Lite-FM Strokes really hit a groove
11. 120 Days - Come Out (Come Down, Fade Out, Be Gone)

Short rocker, but pretty instrumental sections
08. Whitest Boy Alive - Burning
Erlend, you keep this up. You are the whitest boy alive.

Go Zach Condon! Lovely sentimental song a 19 year old could not have possibly written, but somehow did.
06. Midlake - Roscoe
Fleetwood Mac has been reincarnated!
05. TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me
The second most rocking thing behind "New Health Rock"

Tough call between this and "Knife" but this one wins out of sheer ingenuity
