#4. All My Friends
by LCD Soundsystem

There's a magic to this song that I won't ruin by trying to explain the potion. Suffice it to say that a straightforward repetition of the same guitar, keyboard and bass lines, combined with lyrics about life without regret ("I wouldn't trade one stupid decision/ For another five years of life") and life with all kinds of regrets ("You spend the first five years trying to get with the plan/ and the next five years trying to get with your friends again") pays off with a punch about what we lose as we get older.
