Their best track, and one of the greatest songs of all time. I don't hear it often these days, as there is alot of random stuff on mp3 player in the car, and my drive to work is usually 30mins top, so the window of opportunity to actually listen to it is pretty narrow. That opening riff & first minute brings a smile to your face every time.

.... and a nice cover, although it's a hard task to screw this track up.

I like the Black Keys. Didn't really give the first few albums a go, but the last album was superb, and went back to all the old stuff. Always seen them as a quality little band the rock crowd and the hipster crowd could like, unllike Kings of Leon who got too MOR & popular and alienated those who are too cool for school.

 

Surprised to see how many of their songs are amongst the most popular on Grooveshark though, rubbing shoulders with Rihanna, Lady Gaga and LMFAO.

 

Have you heard the Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears album? Fucking champion too.

That first Weeknd mixtape. Man, I think this might be the best release of 2011, it's my favourite, I think. Ridiculously well put together RNB, great production, great hooks, nice drum machines, enough colourful instrumentation when needed. The second one really peaks with The Birds but the first one just goes from strength to strength. I've been coming back to this for a couple of months now. PJ Harvey singing about the atrocities of war with an auto harp may be enjoyable but there's something about this kid talking about wet fannies and shagging that works ridiculously well with his tunes.

 

Gotye's tune is the best track of the year though, hands down. There's no way that lot can top that single because the album's not much cop and there's no precedent for them writing a song that good. Every crap poet has one good poem though, I suppose.
