So Sigur Ros made the upbeat mix, and there wasn't really debatable. It's not even the most chipper song on the album. There are always great songs on EPs, singles, and otherwise awful albums that are pretty great. This year, 16 of the 42 songs are from artists who aren't on the albums list. Even Conor Oberst, who had never written a song worth anything, suddenly has a pretty good song closing out his new record.
