2011 was a better than normal year for good tunes. In no particular order, here’s a list of 21 songs that made my world a lot groovier. I don’t think that all of the tracks were released as singles, and if they were, many of these gems were probably not played in a mainstream way (like the radio). That’s sad, especially when over-produced pop songs that sound good on ONE LISTEN ONLY are played ad nauseum to the masses while they open their mouths wide for something to suck on.
Jack White
“Love is Blindness” by Jack White.
Lenny Kravitz
“Superlove” by Lenny Kravitz.
Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost!
“Hold My Breath” by Holy Ghost!
Christopher Owens of Girls
“Vomit” by Girls.
Duran Duran
“The Man Who Stole A Leopard” by Duran Duran.
Jonny Pierce of The Drums
“If He Likes It Let Him Do It” by The Drums.
Thom Yorke
“Lotus Flower” by Radiohead.
Lana Del Rey
“Blue Jeans (Penguin Prison Remix)” by Lana Del Rey.
Chris Glover of Penguin Prison
“Don’t **** With My Money” by Penguin Prison.
Chris Martin of Coldplay
“Up In Flames” by Coldplay.
Hanni El Khatib
“Come Alive” by Hanni El Khatib.
Friendly Fires
“Hurting” by Friendly Fires.
Adele
“Rolling In The Deep” by Adele.
Katy B
“Why You Always Here” by Katy B.
Philip Oakey of Human League
“Night People” by Human League.
Lindsey Buckingham
“In Our Own Time” by Lindsey Buckingham. Lindsey Buckingham just gets better with age. On his latest album “Seeds We Sow,” the songs range from reflective ballads to the rockin’ anthem “In Our Own Time,” which assets, “It wouldn’t make any difference. We crossed the line. From the fire we will rise again. In our own time.” It’s such an empowering anthem! It was a toss up between this song and “Stars Are Crazy,” which is a reflective look at questioning yourself.
Madeline Follin of Cults
“Abducted” by Cults. I love Cults.
Elizabeth Harper of Class Actress
“Keep You” by Class Actress.
Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine
“Breaking Down” by Florence and the Machine.
Fitz and the Tantrums
“Moneygrabber” by Fitz and the Tantrums.
Morris Day of the Original 7ven
”Strawberry Lake” by The Original 7ven.
