1 "Roc Boys" Jay-Z
And the winner is. . . Hov! This is black superhero music, circa 2007: Jay-Z goes to the movies and comes back with an even better film in his head, with a song that plays like the Copacabana scene in GoodFellas translated into hip-hop. The most triumphant sound anyone came up with all year, this track makes you fly in more ways than one.
---------------------
嗯，优胜者是…Hov！这大约是2007年黑人超级英雄的音乐：Jay-Z出演了电影但在他的脑海中有比电影更棒的歌曲，就像是GoodFellas（《好家伙》）中的Copacabana改编成了hip-hop的风格。整个2007年最成功的声音，这首"Roc Boys"可以让你用不同的方式在音乐的天空中翱翔。
2 "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country"
Randy Newman
"Let's drop the big one and see what happens." That was Newman's advice twenty-five years ago in "Political Science." But on this farewell to the American empire, it turns out we dropped the big one on ourselves: "The leaders we have/While they're the worst that we've had/Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen." Bush: not as bad as Stalin. Don't you feel better?
-----------------------
“丢下这个大的，看看会发生什么。”这是Newman在25年前"Political Science"中的忠告。但是这个对美国的辞别让丢下的大块砸到了我们自己身上：“现在当政的总统/是所有总统中最差的/几乎是这个可怜的世界上所能听闻的最差的。” 布什回应道“至少比斯大林好”你感觉好点了吗？
3 "Umbrella"
Rihanna
This year's "Crazy," as in the sleeper hit that becomes the world's favorite song. And then just keeps getting more popular, until everybody can hear that robot voice chanting "ella ella ella, ay ay ay" in their sleep. The guitars are prime Eighties studio rock, while the green-eyed lady on the mike sings like the Cranberries.
-----------------------
今年的疯狂之作，从让人昏昏欲睡的催眠曲一跃成为人们最喜欢的歌曲。时至今日变的越来越流行，每个人在临睡前都会听到那段像机器人声音的简短旋律"ella ella ella, ay ay ay"。吉他由最好的Eighties studio rock承担，而这位有着绿色眼睛的歌手在麦克前很有Cranberries（小红莓乐队）的感觉。
4 "D.A.N.C.E."
Justice
The breakout tune from the hypercool Paris dance label Ed Banger (run by Daft Punk's manager) is a blast of glitter-disco joy, with a rubbery bass line and an insistent children's chorus demanding that you "do the dance!" Just try to say no!
------------------------
这个空灵的声音出自让人亢奋的巴黎独立舞曲厂牌Ed Banger（由Daft Punk的经理管理），掀起了一阵绚丽的迪斯科风，歌曲中充满弹性的贝司和重复的童生合唱让你不禁跟着歌曲摇摆！让你欲罢不能！
5 "Four Winds"
Bright Eyes
The lyrics evoke W.B. Yeats; the music, J.C. Mellencamp. No song better captured our current sense of looming apocalypse than this one, which also makes a case for Conor Oberst as one of the best — and bravest — lyricists out there: "The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Koran's mute/If you burned them all together, you'd get close to the truth."
-------------------------
歌曲的歌词让人想起了W.B. Yeats（耶茨），旋律则使人想到了J.C. Mellencamp。其他歌曲都不能像"Four Winds"一样呈现现在海市蜃楼般的启示。这首歌曲还是Conor Oberst最好的、最勇敢的最品之一：圣经使人盲目，律法让人充耳不闻，可兰经让人沉默/如果你把他们全都烧掉，就会更接近真相。”
6 "Dough Is What I Got"
Lil Wayne
Insanely prolific (or maybe just insane), the self-proclaimed Best Rapper Alive works his down-South magic over a jazzy sax sample and proves his sub-zero flow can make the shy girls horny and the fly girls corny.
-------------------------
Lil Wayne是疯狂的多产艺人（或者说只是有点精神失常），自称是现世最好的说唱歌手。他制作了具有魔力的南方爵士萨克斯小样，以此来证明他的sub-zero flow可以让害羞的姑娘变的狂野，让轻浮的女孩变的朴素。
7 "Rehab"
Amy Winehouse
Not since Eminem has a pop song hit with this subversive force: The contrast between the retro production and the defiantly slurred chorus is hilarious at first — then heartbreaking.
