#138 Weezer - "Memories" from "Hurley" - Even if Weezer isn't as dynamic as they used to be, they are still a great pop rock band and every album they produce at least one brilliant single.

#135 MGMT - "Brian Eno" from "Congratulations" - "Congratulations" was a bit of a disappointing follow-up to "Oracular Spectacular" and I can't Say I endorse all the directions the band went on the album, but "Brian Eno" is a genius pop song that ranks amongst the band's best ("Kids", "Time To Pretend").

#134 The Radar Bros. - "Quarry" from "The Illustrated Garden" - An excellent indie folk song with a breezy tone and a driving backbeat throughout.

#133 Infant Sorrow - "Going Up" from "Get Him To The Greek" - If not for some radio unfriendly lyrics, this could have become a legitimate rock anthem. Of any song off of "Get Him To The Greek", this is the most difficult to identify as satirical.

#132 Los Campesinos! - "Romance Is Boring" from "Romance Is Boring" - The title track from LC!s latest album is an aggressive, bouncy indie rock song highlighted by its high-intensity chorus.
