#11 Elbow - "New York Morning"

Elbow has been a favorite band of mine for a long time, and a band I somehow managed to never see for over 10 years of being a fan. That all changed in 2014 at the 930 Club as I watched them put on a show that was almost worth such a long wait. Their 2014 album "The Take Off and Landing Of Everything" is one of their best, and like the last recently played New Pornographers, they appear to be at the top of their game.

Historically, believe it or not, Elbow only has 5 previous Top 100 year end songs in the past, reaching number 22 in 2009 with "One Day Like This".  This year they almost cracked the Top 10 with "New York Morning" which is probably the best "NYC" song ever written by a band from the UK. 

Also, watch this video, its actually quite a touching mini-documentary of an old couple who grew up in the heydey of NYC rock and roll. It's pretty awesome!

The Top 10 is tomorrow all day long with songs from Spoon, Sylvan Esso, FKA Twigs and the band from Baltimore who nearly topped every single damn year end list I have seen in 2014! Oh yeah, and the number 1 song of the year!!!