-------------------------
自Eminem后以来从没有一首流行歌曲可以拥有如此颠覆性的力量：歌曲的开头部分热闹非凡，怀旧的风格和圆滑音的合唱形成鲜明的对比然后带给人的是令人心碎的感觉。
8 "Long Walk Home"
Bruce Springsteen
In a song that sums up the American moment better than any presidential candidate has managed, the darkness on the edge of town creeps into Main Street — and we're left to figure out what went wrong. And if the chorus leaves some hope that we'll regain what we've lost, the E Street Band's martial blare somehow guarantees it.
-------------------------
在这首歌曲里概括了现在美国比过去任何一个总统候选人都好的现状，城镇边缘的黑暗蔓延到了主要的大道，并且我们被留下来找出不对劲的地方。如果歌曲里的合唱给我们以希望可以重新得到失去的东西，那么E Street Band威武的奏鸣就是那希望的担保。（此简介中，多为对歌词意境的阐述）
9 "Boyz"
M.I.A.
A dutty-rock jam about riding with your girls, calling out the dude version of "How many ladies in the house?" Except M.I.A. turns those shout-outs into a global-capitalism survey: "How many no-money boys are crazy . . . how many start a war?"
-------------------------
一首dutty-rock风格的歌曲，与你心怡的女孩出行，用花花公子般的口吻大声叫喊“屋里有多少女孩”。除了这些之外，M.I.A.还把这首歌曲变成了全球资本主义影响的调查：“有多少穷小子躁动狂热…又有多少开始了战争？”
10 "Int'l Player's Anthem"
UGK
Before his sudden death, Pimp C celebrated his release from jail with the posse cut of the year: Houston's reigning hip-hop duo with fellow Dirty South crews Three 6 Mafia and OutKast.
-------------------------
在Pimp C的猝死之前，他还与一群唱片界的人，包括统治休斯顿hip-hop的Dirty South和Three 6 Mafia组成的二人组合，OutKast庆祝自己重获自由。
11 "Stronger"
Kanye West
Robot funk is the new soul loop! With his futuristic, Daft Punk-fueled synthfest, Kanye declares he's down with hipster America's obsession with French dance music.
-------------------------
Robot funk是新的灵魂的循环。歌曲中用到了充满未来感的Daft Punk-fueled电子合成器，Kanye坦承自己对爵士乐和法国舞曲的痴迷如同生了病一般。
12 "Gunslinger"
John Fogerty
Armed with Creedence-y twang, Fogerty turns Bush's love for Wild West demagoguery against him, yearning for some frontier justice to tame the "wild-eyed bunch" running the country.
-------------------------
用Creedence-y的弦声武装起来，Fogerty把Bush的爱转变成了对自己的西部蛮荒地区的谣言，他渴望公平正义可以驯服那些狂暴的人，让正义贯穿在乡村之中。
13 "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal"
Of Montreal
The best Bowie homage to mention Georges Bataille since . . . ever? Ever! Almost twelve minutes of emotional turmoil, with an intense krautrock groove full of synths and guitar. Kevin Barnes chronicles the details of a young love gone very, very bad.
-------------------------
最为出色的Bowie在任何时候都对Georges Bataille顶礼膜拜？是的！在这将近12分钟的情感风暴中，有着强烈的实验音乐的特点，电子合成和吉他充斥其中。Kevin Barnes讲述了年轻的爱是怎样变坏的细节。
14 "I Get Money"
50 Cent
This over-the-top celebration of stanky richness was one of the strongest radio hits of 2007, thanks to its grinding beat, nickel-plated hooks and 50's pile-driving rhymes.
--------------------------
由于歌曲中有碾压的鼓点，像镍币一样的符尾和50 Cent充满节奏的韵律，这首庆祝暴富的歌曲成为了2007年电台最常播放的经典之一。
15 "Piece of Me"
Britney Spears
Britney gets a pissed-off synth rocker to match her shaved head as she eviscerates the tabs one by one. Proof that she's got a soul — and the right producers to construct it for her.
