The Electric Version

After taking a look at the incredibly awesome Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown I've decided to compile and share my personal top 10 "favorite songs"
They are personal favorites and I fully acknowledge they are not the best songs of all time, they are just songs I myself like the most.

10. Dumb Mistakes - Faker I know you might be thinking "How shit" but my like for this song is more about nostalgia and memories this song brings. It also shits all over their singles which are pretty terrible.
9. The Distance - Cake
This song is great, the story is a trifle sad but it has an awesome bass line and is a generally awesome song.
8. Burden In My Head - Soundgarden
I honestly can't say too much about this song from a musical standpoint; it has a pretty awesome introduction and manages to sound upbeat no matter how depressing the lyrics might be. Chris Cornell manages to sing "So kill your health and kill yourself, kill everything you love" in a way that seems eerily happy.
7. Ashes To Fire - Ghost Hounds
This song is short and the band is fairly unknown but it's a great song none the less.The song manages to combine elements jazz, soul and rock and as a result sounds freaking amazing. It's a real shame that this band's music is so hard to obtain
6. Debaser - Pixies
This song has really grown on me and although it might not be the most musically complex piece it still sounds great and provides a break from the typical "Pixies' Sound"
5. Anywhere But Here - Sick Puppies
This song is left fairly underrated in comparison to the rest of the album, chronologically it creates the perfect buildup to the albums last song and overall it's a great song. It's constant tempo switches, changes in vocal pitch and complex drum fills all contribute to the song being great.
4. Main Offender - The Hives
This song is non-stop energy from start to finish, the distortion on the vocals and guitar give the song a hard edged and aggressive feel. The catchy guitar riff and unique sounding drums make this song memorable.
3. When I Was a Little Girl - Billy Talent
This song is little over 2 minutes long and yet it proves it's worth within the first 15 seconds, the beat is fast and unrelenting, the guitar riff is catchy and the drums are chaotic. The vocals are sung fast and loud with the occasional scream, explicit lyrics and drastic pitch changes. This song is easily the best song on the album and I think it's a shame that it's only a bonus track on their breakthrough album.
2. Juicebox - The Strokes
Juicebox brings a dramatic change to the sound of the Strokes, it's a much more aggressive and hard edged in comparison the other songs. The bass guitar takes center stage in this song, filling the role of a "lead guitar" for the most part. The guitar plays the rhythm part of the song for the most part excluding the awesome guitar solo which is really unusual of The Strokes. During the verses the vocalist sings in a way which is almost regular speech, however this picks up during the chorus where he practically shouts "Why won't you come over here", he then leads into a harmonic bridge which has a clean sounds without distortion, providing a good break between verse and chorus.
1. It's Only Divine Right - The New Pornographers
