A Random Spattering of Sounds

For now I'm just going to continue the 30-day challenge, which brings me to


Day 14: Your Favorite Song(s).


Now mind you, this selection changes often. I don't pretend to be an expert on music genres (no that's not metal it's GRUNGE), nor am I really picky when it comes to artists. For the most part I judge every song individually, I don't usually like more than a few from any single band. There are exceptions, like Protest The Hero and anything by Jack White.  


Here are the most recent examples worth mentioning:





This one I heard last night, and it caught me off guard with its sheer edginess. Didn't expect that one from the Bravery.
Here's another one I really like by them for reference. (I seriously couldn't decide if I like the Sun or Moon Version better, I recommend checking out both.)



I mentioned liking everything by Jack White, and I mean pretty much everything he's touched. This includes anything by The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, etc. (I'm still trying to decide how I feel about his collaboration with ICP). Of course I've got my favorites; "Icky Thump", "A Martyr For My Love For You", and the cover of "Jolene" are among them. But If Pressed, my ultimate favorite has got to be "Top Yourself". I find it deliciously simple yet the lyrics still haunt me.



Now Gorillaz has been a band I've enjoyed since middle school, and by sheer lasting power alone I have to include "Feel Good Inc.", as this song as spent the longest on my "favorites list".



And then here's something different to top it all off with. It's called "Form" by Hooray For Earth.
Enjoy.