---------------------------
Britney用合成的暴怒摇滚来配合她的光头，因为她要一个一个的突出歌曲中的标签。证明她领悟了制作人为她量身打造的"Piece of Me"的深意。
16 "You Got Yr Cherry Bomb"
Spoon
Britt Daniel's sandpaper voice meets a reconstituted Motown groove built on riffing saxes, a spry dance beat and loads of reverb.
----------------------------
Britt Daniel充满质感的嗓音与建立在萨克斯重复段上的“汽车城”节奏（指一种节拍强而 慢的节奏和布鲁斯舞曲）完美融合，歌曲中有活泼的舞曲鼓点和加载的电子混响。
17 "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi"
Radiohead
Just what nobody expected from Radiohead at this late date: a love song, with Thom Yorke singing like he's been spending quality time with his Al Green records.
-----------------------------
没有人奢望Radiohead在这么晚的时候还会推出一首爱情歌曲，Thom Yorke的唱腔好像他在享受与Al Green唱片合作的珍贵时光。
18 "Icky Thump"
The White Stripes
Wondering why there were so few great guitar riffs this year? Turns out Jack White used 'em all up in this song.
-----------------------------
想想为什么今年出色的吉他重复段这么少？答案是Jack White在"Icky Thump"里把它们都用光了。
19 "1234"
Feist
It starts with an acoustic guitar and lyrics that could have been written by Sesame Street's Count von Count. But then come the horns, banjo, pianos, choir and finger snaps — adding up to '07's world-conquering jam.
----------------------------
歌曲以原声吉他开始，歌词肯定是Sesame Street的Count von Count写的。但是接下来的萨克斯管，五弦琴，钢琴，唱诗班和响指融合起来就成了07年极受欢迎的歌曲。
20 "All My Friends"
LCD Soundsystem
Seven minutes of electro disco that capture the ecstatic bliss of a perfect drug-fueled night and the bittersweet comedown that follows. Heartstring-pulling and party-starting all at once
21 "Crank That"
Soulja Boy
A young Atlanta rhymer-producer cooks up a skeletal stomper and a no-budge MySpace clip, and ends up ruling hip-hop (at least for a few weeks).
22 "Keep the Car Running"
Arcade Fire
Over a mandolin riff, a propulsive two-step beat and a group-sung chorus, Win Butler murmurs and howls about the need to get the fuck out of a bad place. The best Bruce Springsteen song of 2007 not written by Bruce Springsteen.
23 "Teenage Love Affair"
Alicia Keys
This sunny head-bopper is an old-fashioned R&B make-out song, never getting past second base. But that doesn't mean it isn't full of erotic heat when Keys whispers, "Hey, boy, you know I really like being with you/Just hanging out is fine."
24 "What Goes Around . . . Comes Around"
Justin Timberlake
Timberlake's karmic payback tale is powered by a killer Bollywood-meets-Hollywood beat. "I was ready to give you my name. . . . Now it's all just a shame" — anger never sounded so sexy.
25 "Teenagers"
My Chemical Romance
My Chem all but cover the Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" on this unlikely Southern-rock rave-up — the catchiest and most fun song of their career.
26 "Same Girl"
R. Kelly and Usher
Turns out that Kels has learned something by churning out 400 chapters of "Trapped in the Closet." This hilarious minidrama exhibits considerable skill in laying out a complete story (R. and Usher discover they're both dating a young lady who works at TBS, went to Georgia Tech, drives a Durango and has an angel tattoo — it's the same girl!) in four minutes and twelve seconds. No sequels — or flatulent midgets — required.
27 "Silver Lining"
Rilo Kiley
Jenny Lewis and her bandmates are at their tuneful best, channeling Rumours and the pop-rock sensibility that may yet make them famous on this track about the dark and good things a breakup can bring.
28 "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"
Miranda Lambert
The title cut from the best country album of the year, this single found Lambert pushing the role of the rowdy Nashville lass to new extremes. Over bar-band stomp, Lambert narrates a rage-fueled encounter with her ex's new girl, and both her big chorus and slice-of-life story are long on raucous energy and entertainment value.
