Going with the Castles/Cure dream-team electro-ballad, always have a soft spot for CC, while I didn't know Jon Spencer was still making music into the 2010s and this is... okay? I guess. But no contest.

Not my favorite song by CC, but it better exemplifies the 10's better than the admittedly fun house party blues of Jon Spencer.

This is going to sound cheesy, but that punchy track of Crystal Castles x Robert Smith covering Platinum Blonde changed a lot about how I thought about music. Given it was nearly 10 years ago now, and maybe I wasn't as correct as I thought I'd be, it felt like this obvious key to where music would be headed (along with MPP). I've listened to that track a lot, to the point I near studied it 🤣 . I've even stockpiled a handful of personal production queues based on it. I think it's brilliant. And I don't think many artists have done that style anywhere near the justice Crystal Castles did in their early years.

Sorry Jon.

Don't particularly love either track. Voted for Crystal Castles & Robert Smith.

This was a harder choice than I expected given the comments - the Jon Spencer song is a lot of fun. Went with Crystal Castles though.

That's awesome. I can definitely see how it could be that kind of track.
