Continuing with my list of the best songs of the 2010s…
(Click here for the whole list so far, with a Spotify playlist.)
90. Rihanna (feat. Calvin Harris) — "We Found Love"
This is really a study in minimalism, seizing on one emotionally resonant line and repeating it over and over as the foundation of the song:
We found love in a hopeless place(Piano-based cover.)
89. Phoebe Bridgers — "Motion Sickness"
She sings the first two lines with such pure directness:
I hate you for what you did(Live.)
But I miss you like a little kid
88. Young the Giant — "Superposition"
(A more stripped-down version.)
87. Temples — "Hot Motion"
86. Dirty Projectors — "About to Die"
A band that seems constantly comical, yet serious.
85. Rose Windows — "Wartime Lovers"
84. Metallica — "Halo on Fire"
(Mini-documentary on the making of this song.)
83. Arcade Fire — "The Suburbs"
82. The Smashing Pumpkins — "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)"
So many of the great '90s rock bands have lost their lead singers, forcing them to either disband or reinvent themselves with new singers. So it’s good to see other '90s bands still going strong with most of their original members, like Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Smashing Pumpkins. The Pumpkins are no longer doing their best work after 3 decades, but they haven’t run out of inspiration.
(My blog tribute to Billy Corgan.)
81. Japanese Breakfast — "Boyish"
