70.
Ryan Adams / "City Rain City Streets" / Love is Hell Pt. 2 / 2003
Stately yet profane and utterly gorgeous.



69.
Supergrass / "Tales of Endurance (Parts 4, 5, & 6)" / Road to Rouen / 2006
A pocket symphony coupled with a surprisingly funky outro.


68.
Ra Ra Riot / "Winter '05" / The Rhumb Line / 2008
A beautiful, understated chamber pop piece, led by one of the best indie vocalists of the past ten years.



67.
Goldfrapp / "Number 1" / Supernature / 2005
Somewhere between dance and pop. Unique and catchy.



66.
Phoenix / "One Time Too Many" / It's Never Been Like That / 2006
Immaculately detailed and poppy in the best way.



65.
Mew / "Introducing Palace Players" / No More Stories... / 2009
Dissonance gives way to beauty. Stadium indie at its finest.



64.
Franz Ferdinand / "I'm Your Villain" / You Could Have It So Much Better / 2005
May not have been their biggest song, but it was the best example of their "let's weld these two songs together and see what happens" approach. Louche and tense, but still charming in a strange, strange way.



63.
Fleet Foxes / "She Got Dressed" / Fleet Foxes E.P. / 2005ish
Not from the album, not from the last EP. A hard to find track, but one of their best. A sugar rush of Beach Boys harmonies.


62.
The Rapture / "Don Gon Do It" / Pieces of the People We Love / 2006
Electrocuted vocals, a hint of Queen running headlong into disco, and a slithery hook.



61.
Office / "Possibilities" / Q&A / 2006
A chunky, shoegaze-tinged singalong. No video available of this unfortunately, so you'll have to check out the Myspace.
And That would be right here

  1. Ra Ra Riot's "Winter '05" has a real charm to it and the video is exactly what fit in my mind while listening to it. Great addition to a grand list:)
