"Top 4 TV On The Radio Songs"

(FOUR) GOLDEN AGE
This song is VERY underrated. It’s one of the most danceable tracks of all of TV on the Radio’s catalog. I think it’s the best track on Dear Science, which says a lot on a very solid album. It has a definite old school funk rock vibe to it that does Bowie and Prince lovers justice alike. Seriously, listen to this song and tell you you’re not surprised it came out in 2008. It’s good shit.


(THREE) WOLF LIKE ME
The video to this song is probably the best of the bunch but that’s not saying the song isn’t amazing as well. I love the crones at the start, I love the way the vocals are delivered, I love the grittier and dirtier rock melody, and the break down is pure magic. For a lot of folk, this song is what got them into the band. Rightfully so, it’s a great track.


(TWO) PROVINCE
David Bowie does BACK UP vocals on this track. I know he’s done it before with other younger acts, but I think it’s safe to say this is his best support work in recent memory. As much as I’d love to hear a new Bowie album, this is cool stuff. The song is very laid back and mellow. Tunde’s vocals meshed with the smoothness of Bowie makes for a sweet lullaby.


(ONE) STARING AT THE SUN
I could listen to this song over and over again for days. I believe I’ve done just that on a few occasions. It’s an addicting song. The vocals are amazing, the melody and guitars penetrate the ears and soul, and the lyrics are top notch. I know this was the band’s first big single, but it’s still as amazing as it was in 2004 when it came out. This isn’t a band that’s going to be known for one single song, but if they had to be this would be THAT song. Do yourself a favor and check out this song on Youtube, itunes, or in your own collection ASAP. Songs like this don’t come around very often. Take advantage.
