I've been thinking about starting this for awhile now but never got around to it. The point is to list your top 10, 15, 32, whatever of whatever list (best songs, bands, etc.) you want to post. It's open to disucssion but don't rip on people's musical tastes. I have three I'm preparing to post but here is the first.

I like Arcade Fire. They have a lot of Killers in them. "Scenes From The Suburbs" is a great video. Others favorites are 'We Used to Wait' and 'Ready to Start', the song they are probably best known for. I'm also into MGMT. I have a great appreciation for highly creative and experimental bands like these. I can easily relate to them.

I go through phases with my music. Right now, my "recently added" and "most played" looks like this

By trade, I work at a local missions base and tend to our Prayer Room. As part of what I do there, I lead worship with my team every Monday night and just sit and play and sing by myself at other times throughout the week.

So, rather than post the top ten albums on my iPod (which I was going to do until I realized I couldn't make it to ten), I'll post this:

Top Ten Songs I Perform Without My Worship Team:
1. Beautiful - Phil Wickham
2. How He Loves - John Mark McMillan
3. I Will Rise - Chris Tomlin
4. I Exalt Thee - Pete Sanchez, Jr.
5. Amazing Grace - John Newton
6. Soul Cry - Misty Edwards
7. Emptied - Jeremy Horn
8. Glory and Dominion - Ryan Kondo
9. Death in His Grave - John Mark McMillan
10. I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash (although I play the arrangement by Live)

I have to say, Music has mostly disappointed my lately... I feel like they're nothing new out there. Maybe it's just I don't know where to find it, but I feel like I shouldn't have to hunt, you know?

I defninitely see stuff I like on Havoc and Rob's lists... the stuff Havoc's got on there is what little there is of New 'Rock', IMO.


Anyway, last 10 Albums I listed to(in no particular order):

1. Adele '21' -- Reminds me of a British version of Christina Aguilera with all the vocal talent and none of the pop-tartness

2. Rush 'Roll the Bones' -- Rush is probably my favorite band of all time, never get tired of Geddy Lee

3. Evanesence - 'Fallen' -- It's really a shame Amy Lee vanished... I would have liked to her more of her.

4. Massive Attack - Various on You Tube -- These are the guys that do the theme song to House... I looked them up based on the theme song of a British TV show I like, Luther. Pretty decent electronica, if you're into that sort of thing.

5. Gatemouth Brown - 'Long Way Home' -- His last album (AFAIK) before he based away.. great old school blues man. This particular album is highlighted by his teaming with Clapton for a great verison of 'Blues Power'

6. Extreme 'III sides to Every Story' -- What can I say, I like Progressive Rock. I kinda listed to this by accident.. it was next on the list after Evanescence... but it's really a great concept album.

7. Stone Temple Pilots 'No. 4' -- STP is a close 2nd to Rush in my big book of bands I like Sour Girl still gets me every time.

8. David Pirner 'Faces and Names' -- For those that don't know, Pirner is the songwriter and front man for Soul Asylum. They sorta fell off the map (their last new album was almost country), but this one is more Soul Asylum-esque. I saw them at a free show over the summer, and was in the mood

9. Toad the Wet Sprocket 'Dulcinea' -- I was mortified when my 20 year old little sister said she'd never heard of Toad, so I went home and took a CD out for her. They sound kinda dated now.. very early 90s.. but that was a good time for music, IMO, so that's OK

10. Billy Joel 'The Stranger' - I was a huge fan of Billy as a kid.. he was my first love, music wise. While I still haven't forgiven him for not making a killer album on his break up with Christie Brinkley, I still pop a CD in now and then

Would like to comment on a few of these.

Love Rush: Roll The Bones. That was the album that got me truly into Rush. Obviously I liked Tom Sawyer and such but it was Bones that did it. And the follow up Counterparts is great too.

Evanescence: Fallen is a great album. And Amy Lee hasn't fallen off the Earth WF. They have a new album coming out from what I hear.

Extreme: I didn't like "III Sides..." as much as "Pornograffiti". Pornograffiti is plain awesome. I did like "Rest In Peace"

Pretty much everything from STP rocks.

And a fellow Toad The Wet Sprocket fan. When I just want to chill away from the metal madness in my head, I turn to them. Great music.

And to Rob; never would have pictured you for a Lamb of God fan. Pretty cool.

Counterparts is probably my favorite Rush album, actually...great stuff lyrically, IMO.

I saw Toad back in the day at Holyoke College in a small room that held about 500 fellow college aged Toad fans..2nd best concert I've ever been to.

Funnily enough, I never really like Pornograffiti... not sure why... just one of those things, I guess.
