One of the best songs of the year is Left Hand Free by Alt-J??? Come on guys. Alt-J have so many other awesome songs. Left Hand Free is a catchy radio single trying to get Taylor Swift fans to listen to Alt-J. You can do better.
WHY ISN’T PURE FICTION BY ERIC HUTCHINSON ON THIS LIST????? Seriously…
Great selections. Would have love to seen Fly Lo’s album though! You guys got him on your best songs though. So that’s cool.
