This Slackday post has actually caused me to do a lot of mental work. One of NTSIB’s twitter followers, @DtotheChan, asked me a seemingly innocent and simple question the other day: “top 5 black keys songs?”<\/p>\n
My brain almost melted out of my ears.<\/p>\n
There aren’t many bands I can point to and say, “I can’t pick a favorite song”, but with the Black Keys, I really can’t pick a favorite song. They have produced so much consistently good music, that no one song stands out more than any other to me. And now that I’ve gotten a good listen (several good listens) to Brothers<\/i>, it’s impossible to quantify. <\/p>\n
But here: I’ve done my best. I’ve chosen songs that make me feel something a little deeper than “Damn, that’s a kickass song!” (And I’ve excluded Brothers<\/i> all together because I can’t even cope with that one yet – every time I listen to it, a new song sneaks up and smacks me in the face with its gem-like quality.) In no particular order…<\/p>\n
