Top 10 Music Countdown

Because of the maximum fabulosity of my Top Ten Countdown (bloghop hosted by Alex J. Cavenaugh), I've created a Top 10 You Tube playlist for your enjoyment. I had two main criteria for my selections:

* The songs had to be by bands/performers that have a whole stable of great songs.  No one-hit-wonders here.  So each song on the list represents one of my personal favorite bands/performers.

*  The songs have to be timeless.  When I listen to them years later, I have to love them not because of whatever memory they dredge up, but because they still rock.  And so, the order here was simply decided by how much time they've been tested for...i.e. in order of release date, starting w/ the most recent.

**Please note, if asked again tomorrow,
I reserve the right to completely change this list ;)**

10  "Just Breathe" Pearl Jam

9 "I'm Shipping up to Boston" Dropkick Murphys

8 "Pretty Vegas" INXS

(I feel like a traitor choosing a song post Michael Hutchence, but the new guy very much has his sound...and he can totally pull off guyliner...hummina hummina)

7 "Sway" Michael Bublé

(Yeah, yeah, I know---the song goes back to Dean Martin and beyond, but Bublé-boy is the reason it made my list)

6 "Can't Stop" Red Hot Chili Peppers

5 "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana

4 "Just Like Heaven" The Cure

3 "And She Was" Talking Heads

2 "Just Can't Get Enough" Depeche Mode

My number one song was soooo hard to select because I have many favourites by this band, but here is my #1 choice du jour:

1 "Embarrassment" Madness

So how did I do?  

Any overlap in our musical tastes?
