Jetstream: Too much Green Day.
Edible: There were other albums released in 2009, ya know?

Now for my top ten...

10. "Life Of The Party" by A Rocket To The Moon - great pop-rock party anthem.

9. "Hey Katie" by Making April - A very amusing pop rock song about the singer's obsession with Kate Beckinsale.

8. "PDA" by The Backstreet Boys - Say what you want. I like it. Lol.

7. "First Train Home" by Imogen Heap - calm, mellow, classic stuff from Imogen.

6. "Music" by Manic Drive - great, galloping techno-rock tune with a fantastic violin backing.

5. "Heartbreak Warfare" by John Mayer - good old Johnny.

4. "Don't Stop Believing" by the Cast of Glee. Way to bring back the old-school hits and reinvent them at the same time.

3. "Forget And Not Slow Down" by Relient K - pop punk awesomnity.

2. "Mess Of Me" by Switchfoot - grungy pop rock from the Foot. Return to their usually exceptional form.

1. "Code Name: Raven" by House of Heroes. Absolutely PHENOMENAL song and album (off the album 'The End Is Not The End').

HELL YES!



Clarke, we put The Fixer at the same spot. #4.

Very good tune. I saw them live this year at Virgin Fest. Beyond worth it. Their first encore was Eddie sitting on stage drinking a bottle of wine (the entire bottle) while the band played and the crowd sang Alive. Absolutely brilliant.

Damn you...just DAMN YOU!

Green Day's terrible.[/enddiscussion]

10) "Bloodlines" - Dethklok
9) "Flag in the Ground" - Sonata Arctica
8) "Panic Switch" - Silversun Pickups
7) "Break" - Three Days Grace
6) "Divinations" - Mastodon
5) "At the Bottom" - Brand New
4) "Dialectic Chaos" - Megadeth
3) "The Count of Tuscany" - Dream Theater
2) "Keelhauled" - Alestorm
1) "A Nightmare to Remember" - Dream Theater

And Arch Enemy as well as Stratovarius released some great stuff, too. I also contemplated throwing a Protest the Hero live song on there as well. And for the record, Muse's album was way overrated, still good (which says a lot about the band), but overrated.

I have that Green Day album, and I will say that Jetstreams choices for which songs were the best from it I think were unusual. I thought Know your Enemy was the worst song on the Album, and 21st century breakdown was a good song but not the best of the year. Last day on earth was meh, there were a lot of better songs to choose from.

You forget to take into account that i'm unusual.

Those are the songs that I like. I also like Before The Lobomoty, Christian's Inferno, Viva La Gloria!, and American Eulogy. However, I don't wanna get into that...

10. "Uprising" by Muse
9. "Playing with Dolls" by Slayer
8. "New Fang" by Them Crooked Vultures
7. "Headcrusher" by MegaDeth
6. "Rusted from the Rain" by Billy Talent
5. "Russian Roulette" by KISS
4. "Break" by Three Days Grace
3. "The Czar" by Mastodon
2. "Still Unbroken" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
1. "A Nightmare to Remember" by Dream Theater

Damn, that was harder then I thought.

Actually no I don't, at all

I'd count it

I'm pretty sure that was last year.

And the Scientist was, what, 2002?

Scientest was a long time ago, geez Viva La Vida was barely 2009.

The Arcade Fire song came out about three years ago, as with Radiohead. I'm sure the rest are equally anachronistic.

Hmm i think ToastErr chose his top 10 songs of 2009 not the top ten of released songs.

Taking a better look at the list...

Date With the Night was out at least '07 and Frou Frou dispanded in the early naughties...

...Whoa, my brain is on drugs. For some reason I thought this was a "best of the decade" thread. Best of 2009, you say?
