2015 saw the usual array of music. Cool new bands. Good stuff from established acts. The glut of overproduced crap that LA churns out. However: As a man who came of age in the 80s, there was a hands-down-no-hold-barred-Chess-King-parachute-pants-wearing-winner for my favorite song of the year.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Walk the Moon: Shut Up and Dance.
For an 80s guy like me, this song has it all. This video has it all-- the female star (Lauren Taft) is a perfect homage to the "it girl" of my generation ( the beat up sneaks? yep. perfect.) The hook is so good, it almost made me dance without stretching for ten minutes in order to prevent injury. What's your fave song or album this year? Whatcha got? Cheers, Terry
