that's not even the best song on that soundtrack

i don't know that it wasn't released in some previous year, but A Real Hero by College is the best song from Drive

That Kavinsky song has failed to deliver the goods.

Midnight City

I've been listening to it for what feels like years and I'm still not tired of it

You're probably trolling but that entire video is nothing but pedophile utopia.

11/25/2011 7:22:34 PM

yeah I was going to say Midnight City. It's stupid how many times I've listened to that song.

11/25/2011 11:30:01 PM

that's my number one of 2011, by a lot.

11/26/2011 1:20:01 AM

Midnight City +1

Probably my favorite album this year, too. Also agree with a lot of the singles posted in here and would add to those "Honey Bunny" by Girls and "Pumped Up Kicks" (corny as it may be, its a pretty great single with a really catchy hook).

11/26/2011 10:10:44 AM

pumped up kicks is the most irritating single of 2011 for me. i absolutely detest that song. so fucking annoying.

11/26/2011 11:32:12 AM

^I don't understand how it got so much buzz. Nothing about it strikes me as particularly original or good.

11/26/2011 11:45:04 AM

^^Yea seriously. I hear it on the radio nonstop when my girlfriend is listening to G105.

11/26/2011 12:01:18 PM

^as annoying as that song is, the edited version is even more obnoxious

11/26/2011 12:06:09 PM

i can't go to any sort of party or social gathering without hearing that fucking song, and it usually gets played more than one time. i got pretty drunk a week ago at a friend's house and told someone i was going to start acting unpleasant if they didn't turn that song off.

11/26/2011 12:54:57 PM

the gym i work at has played pumped up kicks 2-3 times per day since it came out. i've probably heard it 100 times in the past two months. it is my personal hell.

not sure if this counts since the album isn't due out until january 31, but the new imperial teen single from the merge winter sampler is super catchy

Real Estate - It's Real
M83 - Midnight City
St. Vincent - Surgeon

probably a tie between the three

12/8/2011 6:57:36 PM

i don't think this was a "single" per se, but my favorite song of the year is probably "the great fire" by future islands (feat. jenn from wye oak)

12/8/2011 7:20:39 PM

forgot about Jamie XX - Far Nearer

especially this version from one of his mixes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndgYEUw4Sk8

something by Adele probably

12/11/2011 12:21:09 AM

I can honestly say I read every post in this thread and knew none of the aforementioned artists

and I can live with that

OP: goddamn, your music tastes are so shitty it is like someone emptied a porta john out of my speakers

12/11/2011 9:35:48 PM

Adele and Chris Brown have been mentioned in this thread. Do you live under a rock?

[Edited on December 11, 2011 at 9:57 PM. Reason : not an endorsement of the quality of either artist, btw]

Considering Younger than Yesterday is the best song on that album, you couldn't be further from the truth.

Strange Mercy is also the best song on...Strange Mercy.

that dirty policeman line is fucking great, not to mention those chords behind it

All the songs on that Real Estate album sound very similar to me. They're good songs, but to me they're kind of a one-note band. I like them but I have to really be in the mood. If I had to pick a standout on that album, it'd probably be "It's Real."

Also, I was half-trolling re: "Pumped Up Kicks"...if I had to pick my favorite St. Vincent song of the year, it'd be mega close between "Cruel" and "Surgeon," but I'd probably go with "Cruel". I think they're both top 10 songs of the year, though.

And +1 for SBTRKT - "Wildfire"...that song is amazing

Favorite hip-hop single of the year was Big K.R.I.T. "Country Shit"...KRIT is underrated. As far as pop singles, I think "We Found Love" by Rihanna is a really catchy, interesting song.

Hadn't listened to those Jamie XX and CSS remixes, those are both really fucking good.
