I enjoyed this list, despite being a Hold Steady, Arctic Monkeys AND Joanna Newsom fan, hahaha. And that Cold War Kids song is GREAT! It's soooo Lennon though, has anyone noticed that?? Keep up the good work. Hey there! I enjoyed this list, despite being a Hold Steady, Arctic Monkeys AND Joanna Newsom fan, hahaha.
