The best song from the best album of 2009 in my opinion. Zu is just mindblowing, absolutely no contest for #1.

Despite being kpop, this song is still great. Listened to it all summer, it's just so simple, catchy and fun (and no autotune thank god). I wish more kpop songs were like this.

The whole album is great, everyone should listen to it. I think this the first song in history with the "we will rock you" beat that doesn't suck (quite the opposite!).

I really don't know why I like this song, but it's addicting. Very laid back and the guy has such a cool voice.

I wouldn't recommend the whole album, but Shelia and Walkabout are amazing songs. I dig the lo-fi sound of the production.

I recommend the whole album. They have this folky sound even though it's not folk music. Very unique and cool.