29 "The People"
Common
The Chicago MC name-checks Barack Obama and Finding Nemo, asking tough-but-funny questions like, "Why white folks focus on dogs and yoga/While people on the low end tryin' to ball and get over?"
30 "LDN"
Lily Allen
It has the sunniest chorus since Len's "Steal My Sunshine" — but as the street-scene lyrics suggest, surfaces can be deceiving: "Everything seems nice/But if you look twice/You can see it's all lies."
31 "Don't Matter"
Akon
Having proved he can do raunchy hip-hop jams, Akon comes up with the ultimate prom slow-jam: an endearing ballad about loving her even when everybody else thinks it's a bad idea.
32 "When Under Ether"
PJ Harvey
"Something's inside me/Unborn and unblessed." After fifteen years on the job, Polly Jean Harvey still finds fresh ways to give her fans the creeps — this time by stripping her sound down to a piano and her spooky voice.
33 "Backed Out on the . . ."
Kevin Drew
The Broken Social Scene co-founder gets nostalgic for OG indie rock with a Replacements-style chorus and some scribbly stoner-rock guitar heroics courtesy of actual OG indie-rock dude J Mascis.
34 "Are You Alright?"
Lucinda Williams
"Are you sleeping through the night?/Do you have someone to hold you tight?" she asks an ex on one of the saddest songs she's ever written, which pretty much makes it one of the saddest songs ever.
35 "Girlfriend"
Avril Lavigne
With its "I Want Candy" beat and bratty Hills-generation entitlement ("Hell, yeah, I'm the motherfucking princess," she chirps), this was '07's ultimate mall-punk shout-along.
36 "Situation"
1990s
These debauched Scots worship everything sleazy and glorious about 1970s New York punk. Their finest moment proves they can play as fast as they can drink.
37 "Throw Some D's"
Rich Boy
"New money, motherfucker!/Just bought a Cadillac!" No rapper sounded more pleased with himself this year than Rich Boy, who made the happiest car song since the Beach Boys saved up for a 409.
38 "So Hott"
Kid Rock
The killer glam-trash stripper's anthem Rock was born to make, complete with sunbaked AC/DC riffs and so-stupid-they're-genius come-ons like "I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again."
39 "Guitar"
Prince
He plays an old PiL-via-U2 riff and purrs, "I love you, baby, but not like I love my guitar," leaving everybody else eating his purple dust.
40 "Old News"
Dr. Dog
With blissful harmonies, gather-round-the-piano hooks and a big, bright melody, this Philly indie-roots quintet finds two new minutes of Seventies-style pop.
41 "Just Fine"
Mary J. Blige
The queen of hip-hop soul goes disco, with an electro-bounce sound rooted in early-1980s club music.
42 "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race"
Fall Out Boy
FOB get their R&B on? How could it go wrong? Several million ways, actually. Yet the latest installment of Pete Wentz's high-school-USA soap opera achieves greatness.
43 "Us Placers"
CRS
Kanye West forms a supergroup with Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams, and samples Thom Yorke for a one-off that can hang with anything on Graduation.
44 "Bleed It Out"
Linkin Park
Their simplest song ever, and their greatest — Brad Delson jumps out of the speakers with one monster riff; LP's vocal tag team of Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda sound more pissed off than ever.
45 "Halloweenhead"
Ryan Adams
Adams roams the badlands of his own brain, wondering "what the fuck's wrong with me?" But the meaty classic-rock riffs and soaring chorus suggest he's just fine.
46 "Do You Feel Me"
Anthony Hamilton
The Bomb Squad's Hank Shocklee shellacks a butter-smooth groove while Hamilton tries to look into his lady's mind — and, OK, maybe up her dress. Like an Al Green song updated for big-pimpin' times.
47 "The Pretender"
Foo Fighters
A fist-pumper that proves Dave Grohl's got plenty of throat-shredding screams, ridiculously catchy choruses and loud-quiet-loud metalloid riffs left in his quiver.
48 "Kiss Kiss"
Chris Brown feat. T-Pain
Equal parts smooth seduction and club-shaking bounce, this was Usher's "Yeah!" with even stronger hooks.
