Day Five or something. Already lost track. But ha, when do you people care about dates and stuff, right?
Right?
Onto the music!
Number Five
Cold as Ice by Foreigner
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_1XdSqBQUg
In the live version (Which is on my iPod. Youtubing the live version was sadly dissatisfying.) it starts out, "I believe I need a little something...cold as ice." There's just something about that line I really like. I dunno. I'm weird like that. But this song is one of those I tend to start my playlist off with, just because it's a real good song to start my morning off with. Fun to hum along with. Even if I get weird looks.
Number Four
My Last Breath by Evanescence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7LexNBv0mI
Another awesome song to hum along with. I've always liked Evanescence (Can't spell it.) It's one of those bands I remember from my childhood, (Even if I'm still young. Details, details.) that I loved to sing along too. My only huge issues was an inability to pronounce it.
I said Ev-ne-nen-sence a few times, evan-nen-sence as well. Eventually I caught on. This is my favorite of their songs, as anyways. Just fun to sing along with, when I'm chilling in my room where no one can give me weird looks. Silly people.
Number Three
Don't Let's Start by They Might Be Giants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvOVMxOTwqw
Guys.
Let's be honest. I think They Might Be Giants is amazing, alright? It seems no one these days knows of them (At least people I talk too. Well, one of my friends does. One. D:) and that makes me sad. Their music is quirky and yet, at times, deadly serious as well. And they have some songs where I question their sanity (Try Stick Your Hand Inside the Puppet Hand), and some songs where I think they just were making stuff up (Boat of Car.)
This is one of those odd, yet serious at points. I quote part of it:
"No one in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop"
Yeah.
Number Two
What About Everything? by Carbon Leaf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClW15gRkuoE
Putting aside the distressing fact some Doctor Who fans used this song to their advantage, this one makes number two just because, well hey. What about it? It's one of those songs that everyone should take when they have a bad day and go, "Screw it. Least I'm alive, right?" Carbon Leaf is an amazing band, if you ask me. This is one of their slower songs, but Life Less Ordinary (Which was also a choice for number two.) is one of their faster but still just as awesome song. This song really just brightens my day when I feel blargh.
And in first place, my favorite song ever:
Number One
Familiar Taste of Poison by Halestorm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZKPYQnsmc
Man.
I love this song, guys. If my iPod ever plays it before I'm ready, I will switch to a new song and re-do my random list, just so I can listen to it when I'm in the mood. And when I do listen, I play it over and over several times before I finally allow my iPod to continue its shuffling.
I first heard it, picked up the lyrics, and found myself singing along. Went with it, and really enjoyed the song. Then more Halestorm was played, and well, rest is history. I really like Halestorm. Favorite band as it stands.
So there you have. My Top Ten favorite songs.
Runner Ups:
Sadly, I only have ten slots, and well...I had to pick and choose a lot. So these guys, while not on the ten, are still amazing bands and songs that I love. Check them out too, if you'd like.
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Tainted Love by Soft Cell
Half Truism by the Offspring
All That We Needed by Plain White T's
The Best is Yet to Come by SR-71
Tail of the Sun by Stroke 9
Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult
Alright then.

Azu's Top Ten List of Songs (Part One.)
Day Four.
Anyways, there's a varied amount of music I like, but these ten songs are probably the ones that just make my day whenever I listen to them. Look 'em up, maybe you'll like them and then we can do...I dunno, things and talk about music. Whatever.
Number Ten
The Final Countdown--Europe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt_ro2aerQg
Do do do, do do dooo.
Oh yes. You know this.
Do do do do. Do do do do do dooo.
Yes! This song makes number ten, if only because come on. This one song is the song you CAN NOT properly sing to, unless you do the whole scat singy beginning part. It's just not the same either wise. Seriously. If you fail to do that part, you're just not getting the full effect. If you don't do it, try it next time. If you do, high five.
Number Nine
Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ryNJVreiY
There's just...something about this song. This video in particular. While I don't have it on my iPod, I definitely could listen to it over. And over. And over. It's very catchy, and a very quirky, amusing song. This guy also did Still Alive, for those of you who listen to that. And besides, who doesn't love the line, "And I'm so into you/But I'm way too smart for you."
Come on.
Number Eight
Vanilla Twilight by Owl City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk
I've had an odd relationship with Owl City. I really didn't like them at the beginning when they first became popular. Mainly it was because another of the songs, Fireflies, was played bloody everywhere. Drove me nuts. Of course, the song got into my head, and I found myself singing along.
And then, someone (*coughs.*) gave me a link to this song. Spent the next half hour listening to this song over and over. I really like this one, but it doesn't lurk on my iPod. Definitely a good song.
Number Seven
Never Too Late by Three Days Grace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL2ZwXj1tXM&feature=artistob&playnext=1&list=TL1XYsbTlEzZg
I like this song. Another one that doesn't live on my iPod, but DC101, our local rock station, plays it all the time. So chances are, in a good few hour period, I'll get my Three Days Grace fix. This is one of those songs I've heard for a long time. It just kind of lurks in my memory, but I know it's there. And I like it. Sort of a familiar, comfortable song. You know?
Number Six
Letters from the Sky by Civil Twilight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wa7dFR09vU
Stars real frikking slow, but man does it pick up. I really like this song. It was played on the radio all the time, but then they stopped. Still, this is one of those songs I'll immediately recognize and warble (I've been told I can't sing. I don't think I'm all that bad...) In the end, I really do love this song. :3
So yeah. Part One of my Top Favorite Songs. Next batch, it gets real good as we hit number one in my favorite list. All time favorite too. Man, will it be hard to pick. Till then, check out a few of these, tell me what you think.
