Aidin Vaziri of the SF Chronicle is the best music writer this side of Jack Briggs
He makes bands I don't even like seem interesting.
Here are his top 10 with his comments. I don't know most but I want to now!
-- "Move Your Feet": Junior Senior Disco + garage rock + digital squirrels = best song EVER.
"Rock Your Body," Justin Timberlake: Just like Michael Jackson. When he still wore sparkly socks.
"I Believe in a Thing Called Love," the Darkness: Spandex? Good. Air guitar? Good. Pyrotechnics? Good. What's not to like?
"Dangerously in Love," Beyonce, featuring Jay-Z: Most of it is on loan from the Chi-Lites, but it still sounds like a wet dream.
"Clocks," Coldplay: Before Chris met Gwyneth, heart still dangling from sleeve.
"Danger! High Voltage," Electric Six: Imagine AC/DC covering the Bee Gees, in a tub filled with Jell-O.
"Hardest Button to Button," The White Stripes: Like getting punched in the head seven times by Jack White.
"So Alive," Ryan Adams: The most ridiculous homage to U2 since the Alarm.
"Pass That Dutch," Missy Elliott: More hair-raising hip-hop lunacy. Which is always appreciated.
"Maps," Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Shouty young Brooklynites caught in a rare pretension-free moment.
