100 Of My Favorite Songs

Bought a new ipod today, and the guy at future shop said he couldnt think of a way to fill hiss current ipod. Not only did i think of enough music to fill my ipod, (with some left over), i found 100 songs i love, WITHOUT repeating an artist once. So here it is, my greatest 100 songs (in no particular order)

100.One Winged Angel-Black Magesl, because video games and heavy metal are 2 of the best things on the planet

99.Latomeri-Seokset, Finland is just too gnar to not have on the list

98.Paint It Black-Rolling Stones, Rock legends deserve credit when its due

97.1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch, 1 Beer-George Thorogood, Best drinking song ever recorded

96.Last Kiss-AFI, Once upon a time, these guys were awesome

85.Still Waiting-Sum 41, One of the first bands that i liked ever, this song just has some gnar energy

84.Gold Digging Whore-Steel Panther, Steel Panther is a riot, it makes fun of my favorite genre of music but it also gives me the biggest laughs of any band. Lyrics on this one are golden

78.Hysteria-Muse, Listen to this stoned, and i swear you will never come back. Incredible

71.Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz, Can't Say why, i just love this one

69.Juke Box Hero-Foreigner, Another song about how being a star has its own pressures, it has an energy all its own

68.A.C.D.C-Sweet, A gnarly song about cheating women, even hotter when Joan Jett Sings about it

67.Scream Out-The Unseen, My buddy Dan bought this warped tour cd back in 05, and i heard 1 unseen song on it and it blew my fucking mind. This is one of their best

66.Mean Man-W.A.S.P, Dirty evil hair metal that would make your grandmother faint. I can't get enough of it

65.The Kids Are Back-Twisted Sister, This song reminds me of jackass 3, wich makes me laugh everytime i see it. Guitar sounds cool too

64.Scream, Aim, Fire-Bullet For My Valentine, An actually GOOD screamo band! Go figure...

63.War Pigs-Black Sabbath, I listened to this song every day one summer, and it was nothing short of epic. Sounds like ozzy should be calling in the end of the world

62.Too Drunk Too Fuck-Dead Kennedys, Man, just a hilarious song, and buy such a great band. It was hard to choose just one

61.Big Bang-Bad Religion, Saw this in a Tony Hawk game with Chad Muska skating, it was just so intense i was hooked on punk instantly

60.The Gears-Dethklok, Metalocalypse is a fucking gnar show, and the talent behind it shows in this song. Metal as fuck

59.Moonshine Beat-Babylon Bombs, Kinda a lame ass hair band from 2004, but this song has a wicked guitar and killer bass line. Plus its about booze

58.You Can't Wrap Your Arms Around A Memory-Johnny Thunders, A great song, and a reminder even punk rockers have hearts too

57.Helena-My Chemical Romance, I get alot of flack for liking these guys, but i dont care, i still like them

56.Cherry Bomb-The Runaways, MAD respect for the first all girl rock band, they had serious attitude

55.Jet Boy-New York Dolls, Pre punk rock gods, heard this song in Baker has a Deathwish, during Jim Grecos part, my favorite skate of all time. Been hooked ever since

54.Detroit Rock City-Kiss, Maybe the only song that spawned a movie to make it on this list. Not bad for Kiss.

53.Getcha Roll On-Big Tymers, Opener for the Shake Junt vid, awesome song to dance around too, actin foolish

52.Dangerous Posse-3 6 Mafia, Shake Junt strikes again, dudes have sick taste!

51.Ghost Riders in The Sky-Willie Nelson, Pretty much a ghost story in a song, covered a million times, but willie has too good a voice to pass up

50.Hurt-Johnny Cash, Cash beats 9 inch nails. ANY. FUCKING. DAY

49.Turbonegro Must Be Destroyed-Turbonegro, Saw this in a Bam Margera DVD, and just started loving scandinavian "DEATH PUNK" as they call it. Awesome

45.High Speed Dirt-Megadeth, Random ass acoustic solo in the middle of a thrash metal song? Yes please.

44.Trashed, Lost, and Strungout-Children of Bodom, This was hard, soo many good COB songs, but i remember just hearing this one and being blown away.

43.Chemical-Crashdiet, I remember skating alone by myself one night feeling down, then this song came on and i started landing every trick i tried. It sounded so cool, and it helped me land tricks, plus its about drug addiction, so its stuck with me for a while

42.Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-Elton John, Hell of a songwriter. Great story in this song, and a great tune to it too

41.Shadow Of Your Love-Hollywood Rose, An ex girlfriend bought me a 2 cd collection of GNR demos, and this was on it. It was from before GNR was even formed, and i just fell in love with the chaotic guitar, blasting drums, and screaming vocals. Think guns gone punk as shit.

40.Without Me-Eminem, Hilarious song, i just get a kick out of it

39.Revolution-Beatles, The opening guitar riff just sounds too badass for me to ignore

38.Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight-Dropkick Murphys, Reminds me of learning to skate in front of the school with all the skaterats, good times!

37.Cocaine-Duff McKagan's Loaded, No one is more entitled to sing about coke than a former member of GNR. Except maybe Motley Crue

36.I Hate Myself For Loving You-Joan Jett, If i could date one celeb, it would be Joan Jett. This song is badass, and so is Joan

35.On My Sleeve-Dirty Penny, Badass band, sleaze rock superstars, this song is about wasted love and loneliness, something we can all relate too

32.Have You Ever Seen The Rain-Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chill song to listen to out to camp. Killer times....

