Top 50 Songs of the Decade, #8 - "Lightning Bolt," Jake Bugg

For me, this song's life began with a Gatorade commercial.  This one was on HEAVY rotation when it first came out; you could not watch a sporting event without seeing it multiple times.  After several times wondering "WHAT IS THAT SONG?," I finally Googled "Gatorade commerical lightning bolt" (it seemed likely that was the song's name), and lo and behold, this popped up:



It's one of those songs that can easily be described as "timeless," because there probably isn't an era since rock 'n roll began that it wouldn't fit, and wouldn't sound great.  It's also a classic driving song, one of those that just screams to be turned up as high as the dial (and the eardrums) will allow.
