Dua Lipa - These Walls
It’s not supposed to hurt this much
If these walls could talk
They'd tell us to break up

The Cliffords - Sleeping With Ghosts
Five piece Alt Rock band from Cork, Ireland, that reminds me vaguely of either The Motels and/or The Pretenders.

It is to see they are not broken or cracked, which can't be determined until the carton is opened and looked at (providing it is not clear like Eggland's Best, which is what I buy).
Taylor Swift becomes the first artist in history to occupy the entire Top 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It gets better, they beat out Metallica, AC/DC and Jane's Addiction.
How did that happen? Well, the category that year was actually Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental, (they later split it into two categories, Hard Rock and Metal).
I think they won for two reasons, 1)...
I would say too progressive and/or too eclectic. They are definitely an acquired taste. I am still amazed that a band fronted by a flute player could have been that successful in the 70s.

Jordan Dean - The Way The World Is
A fun jangly bop with a killer bass line from this Cleveland OH indie rocker.
Power Pop with a Garage Rock sensibility.

Funky and really ahead of its time.
Here is a remix that reimagines the song by incorporating the 80s soul/funk sensibility of Prince and others that didn't really exist in 1974.
Stevie Wonder - Boogie On Reggae Woman 1974 (Luke the Knife Re-Rub)

The Strifes - Sun Is Up
Southampton UK Indie Rock band with a straight-ahead guitar banger.
Edited to say, I have received some comments from friends that this has an Arctic Monkeys vibe.

So come on, come on, dark star
Been loving you and I can't get enough, dark star
We don't need Brazzers
Feel the world around you
Feel the world surround you
Feel the world around you
Feel it all around you crash

Not for Love Hurts, it wasn't, as they did not write the song, that was penned by Boudleaux Bryant, so they didn't get a penny from Nazareth's version
The song had been written by Bryant for them and they recorded it, but per Wiki:

The Silver Spurs - Could've Had It All
Australian Indie Rock, Funk Rock band but sounding here like something out of a Morricone Spaghetti Western or maybe what might be found on a Tarantino film soundtrack.
