73 "100 Days, 100 Nights"
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

Dark, soaring horn-fueled R&B from a fifty-one-year-old diva and the Brooklyn band that helped shore up Amy Winehouse's soul.

74 "Comfy in Nautica"
Panda Bear

If those early-1970s Beach Boys records rock a little too hard for you, try this fluffy Gregorian chant that sums up the Animal Collective's state of mind: "Try to remember always/Always to have a good time."

75 "Phantom Limb"
The Shins

Reads like a Vicodin-addled daydream and sounds like a lost psych-pop masterpiece — proof James Mercer has melodic gifts like LeBron has leaping ability.

76 "Go Getta"
Young Jeezy

The Tony Robbins of the hustling set delivers an inspirational get-rich-now message over a dense, stomping electro beat and R. Kelly's sharp chorus.
