7. The Rural Alberta Advantage – On the Rocks
6. Wye Oak – Glory
5. My Brightest Diamond – Lover Killer
4. Against Me! – Transgender Dysphoria Blues
Easily the most culturally important song on this list, it is a knockout combination of a catchy punk tune and heartbreaking lyrics.

I think Andrew Unterberger of SPIN said it best: “Songs this sexy shouldn’t be this scary; songs this scary shouldn’t be this soothing.”
2. The War on Drugs – Red Eyes
Slow building and relentless, it became one of my go to songs when I was out running.
1. Future Islands – Seasons (Waiting on You)
One of the most unique songs I heard this year, it just infects you and makes you want to dance like its lead singer:
