The 100 Best Songs of 2007

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.
