68: 2:42
In an article for The Morning News, Joshua Allen did a little "research" to determine that 2 minutes and 42 seconds is the ideal song length. I think he might be right, and here are five songs that clock in at that perfect length.

2. Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better
3. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Criminal Piece
4. Weezer - American Gigolo

63: Dub
Dub evolved out of reggae and is mainly instrumental remixes with additional echo and reverb effects. I don't know why I got so into dub -- maybe because it's kid-friendly music for around the house and easy to work to since they're instrumentals -- but I listened to an awful lot of it last year.

3. Bob Marley - One Dub
4. Soul Syndicate - This Is The Greatest Version
