The Top 500 Songs Of 2012 - Part 50 of 50, #10-#1
#10 Macklemore And Ryan Lewis (feat. Wanz) - "Thrift Shop" from "Thrift Shop" - A weird song with a message of questionable importance, but stacked with so many great elements, that it's impossible to disregard it's greatness. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes

#8 Lana Del Rey - "Blue Jeans" from "Born To Die" - It's a shame that Adele gets all the acclaim, because "Born To Die" is every bit as good of an album as "21" and in many cases, much better. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWox-i6aAk

#4 Of Monsters And Men - "Little Talks" from "My Head Is An Animal" - A returning song from the tail-end of the 2011 list, "Little Talks" is the best song from the prominent indie folk genre that's enjoying great alt. rock success and even crossing over to pop stations. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I
#3 Icona Pop (feat. Charli XCX) - "I Love It" from "Icona Pop" - Pure pop bliss with a booming glam pulse. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY
#2 Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band - "Death To My Hometown" from "Wrecking Ball" - Bruce's finest song in a decade, echoing the sound of the Dropkick Murphys singing a track from Highway 61 Revisited. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UASyS-jUKKI
#1 Fun. - "Some Nights" from "Some Nights" - An indie pop epic that calls to mind the best aspects of bombastic acts of the past (Queen) and present (Muse, Mika). - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkBeOisNM0

The Top 500 Songs Of 2012 - Part 49 of 50, #20-#11
#20 Japandroids - "The House That Heaven Built" from "Celebration Rock" - Japandroids enjoyed a surprising critical break-through in 2012 with their uniquely fuzzy take on garage rock. This song (along with the album it's on) made a number of the biggest year-end best of lists. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVCtbfuDqw
#19 Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe" from "Kiss" - I'm always a sucker for a perfect pop song, no matter how cheesy the song (or the video) is. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic
#18 Jack White - "Love Interruption" from "Blunderbuss" - It was a tough call to determine which song off of Jack White's solo debut would get top billing, but I'll give it to this ballad. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iErNRBTPbEc
#17 Fun. - "Carry On" from "Some Nights" - The lowest ranking of three Fun songs in the top 17, the most successful band in the 2012 rankings. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7yCLn-O-Y0
#16 Phillip Phillips - "Home" from "The World From The Side Of The Moon" - This is quite possibly the best song from any artist who got their start on American Idol, though there are a few songs from the pre-ranking era that could give it a run for it's money. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoRkntoHkIE
#15 Lana Del Rey - "Video Games" from "Born To Die" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE6wxDqdOV0
#14 Alex Clare - "Too Close" from "The Lateness Of The Hour" - Alex Clare didn't invent the EDM pop song, but he did perfect it. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYXjLbMZFmo
#13 Fun. (feat. Janelle Monae) - "We Are Young" from "Some Nights" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts
#12 Passion Pit - "Take A Walk" from "Gossamer" - Five years ago, if I had to wager on what the least likely breakthrough indie pop band would be, Passion Pit would be one of my most likely bets. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX6Q-Bj_xg
#11 The Lumineers - "Ho Hey" from "The Lumineers" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCBSSwgtg4

#24 Gorillaz (feat. Andre 3000 And James Murphy) - "Doyathing" from "Doyathing" - Usually when this much talent is accumulated in one song it ends up a disaster, but Gorillaz keeps doing it over and over again with tremendous results. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNeF30RverQ

#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
#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

#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
