Best and Worst Songs of #Summer2017

These are the songs that stood out and didn't in MY opinion. If I missed a song on one of the lists feel free to let me know.

Best:

10) Slow Hands  - Niall Horan

9) Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran

8) Thunder - Imagine Dragons - Authentic coming-of-age song amazes and gets people ready for the future.

7) Talking to Myself - Linkin Park - This one's for you, Chester.

6) Small Town Boy - Dustin Lynch

5) Attention - Charlie Puth - Shades of early Maroon 5 and bubbly modern-soul blended into one.

4) I Wish I Knew You - The Revivalists - Reminiscent of "Renegade" by Styx, this bouncy indie-rock hit is more worthy of chart recognition than what it is right now.

3.5) Run - Foo Fighters - "Rock is dead," says Gene Simmons. I say, "Yeah, right."

3) Feels - Calvin Harris/Katy Perry/Pharrell - THIS is a summer waterpark trip theme song at its finest. Reminds me of Black-Eyed Peas' "Let's Get it Started" from 2004.

2) The Fighter - Keith Urban feat. Carrie Underwood

Honorable Mention: "Feels Like Summer" by Weezer, "What Ifs" by Kane Brown feat. Lauren Alaina, "Sweat" by the All-American Rejects, "There's Nothin' Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes

1) Sign of the Times - Harry Styles - Congrats Harry, you are the new king of #Summer2017 hits. Elton + Bowie + Queen + Pink Floyd + Lennon = This masterpiece

Worst:

10) Despacito - Meh, just another one of these songs you hear on a Spanish station.

9) Body Like a Back Road - Sam Hunt (Bro-country version)

8) Strip That Down - Liam Payne - Thinly produced.

7) I'm the One - DJ Khaled

6) Wild Thoughts - Uh...

5) 2U - David Guetta feat. Justin Bieber

4) Fetish - Selena Gomez - No thanks.
