Coldplay, “Lost+”: The reworking of this track (available on the CD-single, or online) only revision is a verse or two from Jay-Z. Even stranger? It doesn’t detract from one of the strongest songs on Coldplay’s new album.
Justice, “D.A.N.C.E.”: French-Euro techno-pop that’s more addictive than drugs. This one will stick in your head, whether you want it to or not.
Nickelback, “Gotta Be Somebody”: As I have mentioned previously, a song that will likely irritate me six months from now, after it’s been played to death everywhere.
Mos Def, “Ms. Fat Booty”: An older tune on this list, but has managed to come back onto my playlist.
Kanye West, “Love Lockdown”: Weird bit of trivia for ya: the group listed second on this list won a major European music award, which launched Mr. West into another patented tantrum (although to be honest, what can’t launch Kanye into a hissy-fit? No seriously, what can’t?).
The Killers, “Human”: As much as I like this tune, I think the chorus sucks. As in it doesn’t make sense, even abstractly. Lazy songwriting or a case of being too cool for the room? You be the judge.
Staind, “Believe”: Funny, I keep thinking I heard this song back in 2003. I wonder why…
Cameo, “Word Up”: Nice booty-shaking music. And performed by a lead singer with a red leather codpiece no less.
ABBA, “Take a Chance on Me”: No, this does not mean I’m a fan of Mamma Mia!
Beck, “Farewell Ride”: This track recently caught my ear after catching promos for The Shield’s last season. Dirty, grimy countryified rock.