49 "Makes Me Wonder"
Maroon 5
Quite a player, that Adam Levine: In addition to his good looks, he's got that silky voice and a big bag of hooks. He deploys both on this dance-pop kiss-off, a hit brighter than any Swedish tunesmith has come up with in years.作者:

50 "The Heart Gently Weeps" Wu-Tang Clan
A Beatle's son, a Red Hot Chili Pepper and rap vets come together for 2007's most remarkable collabo; the melancholy of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is cut by grit from Ghostface Killah and Raekwon.
51 "Killing the Blues"
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
He's the golden god who once urged you to squeeze his lemon; she's the bluegrass virtuoso. They bring out each other's best on this bit of acoustic grown-up heartbreak.
52 "Pressing On"
John Doe
An unlikely highlight from the soundtrack of I'm Not There — one of Dylan's least-loved songs from his fundamentalist phase, rescued by the former X frontman, who has aged into the weather-beaten sage he always wanted to be.
53 "Black Mags"
The Cool Kids
You know how psyched Rich Boy is to have a car with new rims? That's how these Chi-town hip-hop supergeeks feel about tricked-out BMX bikes on their spare, nail-hard debut single.
54 "I-95"
Fountains of Wayne
A gorgeous ballad about nine hours on the highway just to be with her that thrives on its details: a rest stop full of Barney DVDs and G n' R posters, the sound of static on the radio, the elderly guy who can't even drive fifty-five.
55 "Hold On"
KT Tunstall
The Scottish lass rocks out here with big drums, Latin-style up-tempo guitar and a chorus that evokes the theme song to the Seventies kiddie-TV classic Villa Alegre.
56 "Lip Gloss"
Lil Mama
Things we know about Lil Mama: (1) her lip gloss is poppin', (2) her lip gloss is poppin'. Which is fine, because her angry-teen steez — and a raw beat that sounds like a locker door being repeatedly slammed — are more than enough to carry the lil' Brooklyn MC's debut single.
57 "Men's Needs"
Cribs
This Brit-pop gem shows how these three Wakefield, England, brothers delivered one of the year's most slept-on albums: a wobbly, propulsive dance beat, sweetly melodic verse and a shout-along chorus with the right amount of angst.
58 "Grip Like a Vice"
The Go! Team
Ice-pick guitars, roller-rink organ, pounding drums, blaring horns and samples of Eighties fly-girl MCs Lisa Lee and Sha Rock make for the most thrilling cut on an album full of smart, genre-hopping mash-ups.
59 "Let It Go"
Keyshia Cole
Between this Oakland diva's pin-point croon, Missy's cheerleading raps and a great chorus, this hit made telling a guy to fuck off sound like hot fun on a Saturday night.
60 "Make It Witchu"
Queens of the Stone Age
On this relaxed yet filthy track, Josh Homme's voice splashes over Skynyrd-style guitars like Jack on the rocks.
61 "Down Boy"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The art-punk threesome has never made a sicker, sleazier sound. Singer Karen O wails her heart out, and when guitarist Nick Zinner hits that riff, it's like Zep jamming with the Contortions.
62 "The Last Fight"
Velvet Revolver
Slash's warm, bluesy doodles carve heartache into a moody power ballad that simultaneously laments a drug overdose and the war in Iraq.
63 "Buy U a Drank"
T-Pain
Best pickup line of the year: "Let's get drunk and forget what we did." T-Pain overdubs his trademark filtered vocals into a strip-club chorale, while Yung Joc seals the deal: "When I whisper in your ear/Your legs hit the chandelier."
64 "The Magic Position"
Patrick Wolf
A three-minute spin on a sexual merry-go-round, led by Wolf, whose scarlet mop, six-foot-plus frame and choirboy vocals made him the thinking girl's rock-chick crush of the year. He piles up guitars, a toy piano and a giddy string section into an over-the-top make-out anthem.
65 "White People for Peace"
Against Me!
How the hell do you turn a line like "Protest songs, in response to military aggression" into a catchy chorus? These Florida punks figured it out and cooked up a rousing call to arms for leftists everywhere.
66 "Big Shit Poppin'"
T.I.
