Kings & Queens. Good call. Since I have a penchant for the first song off an album, I really love 368, and I think Hocus Pocus would be the most perfect song for a car chase scene in a movie. I think FR's Old Old Fashioned and Good Arms vs. Bad Arms are brilliant. Great suggestions! Thanks for the comment! Yes yes yes! Kings & Queens. Good call.

I'm with you on that. Most recently I'm in the process of slowly killing 'The Man's Machine' By Jamie T - I swear I've listened to it 200 times. Previous deaths this year include 'Keep Yourself Warm' by Frightened Rabbit and 'Great Expectations' by The Gaslight Anthem, although I fear these were released last year and my music radar is on a 12-month jetlag. I soundly agree with much of the list! If I find a song I like, I totally play it to death. I’m with you on that.

I was going to include a song off Diary since the remastered version was released this year, but I thought that would kinda be cheating. Did you see that Solange (Beyonce's sis) covered Stillness Is The Move? http://stereogum.com/archives/mp3/solange_covers_dirty_projectors_100771.html Love the Jeremy Enigk shout out.

I personally would substitute "Lasso" for "Lisztomania", but both songs are great... actually the whole album is great. Likewise, "The Train Song" is fantastic but I personally have to pick "Brackett, WI" by Bon Iver as my top "Dark Was the Night" track. Bat for Lashes is a phenomenal choice... and I don't really care which track. other top tens: "So Insane" by Discovery "Little Secrets" by Passion Pit "Young Hearts Spark Fire" by Japandroids "Two Doves" by Dirty Projectors "Make Believe" Jeremy Enigk Killer list… I personally would substitute “Lasso” for “Lisztomania”, but both songs are great… actually the whole album is great.
