The '59 Sound by the Gaslight Anthem
This was a good, but weird year in music. Like a sports draft of any sort, this year in music was very tier based. And right now we're still in a weaker tier... but by the end of this we're going to get to some kick ass songs.
This isn't to slam the Gaslight Anthem. These guys aren't bad. Since they're form Jersey I have to mention that they sort of sound like Bruce and they have a rougher edge to them. But is there anything about this song that makes anyone shout out and go, "hell yeah!"? It's got a nice intro and the hook isn't bad. But shouldn't I have just put another Vampire Weekend or even a Coldplay song on this list twice over these guys? But rules are rules (I only do one song per band), and sadly I think this is another song that will be forgotten in two or three years time, like The Cold War Kids or Band of Horses.