Over an action-packed, guitar-specked synth beat, the Atlanta MC drops rhymes both gritty and speedy. If this can't get you going on the treadmill, you're in trouble.
67 "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"
Vampire Weekend
New York prepsters take Eighties revivalism to a logical, if not previously foreseen, conclusion, biting off a big chunk of Paul Simon's Graceland for an indie-Africa fusion. Over a blissed-out Soweto groove, the It band of the season serenades a girl into Louis Vuitton, reggaeton and Peter Gabriel.
68 "Tambourine"
Eve
Swizz Beatz sets off firecrackers, bottle rockets and Eighties boombox beats. Eve leads the shake-shake-shake party chants all the way "from da hood to Dubai."
69 "Seahorse"
Devendra Banhart
Banhart croons about his desire to be a "little seahorse," shifting from acoustic guitar to a spooky, organ-fired waltz before landing in a heavy-duty psychedelic jam. Consider your mind blown.
70 "Bed" J. Holiday
In the tradition of love men like Teddy Pendergrass and Al Green, J. Holiday sings about how he's going to ease his lady's mind and proves that he knows exactly what he's talking about.
71 "Impossible Germany"
Wilco
Like growing a whole beard in six minutes — Jeff Tweedy sings in his loneliest voice, following jazzy chords sharper than anything he's pulled off in years.
72 "You! Me! Dancing!"
Los Campesinos!
A song about the raptures of the dance floor — except it's also a song nobody can dance to. Brilliant! But the spazzy feedback squalls from these Welsh guitar weirdos just add to the cheerful, romantic vibe.
73 "100 Days, 100 Nights"
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Dark, soaring horn-fueled R&B from a fifty-one-year-old diva and the Brooklyn band that helped shore up Amy Winehouse's soul.
74 "Comfy in Nautica"
Panda Bear
If those early-1970s Beach Boys records rock a little too hard for you, try this fluffy Gregorian chant that sums up the Animal Collective's state of mind: "Try to remember always/Always to have a good time."
75 "Phantom Limb"
The Shins
Reads like a Vicodin-addled daydream and sounds like a lost psych-pop masterpiece — proof James Mercer has melodic gifts like LeBron has leaping ability.
76 "Go Getta"
Young Jeezy
The Tony Robbins of the hustling set delivers an inspirational get-rich-now message over a dense, stomping electro beat and R. Kelly's sharp chorus.
77 "Chelsea Dagger"
The Fratellis
No Saturday night of drinking, dancing and catching diseases would be complete without this hit at closing time. The Scottish sex gods drool over a girl and her sister, whichever one will dance with them first.
78 "The Songs That We Sing"
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Music by Air, lyrics by Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon, vocals by Serge Gainsbourg's daughter — who gets inside the head of a dead singer, wondering what her songs still mean to the living.
79 "Myriad Harbor"
New Pornographers
A hilarious psych-folk tale from Canadian madman Dan Bejar about going to New York, getting lost, having a bad time, meeting pretty girls in record stores and saying stupid things.
80 "Stop Me" Mark Ronson
One of the year's left-field hits: Superproducer Ronson enlists Aussie R&B singer Daniel Merriweather to turn the 1987 Smiths hit into a bit of Manchester-via-Motown melancholy.
81 "Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe"
Okkervil River
The haunted Austin, Texas, band sounds lost in misery and whiskey, as Will Sheff brays, "It's just a life story/So there's no climax," with ragged Neil Young passion and a guitar solo to match.
82 "Ultimate"
Gogol Bordello
These New York gypsy punks have never rocked so smartly or with such force — the accordion-violin-drums groove plows forward like a tank, then explodes.
83 "The State of Massachusetts"
Dropkick Murphys
On the punkiest folk song — or the folkiest punk song — of the year, an abused mom loses her kids to the state.
84 "The Crystal Cat"
Dan Deacon
Not a tribute to Pete Doherty's drug-fed kitten. But it sure sounds like it — the synths actually mew! Baltimore compu-hipster Deacon chants his way through the verses and sets his vocals on "syrup-guzzling chipmunk" for the chorus of this electro-pop number.
