Bruce Springsteen,
Ghosts
With an opening blast of guitar and Springsteen's grated voice reminding us with unfettered boldness on the chorus,"I'm alive," this is a stack of E Street Band comfort and nostalgia in a year when it was needed most. "Count the band in and then kick into overdrive...by the end of the set, we leave no one alive" – the Springsteen creed in action.
Run The Jewels,
Ooh La La
Killer Mike and El-P spout penetrating lyrics about class divisions and capitalism while the spongy beat propels their sardonic words. And isn't it time a current song name-dropped Ol' Dirty Bastard and Jeru the Damaja?
