The Top 500 Songs Of 2012 - Part 47 of 50, #40-#31

#40 Big Boi (feat. B.o.B. And Wavves) - "Shoes For Running" from "Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors" - Indie rock meets hip hop on Big Boi's best song in years. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjxNToWSgkc

#39 Shooter Jennings (feat. Tom Morello And Eleanor Whitmore) - "The Long Road Ahead" from "Family Man" - The highest-charting country song in 2012, if by "country" you mean "a lost track from 'Bringing Down The Horse'". - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_L_cTJ2TZU

#38 Purity Ring - "Fineshrine" from "Shrines" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqw4wo8vdY8

#37 Miguel - "Adorn" from "Kaleidoscope Dreams" - The best R&B love song in years. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dM5QYdTo08

#36 Sleigh Bells - "Comeback Kid" from "Reign Of Terror" - Could Sleigh Bells be the next great indie rock band to cross over to mainstream success or is their sound just too fuzzy and unusual? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiwcUdX7XMw

#35 Metric - "Youth Without Youth" from "Synthetica" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttqMGYHhFFA

#34 Metallica - "Hell And Back" from "Beyond Magnetic EP" - The highest ranking song off of Metallica's "secret" 2012 EP of tracks that didn't make the cut for Death Magnetic. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cLnEsCDT8M

#33 Taylor Swift - "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" from "Red" - A perfect pop song with extra cheese.  Also, it's probably about Jake Gyllenhaal.  By the way, Taylor, ALL indie rock records are cooler than yours.  They just are. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA4iX5D9Z64

#32 Jack White - "Freedom At 21" from "Blunderbuss" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s92smjLq_38

#31 Frightened Rabbit - "State Hospital" from "State Hospital EP" - I have no doubt that this song will be on the 2013 list as well, as it was released on their official album as well as this EP. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJb4uNi1VwU
