1. “Love With a Motive” - The Audition.
I went and saw All Time Low a couple weeks ago and The Audition were there as a support band. I think I fell in love with the singer, Danny Stevens, the second he stepped on stage and started singing, because holy crap, that boy has stage presense. Not only are they an absolutely fantastic liveband, but they’re even better in studio. I had their record Champion before I saw them and listened a little On-Off to them occasionally, but after that show, they’ve pretty much bumped up to be one of my favorite bands. Favorite song is either “Hell to Sell” or “Los Angeles.” This song is pretty good, too.
2. “Rudebox” - Robbie Williams.
Wow, haha. I actually really like this song. Robbie Williams is pretty cool but I don’t actively listen to him as this is the only song I’ve got on my itunes. It’s a fun song though.3. “Iris” - Goo Goo Dolls.
This song, shit. I actually love the Goo Goo Dolls, not only this song. I’ve got two records, and I think that this has to be one of my favorites by them. It’s so incredibly sad but still beautiful and I tend to like songs like that. Black Balloon by them is pretty too, or Acoustic #3. Big fan of them in general but I was so bummed out when they came to Sweden and had a show where you had to be 18 to be able to go to it… Bleh.
4. “La La Lie” - Jacks Mannequin.I can’t tell you how much I love Jack’s Mannequin. The first record, Everything in Transit, is in my top-three favorite albums of all time. I love the rock mixed with piano and the lyrics that kind of alternate from happy to sad. I am really looking forward to Dear Jack, the dvd with Andrew McMahons story about his cancer. I have to admit that I’m not such a big fan of the second album though, The Glass Passenger. Oh well. Favorite songs are Dark Blue, Rescued or Bruised.
5. “Come Together” - The Beatles.
The Beatles! oh shit, favorite band ever. Well maybe not, but Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is always going to be my favorite record of all time, because it’s pure genious. LSD songs and all. It’s incredible that they’re still so popular with everyone. They deserve it, because, um. They’re awesome. I don’t even know what to say. They’re The Beatles, you know? Everythings already been said. Favorite songs are Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, or Yellow Submarine or When I’m Sixty-Four.
6. “Jumper” - Third Eye Blind.
Wow, this song. The first time I heard it, I was like five or something. We had this cd that was called Totally 90s Hits or something like that, and this song was on that record and I really really loved the simple melody and easy beat. Not until I got around to listening to it again maybe two or three years ago did I realize that it was a song about suicide, and from that, it helped me a lot when I was kind of messed up. Needless to say, this song has made a huge impact on my life. It’s kind of always been there.
