Easily one of the best opening tracks of the 2010s. Fittingly it's attached to one of the decade's best albums.

One of the greatest pop punk songs of all time. Point blank period.

This song blew my friggin mind the first time I heard it as a kid. Such an iconic build-up and an endlessly gratifying climax.

This is the worst Arcade Fire song.

clipping. rounds out an extremely impressive decade with yet another fantastic LP. The album's lead single and opener "Nothing Is Safe" is a masterclass in musical tension and a display of Daveed Diggs's considerable storytelling talent.

The song is incredible, but it's really the music video that takes my breath away time and time again. Video of the year 2019 and it isn't even very close.

Every instrument has its place and there's hardly a moment where the sound lets up. A standout musical moment of 2019 for sure.

Absolutely massive tune. Sharon Van Etten channels the spirit of Springsteen in his prime and writes one of the finest songs of 2019.

"I Believe In You" is Mark Hollis's masterpiece and one of the best songs ever written. I could go on about how this track, along with many of the amazing songs from Talk Talk's artistic peak, helped to set the foundation for post-rock as a genre, but really, that isn't what makes this song specifically so incredible. The sound of it all is entrancing, yes, but the true magic, like with many great songs, lies in the meaning. This song is Mark making a final plea to his brother to quit ... read more
