Musical Preferences

Picking a top five favorites songs is a challenge because there are so many songs that I enjoy for tons of different reasons. So to make this a little easier I decided to pick five songs that, no matter when or where, or even how long its been, I always love hearing them and they always put me in a better mood. So, in alphabetical order by artist here are the top five that fit that description as of right now (sadly, some of them are pretty embarrassing):

1. Girl Beck

Whenever I hear this song I instantly feel better. The video game like introduction reminds me of wasting time as a little kid and the summery feel of the lyrics and melody make me want to be out in the sun, relaxing no matter what time of year it is.

2. Rockin the Suburbs Ben Folds

I guess growing up as a boring middle class American in the suburbs makes the virtually nonexistent teen angst that he's singing about weirdly appealing to me.

3. My Name Is Eminem

Don't make fun of me for this, but for some unexplained reason I absolutely love this song. It literally makes me laugh whenever I hear it and I just can't help but sing along. And there's really absolutely no reason besides that I just like it, as embarrassing as that is.

4. What I Got Sublime

Ok so no embarrassment here, I really truly love this song. It might seem like a cliched song choice out of all of Sublime's songs, and there's definitely others that I think are better and might even like more, but for me this song has that lasting quality. I could hear it over and over and not be tired of it, and the great mood it always puts me in.

4. Fat Lip Sum 41

Again, this one's pretty embarrassing and I know this song/band hasn't been cool since middle school, but I still have this weird attachment to it. It's just fun every time I hear it, and sing every word as loud as I can't (I know you know all the words too...).