31.The Beast and the Harlot-Avenged Sevenfold, My ALL TIME FAVORITE music vid, strippers, evil, guitar solos, corruption and tattoos. Just too good to pass on

30.Paradise By The Dashboard Light-Meatloaf, The king of epic songs, this one tells a story about a couple trapped together till time takes them away, its got an awesome old school feel, and just spins a GNARLY story if you listen hard

29.Mr Crowley-Ozzy Ozbourne, Organ intro, to Ozzy scream, to killer solo. I can't get enough of this

28.Trail Of Broken Hearts-Dragonforce, Even power metal bands can make a decent ballad i guess

27.Goodbye Earl-Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies, Dixie Chicks cover done VERY well, makes it even more hilarious that its a bunch of punks singing it.

26.Anthem part 2-Blink 182, My friend Tyson showed me this video of Trunks and Goten from DBZ fighting, synced up PERFECTLY to this song, so now everytime i hear it, i just picture dragonball. And that is just sweet.

25.Perfect Situation-Weezer, Just a chill ass song to stop and smoke one too.

24.Death Of a Nation-Anti Flag, Saw these guys as a suprise for the first time, and this song stood out, its kinda political, which isnt my scene, but it still sounds cool

23.Leather Rebel-Judas Priest, Judas Priest is killer, ive been gettin more and more into them, but this song is my favorite

22.Welcome To My Nightmare-Alice Cooper, This song is creepy, twangy and makes me feel very, odd. One of my favorites

21.Let's Ride-Airbourne, Show ender at the concert in 2010, AMAZING. Airbourne is like ACDC on speed, just soo much faster and harder, and it shows in this song

20.Captain Morgan's Revenge-Alestorm, Heavy Metal pirate song about a mutiny and curses.Nuff' said.

19.I Remember You-Skid Row, If you think of someone in particular while this song is playing, you are in love with that person. Thats how powerful this song is. Go ahead, try it.

18.Down In Oakland-Transplants, A song about buying drugs in oakland. Just cool man

17.Balls to The Wall-Accept, All out, knuckle dragging hair metal. GNAR

16.Desolation Row-Bob Dylan, Lyrics make absolutely NO SENSE while sober. Smoke one, then try it, somehow, it all comes together

15.South Of Heaven-Slayer, Killer intro, my buddy Dan plays this all the time, a slower slayer song, but still killer

14.Mosquito Song-Queens of the Stone Age, Trippy and quiet, drug induced and mind bending, this song will fuck your head up

13.Antisocial-Anthrax, Killer Killer Killer Killer KILLER SONG! All about being an antisocial bastard, but also how awesome it can be. I absolutely love it

12.The Kid's Aren't Alright-The Offspring, The first album i ever owned, i loved it, and the offspring will always be one of my favorite bands because of this

11.The Number of the Beast-Iron Maiden, So many maiden songs to choose from, but this one is about satan, so it wins. Plus, killer intro.

10.No Fun-Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Just classic punk, as good as it gets

9.Mama Kin-Aerosmith, Early Aerosmith was the shit. Guitars were awesome, vocals were awesome, and the lyrics shredded HARD. i love this tune

8.Overkill-Motorhead, Motorhead is, and will always be, one of the greatest bands to ever walk the earth. Lemmy is a madman, and he could write a song about anything and make it seem insane. I even wake up  to this song with more energy than a barrel of redbull

7.Bullet-Misfits, Evil punk song about the death of kennedy, i can see how this would offend alot of americans.

6.Seperation of Church and Skate-NOFX, The one line that always gets me is "The kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and coke." Shows how punks went from being social degenerates and assholes to fashion fiends. Nofx are kings of telling it how it is, and i dont want it any other way.

5.Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd, A great chill song to listen to at any time, but try putting it on, and just hearing the lyrics. Its a standard and beautiful love song

4.Rocket Queen-Guns N Roses, It was hard to choose one GNR song, and i may say something different if you ask me in person, but the bass, the vocals, the drum intro, and the guitars come together to make one perfect song. Like every song on appetite, this is one of the best songs of all time

3.On With The Show-Motley Crue, This, again was hard. I love Motley to death, but i have to say the first album was a masterpiece, this song especially. It talks about Nikki Sixx abandoning his fathers name, and just about feeling very alone in the world. Its a feeling we can all relate to, and i think Sixx captures it beautifully in this greasey sounding recording. Great song, great band

2.Creeping Death-Metallica, This song is NOTHING short of badass. Who else but metallica could take a bible story and make it awesome? No one. Plus, i remember very fondly standing next to some very good friends as the sun went down and the lights went on to Metallica RIPPING into this song. One of the best nights of my life, and one of the most memorable songs, for me at least

1.Anarchy In The U.K-The Sex Pistols, This song made me realise how boring music would be without punk. The Sex Pistols systematically pissed off everyone, EVERYONE in europe in just under 2 years, and this song, along with many others, started that. I love this band, and this song makes me happy everytime i hear it



Thats it! thats all i got! Comment if you want, this took a long ass time to write! LATER!
