TheMusicGeek's Best of the Year List 4

War Tapes - Dreaming of You
I don't tend to like "love songs" in the traditional sense, but I dig this one. Even if it is a bit creepy...



The Noisettes - Don't upset the Rhythm
The girl fronted group of my craziest dreams, combining soul, rock, rhythm and blues into one big grand mess of a sound.

Big Sean - Getcha Some
fresh song, fresh music video.

Thunderheist - Jerk It
Hailing from Toronto, I've had this song on my mp3 on repeat for months.



Shakira - La Loba
Yeah say what you want, this song is super catchy...but I refuse to listen to it in English.

Erik Hassle - Don't Bring Flowers
Some have called him "the male version of La Roux" probably because they both have fiery red hair, but he makes completely different music...and it's awesome.



Ramona Falls - Meletric
You know I like a band when I've mentioned them in three different blog posts (or really hate them...one or the other).



Miike Snow - Animal
Dub, soul, and indie rock combine resulting in a combustible single.



White Lies - Death
Released in 2008 but it didn't start to get any attention in the US until this summer...and it is a great song.

The Harlem Shakes - Sunlight
My favorite song from this band (unfortunately I haven't found any other songs from them that I like as much) although it doesn't matter...it's a great track.
