80. “What You Want” – Evanescence
The rest of the album wasn’t so good, but this song is a great example of the band’s melodious nu metal style.
79. “Paris (Ooh La La)” – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Bread-and-butter rock, with some beautiful howling.
78. “G.U.Y.” – Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga in a nutshell: mythology mashed up with gender-bending kink and a left-field Twitter reference.
77. “Wicked Games” – The Weeknd
Alternative R&B with a serpentine malevolence.
76. “Hell of a Life” – Kanye West
Kanye’s dark vision of sex, love and salvation, to the tune of “Iron Man.”
75. “Oh Love” – Green Day
Simple and pure, a (relatively) mature return to form for the band.
74. “Brighter Than the Sun” – Colbie Caillat
Cheery Californian pop about the rapture of young love.
73. “Domino” – Jessie J
Typical love song gibberish, delivered with infectious energy.
72. “Get Lucky” – Daft Punk featuring Pharrell
Communes with the history of dance music over the last four decades. It’s a thing of beauty.
71. “Telephone” – Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé
Speaking of dancing — just leave these ladies alone already. They’re just trying to have a good time in the club.
