We're kicking off the New Year with 15 songs you need now. Some of the cuts that made our cut include choice songs from Amy Winehouse, the Affair, and Andrew W.K. A live version of Ted Leo + Pharmacists' "Some Beginner's Mind" and a live acoustic rendition of the Cardigans' "I Need Some Fine Wine" nabbed a coveted slot on our list, as did a soaring track from Annie Stela, a jangly one from Hockey Night, and a furious one from LCD Soundsystem.
