354. Gooey by Glass Animals
Year Released: 2014

Nominated by DJ Way of Wes Dissect who says: With its complex sound and ambivalent lyrics, Gooey captures the feelings of youth, temptation, naïvety, and confusion. Listening to this song feels like floating – full volume highly recommended.

358. Airplane by f(x)
Year Released: 2013
Released On: Pink Tape
Nominated by DJ Goldboy of The K-Pop Power Hour who says: An overlooked B-side from one of the most underrated girl groups in K-pop, this is a soaring dance track that was musically ahead of the curve.
359. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
Year Released: 1994
Released On: The Downward Spiral
Nominated by Asher from Middletown who says: A classic. Trent Reznor funnels his pain into lust through one of the less seductive sex songs out there. The lyrics are pleading, yet downtrodden. The real standout of the song is the wild production. Playing of off serious Iggy Pop influences (a la ‘Nightclubbing’), the song straddles the line between industrial rock and deep funk, leaning occasionally into more electronic, house tendencies. This adds up to an incomparable musical experience, just not quite a happy one.
360. Sweet Pear by Elvis Costello
Year Released: 1991
Released On: Mighty Like A Rose
Nominated by Charlie from Petaluma who says: Our wedding song. Perfect love song, then the last line “…I am your stupid lover your wretched groom”.
