Four

#4: I Am The Supercargo by The Drones

Okay teeechnically this is a 2008 song, but.. it was only released in Australia that year and was released everywhere else in 2009! I had a good reason to circumvent my countdown rule though. When i looked at my list, i realised there weren't any epic, rocking moments on it.

I Am The Supercargo was what this list needed. It sums up everything i love about The Drones: that riff, the screeching feedback, that monster breakdown, Gareth Liddiard's crazed delivery. But most of all, it is Liddiard's lyrics; words that carry as much weight as any modern poet's.
