Top 10 Songs and Top 20 Bands

I thought you might enjoy this. I just had to join the challenge for your Top Ten Music List. It was extremely difficult to narrow the list down to 10 favorites. So, this is my current Top 10 in my itunes. My top 10 will probably be different next week. You can view my page by clicking on the link below.

1. The Bravery - An Honest Mistake
2. Santana/Rob Thomas - Smooth
3. Alpha Rev - Stuck in a Crowd
4. Bain Mattox - Peripheral People
5. The Cinematics - Break
6. Ingram Hill - Almost Perfect
7. Meridian West - Revolution
8. Wideawake - Not so far away
9. Better than Ezra - Juicy
10. Cobra Starship - Bring it

I haven't created a scrapbook page yet. But here are my Top 20 bands. Since, I can't possibly rank them, I have listed them in alphabetical order. And yes this is a relatively eclectic list. To create this list, I took into account stage presence, energy (the ability to totally rock out) and the fact that I love almost everything recorded by these bands.

1. Alejandro Escoveda
2. Alpha Rev
3. Bain Mattox
4. The Bravery
5. Chris Isaak
6. The Cinematics
7. Cowboy Mouth
8. Depeche Mode
9. DeSol
10. Franz Ferdinand
11. Gaelic Storm
12. Ingram Hill
13. Meridian West
14. OK Go
15. Paulo Nutini
16. Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty
17. She Wants Revenge
18. Sister Hazel
19. Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers
20. Wideawake

Also, I have seen everyone on both lists live except Santana. But I have seen Rob Thomas perform an acoustic version of Smooth live which still rocked and will have to hold me over until I can see Santana live in September. You should be able to find most of these bands on my myspace page if you would like to check them out.

Enjoy!
