New music ideas, please.

I'm an iPod/iTunes whore. And I'm desperate for new music. I have 2,000 songs in my music library, but only 389 songs in my usual everyday playlist. I need some new stuff. I need good, new stuff. Something not by The Fray or Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers (heaven help me) or Katy Perry or Black Eyed Peas.

Post your 5 favorite songs in comments, all 2 of you who read this blog. Your favorite songs don't even have to be from this year--I'll take any suggestions.

To get this party started, here are my top 5 (in no particular order), using my own playlist as a guide:
1. Pick Up the Pieces -- Average White Band
2. All the Small Things -- Blink 182
3. Santa Monica -- Everclear
4. I'm Yours -- Jason Mraz
5. Leave Out All the Rest -- Linkin Park

and a few more favorites, to continue the party, because I'm in charge and I can list more than five because I say I can:
6. In Your Eyes -- Peter Gabriel
7. Closing Time -- Semisonic
8. Rock This Town -- Stray Cats
9. Hard To Handle -- Black Crows
10. I'm Beginning to See the Light -- Bobby Darrin

Give me more good stuff, oh blogger world.

  2. I could never pick a top 5 because I am always listening to new music and it's constantly changing, but on our blog page I have a music player full of ALL my favorites. Some are new, some are old, and some are just stinkin' awesome. So check it out ane I hope you find something you like. I also will tell you that right now I am listening to the Kings of Leon and they are amazing!

  3. I just checked out Kings of Leon on iTunes. The album has 4.5 out of 5 stars, with 1300+ reviws--impressive! I may splurge and buy the whole album, rather than guessing which individual songs I might like. That Ray LaMontagne song sounds good, too....will check out the others as well. Thanks, ladies!!

  5. Oooh, Lips of an Angel by Hinder--didn't know the name or artist of this song before. Thank you. It's a good one. Am buying it now....

    Already have (and love) American Rejects.

    Looking into the rest of them! Thanks, Melodie!

    p.s. Listening to Butthole Surfers right now. Ack, awful name, I know. But it was a good song they had...
