Here are the tracks I've been going back to over and over again in the last year or so.
Death From Above 1979 - Caught Up: In an age where one could easily come to the conclusion that rock is dead, or at least highly watered down, this song demonstrates real rock is still being produced.
Father John Misty - Mr. Tillman: Great instrumentation, great vocals and wonderfully strange lyrics.
Josh Turner - Me and God: OK, this one goes back further than a year, but it's worth inclusion for its wonderful lyrics that really minister to me.
Luke Nicholson - All Your Dresses: Another one more than a year old, but has evocative lyrics that present a view of life not often sung about in today's popular music.
Queens Of The Stone Age - Feet Don't Fail Me: Another one from last summer that demonstrates bands can still make real rock is they want to.
Primus - Pudding Time: Primus has its detractors, but this song kicks butt.
Steely Dan - Janie Runaway: It was surely a sign of the approaching end of the world the day I liked a Steely Dan song, but this track gives the listener a real sense of place. The music isn't bad, either.
Sexwitch - Ha Howa Ha Howa: The almost mystical quality of the music and the singing and the comparatively innocent lyrics makes this song a winner..
