Alex J. Cavanaugh’s TOP TEN COUNTDOWN – MUSIC BLOGFEST!
I’ve been meaning to participate in this all day but didn’t get a chance to sit down and think about it until right now. I only have an hour of today left, but hey, better late than never! Check out my stylish entrance.

It is unfair to have to pick your favorites of anything. UNFAIR. But I’ll give it my all anyhow. (Also, I cheated. I couldn’t pick just 10. So I picked 11. I AM A RULE BREAKER. RAWR.)
I think it is funny that these songs together would make a terrible mix tape. Terrible.
Ok, in no particular order…
- You Make My Dreams – Hall & Oats
- Hoppipolla – Sigur Ros
- Ironspy – Splashdown
- Carry on Wayward Son – Kansas
- The Devil Went Down to Georgia – The Charlie Daniels Band
- From Yesterday – 30 Seconds to Mars
- Hammers & Strings – Jack’s Mannequin
- Such Great Heights – The Postal Service
- On Your Porch – The Format
- Sky Keeps Falling – Jonas Sees in Color
- Live in Technicolor ii – Coldplay
(sorry I couldn’t find a good copy of this song)
Sommer
My name is Sommer and I'm a writer from the Midwest. I am currently working on a YA novel about superheroes, reading as much as I can, blogging, and saving the world.
What a neat mix of songs!
Hello, Sommer. Had a great time checking out all of the lists the other day; however, was unable to get to them all. I love the Hall & Oates and Kansas references, as well as the 30 Seconds to Mars. That song was stuck in my head until the “This Is War” album pushed it away. I hope to catch them live one of these days. Good to meet you. Have a great weekend,
-James
I love 30STM, and Hall and Oates.
I think that Hall and Oates song might be my favorite song to listen to any time. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing I always stop to dance when it comes on.
Fantastic list! I completely forgot about Devil Went Down to Georgia – such a great song! Love love love You Make My Dreams Come True as well. Thanks for the little videos so I could listen!!
Thanks for stopping by to listen! I absolutely adore Devil Went Down to Georgia. Whenever it comes up on my iPod rotation I turn it up as loud as I can and sing along. Interesting side note- my cats do NOT like this song. One of them even cries during the song.
Great Kansas song! Guess I’m showing my age with that one though.
Thanks for participating.
oooh… a lot of these i don’t know!! but i love devil goes down to georgia- violins and fiddles (are they the same thing???) just get to me!