85 "It's Me, Bitches" (Remix)
Swizz Beatz
R. Kelly delivers one of the most vivid boasts of all time ("After sex, I beat my chest like King Kong!"), and Swizz brings a freaked-out track that eventually resolves into the Wu-Tang's classic "C.R.E.A.M." beat.
86 "Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car"
Iron and Wine
With some drums and sound effects tossed in, this bit of rustic beauty evokes Nick Drake with a fuller palette and stronger id.
87 "Dashboard"
Modest Mouse
Seattle indie rockers' strings 'n' horns disco mix is the car song of '07: "The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio!"
88 "Computer Camp Love"
Datarock
A classic story: Boy meets girl; girl shows boy how to manipulate her circuitry. A note-perfect tale of nerd love from two Norwegian dance rockers
89 "I Wish That I Could See You Soon"
Herman Dune
French folkies with a Jonathan Richman fixation address rock's criminal lack of ukulele on this totally twee, utterly charming tune, complete with horns, bongos and backup angels.
90 "Threshold Apprehension"
Black Francis
Black Francis, using his Pixies name instead of his usual solo moniker of Frank Black, reinvents the gigantic razor-blade-guitar attack of his old band and slashes away for the best Pixies song since "U-Mass."
91 "Freak Out"
Liars
Bad ideas come in many flavors: disasters, catastrophes and attempts to make melodic pop from out-of-tune-guitar noise. Yet these ne'er-do-wells' career album spins bad ideas into gold — especially with this surf-punk gem, which could be a lost hit from the Jesus and Mary Chain.
92 "Mistaken for Strangers"
The National
Matt Berninger vents over a post-punk guitar loop; if Joy Division had been Dylan fans, they might have sounded like this.
93 "Is There a Ghost"
Band of Horses
Southern rock goes shoegazing in this atmospheric jam. There are fewer than fifteen words in the lyrics, but packed into Ben Bridwell's vocals is a whole doctoral thesis on what it means to be bummed out.
94 "2 Hearts"
Kylie Minogue
The glam-rock vibe owes a lot to Goldfrapp, who have yet to write a song this good. Bonus: Minogue's whispery Jessica Rabbit vocals.
95 "Satan Said Dance"
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
This pulsing dance track — which sounds something like ? and the Mysterians trying to cover LCD Soundsystem — offers a lyrical vision of hell as a giant disco.
96 "Big Girls Don't Cry"
Fergie
A modern-day version of "I Will Survive," except with Fergie proving that she too can carry a tune, and making herself sound even more impossibly lovable in the bargain.
97 "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)"
Grinderman
Nick Cave kicks out of the crypt as if he's just had an extremely profane séance with the spirit of James Brown. He turns himself into a goth-blues king bee, buzzing around the hive of some lucky lady and howling for a little interplanetary love action.
98 "Wild Mountain Nation"
Blitzen Trapper
A shambling, hypermelodic jam from Portland, Oregon, indie boys down with Native American culture — and the best Grateful Dead knockoff in forever.
99 "Never Again"
Kelly Clarkson
America's Sweetheart churns out a spookily defiant revenge rocker, spitting bile at a former lover over captivatingly dour and crunchy guitars.
-------------------------
这位美国甜心艰苦的做出了一首怪异反叛复仇摇滚歌手的歌曲，"Never Again"中具有迷惑性的吉他阴沉、咯吱作响，表达了她对前任情人的愤怒。
100 "Rockstar"
Nickelback
you know it's a weird year when one of the best, funniest songs on the radio is by Nickelback, a band previously noted for having no sense of humor at all. But this not-quite-sarcastic anthem is their bid for a star on the Walk of Fame (yes, "between James Dean and Cher"), and they earned it. If Nickelback can sound like rock stars, there's hope for us all.
-------------------------
当电台上播出的一首最好的最有趣的歌曲是出自Nickelback的，你就知道今年是奇怪的一年。这支乐队以根本不具备幽默感而著称。但是这首并不是那么具有讽刺意味的歌曲却是他们对Walk of Fame的承诺，并且他们赢得了它。如果Nickelback可以唱的像摇滚明星，那我们就都有成为摇滚明星的希望了。
那么多，谢谢整理了！
