Gigi made a blog post saying her 20 favorite songs, and I wondered "Why did she come up with it first?" I really love music, I'll burn through my iPod battery in two days. So I'll just say my 20 favorite songs, in no order too!

Iris- Goo Goo Dolls- For an over-dramatic movie soundtrack love song, Iris is pretty darn good, and beats every other song made for a movie. Even My Heart Will Go On.

Sober- P!NK- I love how emotional P!NK's voice sounds in this song. I also love how for a moment, all the instuments stop after the line "I don't wanna be the one who has to face the silence". Most musicians would put a guitar note there, but not P!NK. Pure pop genius.

Under The Bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers- This song is hands down one of the best alternative rock songs known to mankind. When a song confesses stuff like it did in Under The Bridge, there's no way on earth it can't go wrong. Plus, the guitar intro is amazing, who knew a simple guitar riff could sound so mournful.

Lazy Eye- Silversun Pickups-This song is so creative and beautiful...except for this 30 second part. Nikki Monninger's voice is great, and the guitar has this distorted sound that sounds like a mix of late 60's rock and 90's alternative a la Smashing Pumpkins.

Reptilia- The Strokes- This song is built on the catchiest guitar riff of the 21st century, how can you go wrong with that? It's got a great solo too.

Misery Business- Paramore- This song gave me hope that rock in the 2000's wasn't completely dead. It's got a catchy riff, good solo, and it's essentially a LeShawna/Heather catfight over Harold. I would be stunned if it wasn't in TDtM.

Everlong- Foo Fighters- This song sounds so mysterious, and that's what makes it my favorite hard rock song of the 90's. My biggest dream in life is to find out what the words whispered backwards towards the end of the song are.

Breathe (2 A.M.)- Anna Nalick- Anna Nalick has a beautiful voice, and she definitely shows it in this song. I like this one so much, I'm going to make a one-shot involving it in the near-future.

Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana- Most recognizable guitar riff ever (The Black Eyed Peas should be ashamed they dared to sped up the riff and usedit in Boom Boom Pow). I don't even know what the lyrics mean, but the song oozes awesomeness, so who cares? RIP Kurt Cobain as well.

Linger- The Cranberries- This song sounds extrordinarily pretty, and I love how The Cranberries make sure you can tell there's an Irish accent when they're singing. More pop genius.

Lovers In Japan- Coldplay- There are a lot of good things about this song. The ragtime-esque piano is very different and unmistakeable, and the song overall has this soaring feel to it, despite one person on the lyrics website I set the link to said the song was about getting locked up in a Japanese prison.

I Alone-Live-I love how I Alone is sung, it seems passionate, desperate, almost psychotic. But wonderfully psychotic, like Izzy. It's a shame Live just broke up.

Enter Sandman-Metallica- Ths has to be the best known metal song in history. A lot of people said that Metallica sold out with this song because it was a commercial sucess, but I think this song was just too awesome to notice.

How To Save A Life-The Fray - I love The Fray and this song in particular. The Fray always word their songs well, and this song has a great drum solo at the end too.

In The End- Linkin Park- When I first heard this one, I thought, "Oh, it's just another one of those rap singles, blech.", but as soon as the chorus kicked in, I was making the \m/ gesture with both hands. While banging my head. In the car. Next to my dad who was staring at me like I was crazy.

Shadow of the Day-Linkin Park- This song was extremely touching, because Shadow of the Day sounded so bittersweet and proved that Chester Bennington could actually sing.

All I Want To Do-Sheryl Crow- It's really hard not to like this song tremendously, because it's so...fun. It's like, the perfect cheer-up song, just because of how it sounds, with or without the lyrics.

Shiver-Coldplay- This song is probably one of the sweetest songs ever recorded, and the pop-rock sound works well for Coldplay, despite the sound they became famous for in later albums. If I ever have to do a song-fic, I'd do a CodyxGwen one to this.

Viva La Vida-Coldplay We all know this one well. I can't get over how it was driven by a violin... riff I guess the term would be. I don't think anyone ever did that in a pop song,let alone a massive hit.

Sweet Child O' Mine-Guns n' Roses- I love this song, it proves even the hardest of bands can have a soft side... or a less hard side. Besides, as far as love songs go, it set the bar high.

That's all 20, showing that I mostly like hard rock apparently. Well, I hope you guys find a song you like, and I'll get to work on The Penthouse.
