Top Songs of 2016: 81-100





100. “Prophets of Rage” 
Prophets of Rage 
(The Party’s Over EP)

This project was a concert idea first, song second (the intro to the Pitchfork review -- brutal) but Chuck D is still the greatest voice in rap's history

99. “Truth” 
Pip Bloom 


98. “Hype” 
Dizzee Rascal ft. Calvin Harris

It's no "Dance Wiv Me" but it will do  


97. “Valley Clouds” 
Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop 
(Love Letter for Fire)


96. “Monopoly” 
EASYFUN ft. Noonie Bao 
(PC Music Vol. 2)

Use in moderation


95. “Eva” 
Haerts 
(Power/Land EP)


94. “White Flag” 
Joseph 
(I’m Alone, No You’re Not)

Wonderful song, and their father can get you a good price on space and power in the Pacific Northwest


93. “Dollar Bill” 
Phoebe Ryan ft. Kid Ink 


92. “Dis Generation” 
A Tribe Called Quest 
(We Got It From Here… Thank You For Your Service)

We like the first 2:20 of "The Donald" better, but then it goes on for another three minutes


91. “Troublemaker Doppelgänger”
Lucy Dacus 
(No Burden)


90. “You Don’t Think You Like People Like Me” 
Alex Lahey 
(B-Grade University)



89. “Time of the Blue” 
The Tallest Man on Earth

7th appearance on these lists



88. “Radio” 
Sylvan Esso



87. “Hypno-Skate” 
LNZNDRF 
(LNZNDRF)

Members of Beirut and The National, sounding nothing like either band


86. “Garden” 
Hinds 
(Leave Me Alone)


85. “Can We Work It Out” 
Gordi 
(Clever Disguise EP)


84. “Shelter” 
Porter Robinson & Madeon


83. “Walks All Over You” 
Catey Shaw


82. “Out the Bottle” 
Kamaiyah 
(A Good Night in the Ghetto)


81. “Fugue State” 
Eluvium 
False Readings On

Reminiscent of "The Big Ship", maybe our favorite song of this (or any) type -- and Hollywood's new favorite song to die to
