This weeks Top 10 is going to hit a little closer to home. My Top 10 songs. personal, Top 10. Well, ok, i can do way more then 10 but this is a good start anyways. As usual, I'm going to give you all the information in as little time as possible, and I hope you enjoy. Don't forget to check out last weeks list Top 10 Pre-Party Songs
10. Dope - 'Sing' (Group Therapy Album)
Starting off the list is thins fantastic song by Dope. It has a beautiful feel and message to it. Sometimes, you gotta just sing. For whatever reason, sing just to let it all go. I can relate to this. Also helps cheer me up when I get down some.
9. Fair To Midland - 'Amarillo Sleeps on my Pillow' (Arrows & Anchors Album)
Fair To Midland is a band that blows me away. Every aspect of this band is amazing. The range of the vocals are ridiculous. this was the first released song from Arrows & Anchors and they teased it out early. I listened, I heard and I fell in love. Didn't even breath until the song ended. Love it.
8. Black Eyed Peas Feat. Papa Roach - 'Anxiety' (Elephunk Album)
One of those songs I came across back in the day during my teenage angst days where I needed something to help pull me through and this song had a little something in it that reminded me what it means to fight. Why you should never back down.
7. All That Remains - 'Faithless' (For We Are Many Album)
If you don't like this song, then you hate music. There. I said it. Booya. Just listen and feel the lyrics, it's one of those songs that resonates through your bones. Such an awesome song.
6. Times of Grace - 'Forgotten One' (The Hymn of a Broken Man Album)
OK, the opening riff I love, I mean, it sounds amazing and kinda reminds me of the opening to Firefly TV series, which, I absolutely love. then you get into the song and magically you are transformed into it. If you cannot relate to this song, or have a moment in your life where it's true, then I'm fairly sure you are an alien. Or a robot.
5. Demon Hunter - 'One Thousand Apologies' (The Triptych Album)
Another one like 'Forgotten One'. This song just reminds me of so many times in my life. Thinking back, I'm positive it's songs like this that helped em through my most difficult days. Must have song, by a must have band.
4. Taproot - 'Poem' (Welcome Album)
3. Bobby Gaylor - 'Suicide' (Fuzzationic Scream)
At the lowest point on my life this song broke me down. Something about Bobby's way of talking,h is words, his ideas and thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks and my life seemed a little brighter. things made a little more sense. Of course, i'm also a wuss but yea. One of the greatest songs I know.
2. Dust Brothers - 'This is Your Life' (Fight Club Soundtrack)
Around the same time as the last song there was this one. Given, it's really only taking quotes from the movie, but the messages of that movie, short of when Tyler goes a little too far, holds true. You can't let the things you own in life, own you. You are not the things you own, you are not your wallet, you are not you effin khakis.
1. Tool - 'Parabola' (Lateralus Album)
The number one spot, goes to the number one song. So much has happened around this song, so many memories good and bad. This one is shared by my long time friend Cindy. This is her song. her struggles and her will to move on, to succeed and to stay positive. Greatest song by the greatest band.
So there we have it. A beautiful list. I like this one. Anyways, stay tuned for more great lists and stuff, hopefully a new band profile coming up soon, don't forget to check out my profile on Katie Rox she is doing an amazing fundraiser and there is still time to help out!
Happy hunting,
