From DJ Darren Snow:

On this list: Two bands I thought would never make a record again (both breaking silences of around 30 years), one band I thought would never make a record I liked (I used to call them “Wilson Phillips for hipsters”), and one band that has routinely topped the charts but somehow made a record that apparently nobody liked but me. Song of the Year, and I mean very specifically THIS particular stupid year: Billy Bragg’s beautiful but hopefully-soon-to-be-hopelessly-dated “Can’t Be There Today.”
