1 | U2 — "Moment of Surrender"

2 | Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys — "Empire State of Mind"

3 | Bruce Springsteen — "Outlaw Pete"

4 | Miley Cyrus — "Party in the USA"

5 | Phoenix — "1901"

Phoenix, you may know as "That dance song from the Cadilliac commericals." It is an ok song, but people are fucking losing their minds for this group. But let's take a look at number four....Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus is number four on the list for Rolling Stone.

I would have put Party in the USA as the fourth WORST song released this year. It isn't even the best song she has done (I think The Climb, might be the only tolerable one.) Rolling Stone has solidified their place right next to the Grammy's for musical taste/quality. I may have let them slide for putting The Jonas Brothers on the cover to try and sell magazines. I may have forgiven them for making a complete mockery out of the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame (ABBA is in, but Cheap Trick is out). But placing Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA at the year's best is inexcusable.

U2 had a shit album too, one we recommended you stay away from. Moment of Surrender is on that album and it is a bad tune. But if the song was released by U2 before the Joshua Tree, it might be ok. But when compared to the back catalog of U2, it doesn't work.

Empire State of Mind is an OK song, but it became played out and overused because the Exxon of Baseball used it as their victory song toward the World Series. I don't really have much to say about it because I don't actively listen to rap/hip hop. It certainly wasn't the year's worst song.

The whole list had some good songs on it and I don't dispute their rankings, but I can't take the list serious because Miley Cyrus is on the list of "Year's Best."
