KNOCKOUT: THE TOP 20 TRACKS OF 2011

#9 Lonely Boy - The Black Keys

So El Camino was leaked, even though The Keys said they wouldn’t release it on any streaming services,etc. You know what? The album itself is fantastic but even before it leaked we got treated to the opening track and Lonely Boy is one HELL of an opening track, featuring the more prominent synth and organ sounds first dropped in Brothers but with a new gritty mashed up sound that rocks the fuck out. Fantastic.
