Top Five Listens

Here we are early into 2011 and I figured I'd write about my top five songs of 2010.

Although it's a little different. It's not the top five songs that came out in 2010 that I liked, but, it's the top five most listened to songs on my ipod according to itunes. So let's get it started.

5. Turbonegro - F**k The World

This is just a straight up bad ass rock song. I love Turbonegros faster songs but they nailed it with this one. My favorite line, "I've got razorblade lips, I'm gonna kiss some wrists." Easily one of the best songs from one of the best Rock groups out there.








4. Muse - Uprising

Catchy, different, amazing. What more can I say? I was honestly surprised it wasn't one of the top two




3. Spinnerette - Baptized by Fire

I love, love LOVE Brody Dalle. Mmmm. Plus her music is rockin' too. I got into a conversation about her with the lovely Floyd Blaikie and she told me about Spinnerette, and I will always be in debt to her for that. The band is a little less punchy than The Distillers, but just as great. I justg (obviously) could not get enough of this specific track. I wonder if she'd leave Josh Homme for me?




2. Against Me - Stop!

Not only does this band rock, and have become one of my new absolute favorites, but you can tell they enjoy what they do and have fun while writing songs with some serious meaning. This one you can't help but tap your foot or move your head or something. It'll get stuck in your head...go ahead..listen and try to forget it right after, I dare you.





And now, the song I listened to most in 2010..,,

1. Eminem - Not Afraid

This one surprised me as a rock music fan. However when I first heard this I was just amazed at the honesty and maturity in Eminems lyrics. Also, being someone who has gone through a downward spiral for a bit in my life and has come back from it, I could relate to a lot of it. That's what a great song is, something that feels like it's speaking right to you and you understand. Not a synth beat, auto tune and repeating Baby, baby, baby over and over again.






And that's the way it is.

Until next time, keep it rockin'.
