Terra Naomi - Say It's Possible (2007)

A 20 something folksy rocker this is her first song to make it to Yahoo and she has an upcoming album due out on the September 17th. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it on Yahoo. I don't know that I'm going to be remembering this song years from now, but it's a good song with a good hook.
The Brunettes - If You Were an Alien (Structure & Cosmetics [2007])

A great, breezy pop tune. I really enjoy the song it's a classic indie pop tune fun and quirky. The rest of the album for me was not so enjoyable. A bit too experimental and uninteresting.
Boogie Down Productions - My Philosophy (By All Means Necessary [1988])
allmusic
One of the best opening songs in album history, this song opens a brilliant album and creates the frame for the political and social commentary to come. On its own its a great song with a good hook and a complex yet simplistic layered sound.
Kanye West - Flashing Lights (Graduation [2007])

Continuing on with the hip-hop sound, a track off of the new Kanye West album. This song has a great beat and has a depth and elegance to it that Justin Timberlake seems to be missing with his dance pop music. If you haven't checked out the album it's worth giving a listen.
