This video shows the first time I heard this song. Last Christmas, I saw this one game on sale that I heard good things about and decided to give it a shot. By on sale, I mean the $60 was for just $30. Very hard to pass up. When I first fired ( Read more... )

Part 8! Sorry for the 2 week hiatus. Stuff happens...

So without further ado, here we go starting with #65:

[#65 - If you don't know or care you'll be alright, I heard it's modern to be stupid, You don't need to talk to look good]#65 - Halloween - Matt Pond PA - Several Arrows Later (2005)

This is another product of last.fm's recommended playlist. From the first time I heard it, I loved it. It has all the right instruments and a wonderful blend of sound. It sounds ( Read more... )

Yahoo! Part 7! 13 parts to go...wow and these take me a while to put together.

So, here we go with #70:

If you can't tell, James Mercer (The Shins) is the lead singer for Broken Bells. I was super excited about Broken Bells because it is a collaboration album between one of my favorite ( Read more... )

Alright! Part 6! Whew...75 to go...

Oh yeah, and like what TK is doing with his top 100, I'm going to put some lyrics as the spoiler and maybe see if you can identify the song.

Switchfoot make their first appearance in my top 100 with an awesome song from their newest rockin' album, Vice ( Read more... )

[#80]#80 - Polaris - Jimmy Eat World - Futures (2004)

I was introduced to Jimmy Eat World along with the rest of the known universe with their first major single, The Middle in 2001. Now, I wasn't and I'm still not a huge fan of ( Read more... )

Part 4 continues with #85:

[#85]#85 - Architects & Engineers - Guster - Easy Wonderful (2010)

Click to view

Guster is easily one of my all-time favorite bands thanks to their awesome albums Lost and Gone Forever (1999), Keep it Together (2003), & of course Ganging Up on the Sun (2006). It was a no-brainer to pre-order Easy Wonderful. The first time I put the CD in ( Read more... )

Part 3 continues with #90:
[#90]
#90 - Gramarye - Remy Zero - Villa Elaine (1998)

I had heard of Remy Zero before, and I think they played some of their songs on The Point. One that comes to mind is Save Me, which came out in 2001, shortly before we moved. Anyway, I became reacquainted with them one day at work. So, when I first started working, I ( Read more... )

Alright, here is part 2, starting off with #95:
[#95]
#95 - Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)- Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want (1999)

Ahhhhh, Vertical Horizon. Another band from the 1990's that I first heard through The Point. The first 4 songs on that album remain one of my very favorite leads to an album. We Are, You're a God, Everything You ( Read more... )

It's taken me quite a while to narrow my massive library down to my top 100 favorite songs (as of now, there are always new ones!). I've actually listened to my playlist a couple of times now as I've tweaked it and I'm finally happy with it. I'll post 5 songs at a time with a music video for each one. I'll also write a little bit about how I first ( Read more... )
