20. Dear Winter, AJR
AJR’s story about a father writing a letter to his unborn son is perhaps the most heart warming song of the year. Can some girl out there please just have his child so the world can be introduced to the already legendary, Winter?
19. Crash My Car, COIN
I have spent more time wondering how COIN filmed the video for “Crash My Car,” than thinking about any other video com
COIN gets better and better every passing year, and, in my opinion, are one of the top bands to watch in the coming decade.
18. Good Things Fall Apart, ILLENIUM
If good things really do fall apart, then this track by DJ and record producer Nicholas D. Miller should age just fine. Because it is not good, it is great.
17. Am I Doing It Right?, Alex Lahey
The title for “Best Female Rock Song of 2019” goes to Australian rocker, Alex Lahey. Her track “Am I Doing It Right?” is proof that whatever she is doing to create this fun, catchy modern rock, she is most certainly “doing it right?”
16. Stranger, Vampire Weekend
If you didn’t think “Stranger” by Vampire Weekend couldn’t get any better, how about this tidbit… the song is about lead singer, Ezra Koenig’s real life girlfriend, actress Rashida Jones from Park and Rec.
Here is to hoping that things stay very strange for Vampire Weekend in 2020 so they can create more gems like this.
15. Cringe, Matt Maeson
The only thing that makes me cringe about Matt Maeson’s “Cringe,” is when people are not as obsessed with the song as I am.
Those people very much make me cringe.
14. 2all, Catfish and the Bottlemen
“2all” is Catfish and the Bottlemen’s best work to date, which is a considerably strong statement seeing as they have had one hell of a decade since coming on the scene with their 2014 album The Balcony.
13. Choke, I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
The band, I DON”T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME should officially rename themselves THEY FOUND ME BECAUSE OF CHOKE WHICH IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF 2019.
12. Memories, Maroon 5
I will be the first to admit that I thought the days of Maroon 5 appearing near of top of any end of the year countdown were behind us, but “Memories” may be their most heart-wrenching, yet surprisingly comforting songs of their impressive career.
11. The End of the Game, Weezer
Everytime Weezer releases a new album I feel as though it may be their last masterpiece, but alas, they have proved to us that their game is very much still strong, and “The End of the Game” is proof they have a lot of game left in them.
