
7. Red Fox Run – Twin Tigers – best show of the year -hough I have been in hiding all year!
8. Lassie – Mike Ogletree – So Scottish!!
9. Love Love Love – The Queers
10. Cry When you Get Older – Robyn – Her brightest pop moment, and at Radio City on Saturday!!
