It's that time of year again when we get to count down the best musical content of the past twelve months! 2012 offered many video goodies from new artists like PSY to established singers like Taylor Swift; from colorful creatures like Nicki Minaj to the demure songstress Lana Del Rey. Below, the top ten songs of the year that not only rocked but had outstanding visual merit to boot!
10.) Matt & Kim - Let's Go
Matt & Kim upped the nostalgia factor on the second version of their video for the single "Let's Go" (the first version was a viral vid featuring basketball trick-dribble virtuoso Pat The Roc). The duo incorporated a crushing 80's style Sears family portrait studio with an assortment of characters -- including the band members themselves!
9.) Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch - Sweet Nothing
Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine stars in this video from electro-pop star Calvin Harris. She rocks a pompadour and tailor-made tuxedo while performing at the Working Men's Club located in Dalston, London. Not surprisingly, clothes fly off and the action intensifies as a second storyline emerges that eventually includes our heroine!
8.) Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire
Check out this scorching video by Alicia Keys -- fourteen-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer. The girl can do no wrong!
