20. Wilco - "I Might"

19. The Fray - "Heartbeat"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWnXSV6uZps
Yes, I do have The Fray in my top 20. And don't even try to pretend like you don't love this song too.
18. TV on the Radio - "Will Do"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9erHKnztSA
17. Sleeper Agent - "Get it Daddy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUF2RDHDtzM
The underdog rock hit of the year. These guys are so young it almost makes me feel like I'm too old to be listening to their music.
16. Real Estate - "It's Real"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWcViTXdYc&ob=av3e
15. The Decemberists - "Don't Carry it All"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEnUp2j8TV4
If you want to have one of your songs land in my Top 30 list, here's a good recipe: heavy drums + harmonica. Love it.
14. Fleet Foxes - "Lorelai"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVyLukxXKIc
13. Augustana - "Shot in the Dark"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gue2tmm8iE
One of the most underrated bands out there today, Augustana turns out a song Bruce Springsteen would be proud of.
12. Lucinda Williams - "Blessed"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubs-9C1zge0
11. M83 - "Midnight City"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3k_QDnzHE
This is one of those songs where it's hard to explain why it's so good. You just know it is. "Hurry Up We're Dreaming" is one of the year's best albums, as well.
