Ugh not impressed with this list AT ALL. The only good song of The Strokes last year was "Machu Piccu" and even that wasn't one of the 90 best songs of the year. Just one example. Don't get me started on Simple Plan, Coldplay, S&M Remix and waaay to many Katy Perry songs littered on the countdown. Where's The Weeknd? tUnE-yArDs? Girls? M83?
oh well, at least "Video Games" and "****** In Paris" both charted, albeit way to low. And "Countdown" is good too, although "1+1" is unquestionably the best song off of 4.
P.S. Ace, what do you think of the new Tennis' album? I personally really like what working with Patrick Carney did for their sound.

Yeah, we're talking about ATRL here. tUnE-yArDs would only make this list if she made a song with Rihanna or Britney.
(On the other hand, M83 legit should have made the list, and I'm mildly surprised that it didn't.)
Better than some masterpieces
