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

#9 Imagine Dragons - "Radioactive" from "Night Visions" - 2012 was a great year for Imagine Dragons, and it all gets started with this booming indie rock classic. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU

#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

#7 Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band - "We Take Care Of Our Own" from "Wrecking Ball" -  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x8zBzxCwsM

#5 The Shins - "Simple Song" from "Port Of Morrow" - It was a great song before it was used when we finally met the mother, but now it'll live forever. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoLTPcD1S4Q

#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
