Count Five: TV on the Radio's Top Pop Songs

TV on the Radio are best known for their seamless fusion of doo-wop, post-punk, jazz and beyond. With their psychedelic videos and collaborations with Antibalas, Celebration and David Bowie, it's not all that apparent that the Brooklyn-based experimental art-rock quintet would have a soft spot for the good ol' pop music. Drummer Jaleel Bunton and vocalist Kyp Malone break down their current favorites for Spinner.

1. Usher, 'Caught Up': If this song doesn't make you want to dance, then you should probably just continue pulling the wings off butterflies with your pal Darth Vader. --Jaleel Bunton

2 . Amy Winehouse, 'He Can Only Hold Her': This my favorite Amy Winehouse song. Somehow it's just perfect. You can dance to it, you can cry to it, and you can sing along to it. --JB

3. Andre 3000, 'She Lives in My Lap': '
Hey Ya' was great, but it doesn't last. This song does, and will. --Kyp Malone

4. Rihanna, 'Umbrella': I can hear a friend speaking reassuringly about protecting another friend from something completely out of either of their control. A nice sentiment. --JB

5. Beyoncé, 'Crazy in Love': It got my heart going even before i saw the video. The horns make it. --JB
