Well, after searching the forums it seems it is about time for another "favorite song" thread, since the last one was made by me over a year ago. As we all know music taste can change, new songs come out, you find new bands, etc, so I figured it was alright to post another one of these (please don't kill me if I'm wrong
).
Most of my favorite songs are a variation of rock (other than classic), such as pop-rock, alt-rock, punk-rock, acoustic rock etc.
I linked to what I thought was the best part of the song on youtube since people are (hopefully) likely more willing to listen to a 10-20 second clip than a 3-4 minute song, if anyone wants to do that just add this to the end of the URL:
#t=1m05s (filling in whatever in place of 1 for minute and 05 for seconds to start at)
So, here goes, post as many as you want I will start us off with my top 30, you should be able to listen to 10-20 seconds of each and get the gist of the tune/style or recognize if you know it:
1. Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol (Whole song is amazing and beautiful)
2. You Could Be Happy – Snow Patrol (Nice and simple chimes and rythm, has something about it just makes me happy)
3. Shadow of the Day – Linkin Park (Great LP song, as with many of theirs, unique but at the same time familiar)
4. What I’ve Done – Linkin Park (Just something about LP songs that I love, great voices, cool instruments, good for videos)
5. In the End – Linkin Park (One of the few songs with elements of rap I like)
6. Brightly Wound – Eisley (Could be considered "girly" but I think their voices weave together beautifully in this part, and beautiful voices)
7. Give Me Your Eyes – Brandon Heath (Catchy and "fluid")
8. Numb – Linkin Park (Cool intro and great song overall)
9. All at Once – The Fray (Not as popular as some of their others, but great chorus I think)
10. Apologize – OneRepublic (Can't decide if I like Timbaland or original better)
11. Broken – Lifehouse (This has a good music video to go with it, also has the classic great Lifehouse sound)
12. Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Green Day (Emo, but catchy song)
13. Lost – Coldplay (Fun music video and intro to the song is awesome, looks like they'd be a great band to see in concert from that video)
14. Viva la Vida – Coldplay (Another great intro and great song by Coldplay)
15. Wordplay – Jason Mraz (Good at singing fast and making it sound catchy and rythmic)
16. Until the End – Breaking Benjamin (Good "war" song, to go with music vids and such, seems like most of BB's are good for that, get you pumped up)
17. Iris – Goo Goo Dolls (classic good one)
18. Wake Me Up When September Ends – Green Day (Shows Green Day can do slow and simple)
19. Comes and Goes (In Waves) – Greg Laswell (Interesting but cool sound to his voice)
20. Cinderella – Steven Curtis Chapman (Another song could be considered "girly" but the lyrics and tune are very nice and "pretty" (can't think of a better word))
21. Never Know – Jack Johnson (Good at being simple and smooth, basically voice and guitar)
22. How to Save a Life – The Fray (Their most popular, defined their style)
23. New Deep – John Mayer (Cool intro makes this on my top 30)
24. California – Hawk Nelson (Older but still catchy and fun)
25. All Around Me – Flyleaf (Girl lead singer on a rock band has a cool sound I think)
26. Your Body is a Wonderland – John Mayer (Awesome, smooth voice and fun lyrics)
27. Rain – Breaking Benjamin (Slow for BB, unique sound)
28. You and Me – Lifehouse (Older song but still good and defined them, like How To Save a Life defined The Fray)
29. Bubbly – Colbie Caillat (Another "girly" but it's "cute")
30. Be My Escape – Relient K(Great intro and fun song all the way through)
