My Top Favorite Songs

As you are all aware our current assignment is to post our 10 favorite songs on our blogs, so like everyone reading I will be posting my 10 favorite songs right here on my blog. A little side note before I start is that these are just 10 favorite songs of mine, not ALL my favorite songs. There are many more songs I wish I could've posted, but alas only 10 can be chosen and these are the 10 I chose....oh well. Lets begin:

1. The White Stripes - Blue Orchid:

Lets just say this is what modern classic rock sounds like to me. This song represents the change of rock from the 1950's to 70's and 2000's and is a kick ass song.

2. mewithoutYou - Nice and Blue pt. 2:

This band is probably my favorite modern band. This style of music is a progressive rock with spoken lyrics. The lyrics are what really make the song unique. Its a very poetic sound and has a very emotional sound to it. Few bands put spoken lyrics into practice.

3. Thrice - Daedulas:

This song is from a four part compilation of CDs, all of which are sung from all the different view points of the different elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. This song happens to be on the album called Air and is a very emotional song about a father losing a son. The voice of the singer is strong and the melodious music really draws you into it.

4. Daft Punk - Aerodynamic:

No top ten music list would be complete without that little bit of techno or electronica that everybody likes. Mine happens to be from a group known as Daft Punk. This song is one of the coolest sounding songs out there. Daft Punk uses synths tied in with their guitars to make one of the coolest sounding solos i have heard in a while, taking that Peter Frampton effect to the next level...

5. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son:

This song is one of the few songs that I would like to say that I found on my own. Though my father introduced me to classic rock, It was me who one day going through old CDs stumbled upon the Greatest Hits of Kansas. Ever since I have been hooked and I would like to think that I try to live my life to that phrase: "Carry On My Wayward Son!!!!"

6. Heart - Crazy On You:

Ah Heart. This was one of the first songs I heard that had a lead female vocalist. It really set the tone for women in bands and really shows that not all women have to sing all lovey-dovey, soft and cute. They can be in a rock band and have damn good songs. Not to mention this song just sounds amazing.

7. Journey - Wheel In the Sky:

Quite frankly this song is just the best song ever to sing to while driving.

8. The Who - Pinball Wizard:

This song happens to be a part of the best rock opera of all time. The story is amazing and this is the rock opera that got me into sweet rock operas.

9. Rush - The Trees:

Rush was one of the first bands my dad introduced me to when I was young, so naturally it would be on my top ten list. Rush was the band that really showed me how amazing a good story tied into a song becomes an awesome experience. The story about the trees having a revolution is extremely clever and really cool.

10. Led Zeppelin - Kashmir:

Last but certainly not least, the first band I was introduced to when I was young... Led Zeppelin!! This was the first song that I ever heard (or at least remember ever hearing) and it shaped the music I like and listen to today! Also this song sounds like awesome walking tought theme music. Just try it, I guarantee you will like it.
