Invincible
OK Go
2005

Oh sure, you know them from their absolutely brilliant music videos.  Like the insane Rube Goldberg one.  The zero gravity one.  The original synchronized treadmill one.  And the absolutely ridiculous SINGLE TAKE choreographed one.

But this is also a band that makes great music, and a lot of fun music. I’ve seen them a couple times live and they’re super fun. Like bringing out a set of handbells to play one of their songs like it was the freaking Primary program (inside LDS reference). They’re probably just the coolest band on this list. 

But I’m going with the lead track off their second album (where they hit the mainstream) that doesn’t have an epic video (although it’s still pretty awesome). This one starts with lead singer Damian Kulash asking his bandmates, “you gentlemen ready?” and then just ripping into the perfect rock song. This one is a repeat player on my running playlists and with an opening line that goes, “when they finally come to destroy the earth, they’ll have to go through you first,” you really do feel invincible. Give this one a listen when you’re ready to conquer the world.
