For as vulgar and cliche as this song is; it has a killer chorus and Theo and Big Boi swagger about like champs. Though I wasn't really digging the rest of Big Boi's latest release: I can safely say that this song will be getting repeated listens well into 2013.
No. 4
Sure, A$AP Rocky isn't the greatest rapper you'll come across. But he knows what beats he sounds good on, and "Goldie" is proof ( if his mix tape didn't prove that already.) And guess what? Rocky actually has a pretty great flow on here too.
No. 3
The Vaccines have always had great singles, and "Teenage Icon" is no exception. The verses jerk and pull before bursting into the infectious chorus and there's a nice guitar interlude towards the finish.
No. 2
Good lord is this song great. It's dreamy and warm, with just a hint of nonchalance. Mac's second full length "2" was pretty great and had a couple other singles that would have easily taken this spot. But "My Kind Of Woman" wins because it's the reason I gave "2" repeated listens.
No. 1
When I was thinking about what my favorite singles were for 2012, "Hey Jane" has always been my number 1. It's just so epic and brings Spiritualized back to their roots; in fact, all of their latest album does. Not only is this a fantastic opener to a great album; but it's also my favorite single for 2012.
Side Note: I implore you to check out the official music video for "Hey Jane" it's an amazing video.
