Top 100 Tracks of 2012 (#89-80)

89. Crystal Castles – Affection
CC at their best. Pre-gaming song for hipsters.

88. Right Away, Great Captain! – Blame
Song by Andy Hall, who was responsible for 2011's Song of the Year, Simple Math.

87. Fiona Apple – Werewolf
Fiona is back and her superior singer/song writer skills are showcased here.

86. Julia Holter – In the Same Room
A very odd song that teeters on the edge of being above average to amazing.

85. The Mars Volta – In Absentia
The ending of this track almost feels like The Mars Volta setting like a sun at dusk, creating the very image they chose to represent their final album.

84. alt-J – Tessellate
This song has a serious deal with it sound to it.

83. The xx – Try
How many great subtle guitar riffs are in this track, no seriously?

82. Rick Ross – Stay Schemin
Rick Ross & Drake seem to reach their pinnacle anytime they collaborate, but hey... we weren't with them shootin' in the gym, so what do we know?

81. The Shins – Simple Song
No year is complete without a classic Shins track.

80. Hop Along – No Good Al Joad
Emo music is short for 'emotion' and boy is this song full of Emo.
