And yet you still can't help but shake whenever it comes on.

Japandroids, performing The House That Heaven Built: 9
In an era when every other song seems to use "oh oh ohs" as a hook, these actually make me feel something.
Sleigh Bells, performing Crown on the Ground: 8
Loud, loud, LOUD and perfect. Rock me, Amadeus!
The Killers, performing Mr. Brightside: 7
From the opening guitar riff to Brandon Flowers' prickly desperation, everything about it still works for me.
Rilo Kiley, performing Portions for Foxes: 6
Ah, this takes me back to a simpler time, when people still cared about Grey's Anatomy and I was just discovering indie rock.
Neko Case, performing I Wish I Was the Moon: 5
Absolutely lovely, and probably something I would appreciate more outside the context of this competition.
Charli XCX, performing What I Like: 4
#swaggy (and way too awesome to be ranked so low on my list).
Vampire Weekend, performing Giving Up the Gun: 3
As Britney would say, it's very cool and a lot of fun.
2NE1, performing I Love You: 2
ATRL, stop trying to make K-pop happen! It's not going to happen!
Paramore, performing Still Into You: 1
What kind of sub-Demi Lovato mess? Who picked this when "The Only Exception" exists?

4 Vampire Weekend, performing Giving Up the Gun
Sounds like an iTunes commercial. I like!
9 Charli XCX, performing What I Like
Epitome of youth, playfulness, innocence, naivety, and teenage just-too-coolness. Love the flow and song structure, as well.
1 The Killers, performing Mr. Brightside
Getting too much love. #sabotage
2 2NE1, performing I Love You
Also getting way too much love.
5 Paramore, performing Still Into You
Catchy chorus. Could have possibly been higher if she didn't deliver that choked duck vocal at the end of the bridge.
6 Japandroids, performing The House That Heaven Built
Very emotional.
7 Sleigh Bells, performing Crown on the Ground
Exciting!
3 Rilo Kiley, performing Portions for Foxes
I really like Silver Lining.
8 Neko Case, performing I Wish I Was the Moon
I loved this on True Blood! It was the perfect song for the thing that happened. Also reminds me a bit of "I'm Jealous" by Shania.

9: Giving Up The Gun - Vampire Weekend are the best.
8: Still Into You - Okay Paramore are also the best. Can't count the years on one hand that we've been together / I need the other one to hold you.  Paramore is AOTY btw.
7: What I Like - Yes hon', get your life.
6: The House That Heaven Built - I use. Tell them aaaaall to go to hell. 
5: Crown On The Ground - Hon', the sound quality in that youtube! Utter mess! Thankfully I decided to go on Spotify, and it actually kiiiind of bangs in an I'm-never-going-to-listen-to-this-again kind of way.
4: Mr. Brightside - OPEN UP MY EEEEEEAGER EYES. The Jacques Lu Cont remix tho >>>
3: I Love You - Mess to these ears.
2: I Wish I Was The Moon - Not living for it.
1: Portions For Foxes - Yawn.

Vampire Weekend, “Giving Up the Gun” – Best song on this round. I love the production. 9
Rilo Kiley, “Portions for Foxes” – Aw, Jenny! Nice to have RK in this round. 8
Sleigh Bells, “Crown on the Ground” – Not so hot on this. 7
Japandroids, “The House That Heaven Built” – This is good, but it’s just there are many better song (that appeal to me) in this round. 6
Paramore, “Still Into You” – They have better songs from their new album, really. Why this one? Why not “Fast in My Car”? 5
Neko Case, “I Wish I Was the Moon” – 4
The Killers, “Mr. Brightside” – Meh. Overplayed, song alone is aight. Loud, but boring. 3
Charli XCX, “What I Like” – Just not feeling it. 2
2NE1, “I Love You” – This is them, trying to appeal to the Europe market. Generic. 1

Mr. Brightside, I Love You & What I Like seem to get polarizing reception lolz
Giving Up the Gun is mixed to positive, and it probably has the highest score so far.
