#257 Best Coast - "Each And Every Day" from "Crazy For You" - This song falls somewhere in-between dream pop and shoegaze. It has to be the catchiest song to ever feature a chorus of "you will never fall in love".

#256 The Old 97's - "A State Of Texas" from "The Grand Theatre Volume One" - Another hooky pop song from the criminally overlooked alt rock band The Old 97's.

#255 Locksley - "The Whip" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - A fun indie rock sing-along song that I probably would never have come across were it not on Blalock's IRP.

#254 Blitzen Trapper - "Laughing Lover" from "Destroyer Of The Void" - Another great indie folk song from the best band of said genre, Blitzen Trapper.

#253 The Thermals - "I'm Gonna Change Your Life" from "Personal Life" - It's unusual that this is the highest ranking Thermals song from their latest album, but then again, this would be a high placing for most bands.

#252 Never Shout Never - "Piggy Bank" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - It's a weird harmonica and drum rock song, but "Piggy Bank" has one of the catchiest choruses of the year and clever lyrics throughout.

#251 The Constellations - "What I See" from "Southern Gothic" - A socially conscious pop song with solid lyrics and a good hook.
