Class of 2010 - Best Songs of the Year

So now ladies and gentlemen its times for the top 10 (yes i said ten instead of five) songs of the year. Remember, my music taste is extremely varied and many different genre will be covered !

10. Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold
Just for the guitarwork and lyrics...great song all in all!

9. My First Kiss - 3OH!3 Feat Ke$ha
Such a catchy song from the boys of Colorado with the finished touch of the beautiful Ke$ha!

8. Playing God - Paramore
Yes, yes bias comes into play here, this song is one of my favourites of Brand New Eyes and now has significant importance in relation to the recent Paramore news...

7. The Captain - Biffy Clyro
Yeah it may have been out tail end of last year but hey ho am putting it in here. Why? The "HO!!" start of the song is an awesome opening and the chorus of "somebody help me sing !?!" makes it truly an anthem.

6. Watercolour - Pendulum
The lead song for Immersion and a fantastic track from the Aussie drum n bass boys. Such a great track to dance to and it gets ur feet tapping.

5. Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida & David Guetta
Final 5 ! I said i had a varying taste in music. Tbh this song always gets me grooving on the dancefloor it is soo damn catchy !!!

4. Love the Way you Lie - Eminem feat Rhianna
The vibrant mix of Rhianna's singing and Eminem's rapping skills make this song very much a highlight of 2010 in the summer time.

3. The Island - Pendulum
Second entry for Pendulum which shows how strong the album actually was in my opinion ! This is my favourite song on the album...the second part was indeed a "TUNE!"

2. Destabilise - Enter Shikari
The most plays on my iTunes?? Aye this deserves to be here. Its a great wee song with the added "shikari shuffle" and the added political meaning. TUNE!

1. Airplanes - B.O.B Feat Hayley Williams
Would you expect anything less. It has my hayley in it of course i am gonna love it ! Oh and part 2 with eminem is even better !!

Thats the top 10...comments guys??

The Class of 2010 - The Gigs

Well as the year is coming to an end and it is time to close another chapter in the life of myself i guess i should do a favourites from the year. So this blog will focus on the best gigs i have been to this year. Since January i think i have been to about 30 gigs and seen verging on 100 bands (probably more) so here are my top 5 of the year:



5 The Prodigy - "Where are my warriors!!" is the line i remember as Maxim and the rest graced the stage in an electric set that shook everyone that witnessed it to the core. Light show, techno beats and the crowd going mental...prodigy are one of the best in the game for getting the crowd going.
Best Song - Smack my Bitch Up

4. Pendulum - The Prodigy's potential successor to crossing the rock-dance divide did not disappoint with a brilliant show that warmed everyone up while the snow and cold was causing all sorts of problems outside. With their mix of rock and dance they certainly know how to keep a crowd bouncing for the whole show.
Best Song - The Island part 1 and 2

3. Muse - Matt Bellamy is an absolute maestro and the T in the Park performance was just unbelievable. The three piece certainly deserve all the awards they get for being one of the best live bands in the business at this time.
Best Song - United States of Eurasia

2. Blink 182 - The return of "Mark Hoppus and the other two" was met by me with a massive amount of excitement. Their SECC performance brought back soo much memories of when i was younger and when i listened to them first. Oh and Travis Barker even threw in a massive drum solo woth a rotating drum kit...nuff said.
Best Song - Stockholm Syndrome

1. Madness - "Madness? they call it madness!!" Yes that quote was used a lot during that T in the Park Weekend and well Suggs and Co were exceptional. The crowd were up for dancing and jumping around and ska dancing...old and young ones alike. It was a massive party and easily one of the best bands i have seen in my years going to T in the Park. Oh and their return in November at the O2 Academy was not too shabby either.
Best Song - One Step Beyond
