Comedian and State of the Art host Ryan Drake shares his 10 favorite songs of 2015:
10. Beach Slang - "Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas"
There was like a week in September where this was only thing I listened to. The best song by what will probably be my favorite band of 2016.

9. Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment ft. Chance The Rapper - "Sunday Candy"
The first time I heard this song I legitimately thought "I am so happy to be a part of this generation."

8. Ellie Goulding - "Love Me Like You Do"
I DARE YOU TO NOT SING ALONG WITH THIS AT THE DROP.

7. Post Malone - "White Iverson"
RIYL songs that sound like we were recorded underwater, Alien from "Spring Breakers."

3. Phoebe Ryan - "Ignition/Do You"
INFECTIOUS. A perfect cover/mashup of two songs that have no business being blended.

2. Kendrick Lamar - "Alright"
Perfectly placed in the middle of the best album of the year. A song that's too dense for me to fully understand it, but it was my most played song of 2015.

1. FIDLAR - "West Coast"
The jammiest summer jam that summer has ever jammed.
