Listmania 2007 - Part 1

Well, it's nearing the end of another year.. You know what that means...

Best of Lists! From EVERYWHERE.

Here's some highlights so far.

Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of 2007

#1. Jay-Z - "Roc Boys"

Really? Has anyone even HEARD of this song?


#2. Randy Newman - "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country"

Uh. Ok. I understand it's Randy Newman, and It's very political. But seriously..


#3. Rihanna - "Umbrella"

We will be so happy when this song finally goes away.


#4. Justice - "D.A.N.C.E"

Love the video, hate the song.


#5 Bright Eyes - "Four Winds"

We here at Inane Static aren't huge fans of Bright Eyes, but we respect the hell out of Conor Oberst. The video is engrossing as well.
