Best of the memes, summer 2012!
On another thought, I've also realized that there are a lot of awesome songs out there that may not be well known. So, just in case anyone's like me and always on the look out (listen out?) for new music, I've compiled my favourite songs from the past two memes that got no or only one correct guess, for your listening pleasure. :)
"Black Sheep" by Gin Wigmore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSRXsYsqM4o
(For people who like Adele or Amy Winehouse, although her voice is a lot rougher)
"The Cave" by Mumford and Sons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgDNCmGr-Q4
(For people who like folk-banjo-rock. No, really.)
"Dust Bowl Dance" by Mumford and Sons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2e8-ZmtU7c
(For people who need more Mumford and Sons after listening to the last one)
"Come Together" Cover by Joe Cocker (Eir knows me too well): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxRHGMi7MnQ

"Lose Your Soul" by Dead Man's Bones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEkboR86h0
(For fans of "Cry Little Sister" from the Lost Boys OST. Yes, I know that's specific.)
"Ghosting" by Mother Mother: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oIM3E6LyGQ

"Departing Song" by the Rankins: (EDIT: could not find! Alas!)
