The 100 Best Songs of 2007

93 "Is There a Ghost"
Band of Horses
Southern rock goes shoegazing in this atmospheric jam. There are fewer than fifteen words in the lyrics, but packed into Ben Bridwell's vocals is a whole doctoral thesis on what it means to be bummed out.

94 "2 Hearts"
Kylie Minogue
The glam-rock vibe owes a lot to Goldfrapp, who have yet to write a song this good. Bonus: Minogue's whispery Jessica Rabbit vocals.

95 "Satan Said Dance"
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
This pulsing dance track — which sounds something like ? and the Mysterians trying to cover LCD Soundsystem — offers a lyrical vision of hell as a giant disco.

96 "Big Girls Don't Cry"
Fergie
A modern-day version of "I Will Survive," except with Fergie proving that she too can carry a tune, and making herself sound even more impossibly lovable in the bargain.
