My top 10 Songs atm.

Look carefully at the title. "My top 10 songs atm" (Emphasis added--- WTF?). So, yeah, you might completely disagree with me, you might think that all the songs here absolutely suck, or  you might think Ive left out some songs. Frankly, its my list of songs and Im only posting it here to let you know what I like. Ie no intentions of telling you "someone someone" is better than someone else.

Also, my favourite songs dont remain constant. I could come read this half an hour after posting this and think "WTF was I doing?!".  It changes according to my mood. Of course, there are some songs that are so amazing that they change my mood :P Oh btw, you need to mouse over the links to be able to see them. Happy Link Hunting...

Anyway, here it is. My top 10 songs atm...

10)

"Im Awesome" by Spose.

 This is a hilarious "self-dissing" rap written by Spose (or his younger sister... you need to listen to the song to get that). Musically, it SUCKS aint great but its fun to listen too ;)

You can listen to it here--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDCDdjOUmEk (Warning : Explicit lyrics)

9) "Kadhal Rojave" by A R Rahman.

Off his first film, this song is a romantic melody that shows ARR's *ahem* class. Amazing ;)

8) "They Dont Care About Us (Rio Version/Brazil Version/2nd Version)" by Michael Jackson and Olodum.

Ahh.. The King of Pop. This song, for me, is an amazing piece of art...also because of the inclusion of the drummer group Olodum. They made this version better than the original prison version. Their beats are amazing and literally gives me enough energy to go out and find something to protest against. Of course, you combine that with the legendary Michael Jackson and you get something brilliant.

7) "We Weren't Born to Follow" by Bon Jovi



Like all other songs by Bon Jovi, this song is also meant to give inspiration and it does just that. Its an amazing song, introduced to me by Chennai Live 104.8 FM but still... Like TDCAU, gives me energy. *Thumbs up*

6) "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem ft. Rihanna

You aint gonna have a "Top songs" list from me without an Eminem song :P Anyway, this song quickly became one of the most popular songs of last year and was nominated for best song at the most recent Grammys. A part of Eminem's spectacular recovery (no pun intended), it definitely re-established the fact that Eminem is the greatest rapper alive, if not the The Greatest Rapper of All Time.

5) "Thriller" by (Do I even need to say this?) Michael Jackson

Just a few words about this: Its easy to see why this is one of MJ's most popular songs.

4) "Fast Lane" by BadMeetsEvil.

Released this week, this song got over 4 million views in a week on a Youtube. Oh, and by the way, BadMeetsEvil is the rap/hip hop duo consisting of Royce Da 5'9 and EMIN3M! :P. Its one of the "fastest" raps Ive heard and its quite amazing. Only the Chorus makes sense, but Royce's amazing delivery and  Eminem being as brilliant as himself makes this song one of the best songs released this year.

3) "Lose Yourself" by Eminem.

Off the film "8 Mile" starring Eminem, this song won the artist a grammy and an Oscar for Best Song. For me, this is a LEGENDARY song. Its the unusual "slow rap" and some people consider it Hip Hop. Anyway, absolutely brilliant. IDC if you ignored all the links above. Youve GOT to listen to this...

2) "Stan" by Eminem ft. Dido..

Okay, seriously... too much Eminem. I know. Did I say "Lose Yourself" was legendary?! This is much much better. Arjun Kg asked me whether Eminem was "talking or rapping". Its not THAT slow, but yes, it is slow and it works wonders for the story of the song. Its about a crazed eminem fan (MUCH more crazy about him than me) who goes mad because he doesnt get a letter from Eminem. The Dark, mysterious beat of the song and the ending "Damn!" makes this a classic. One of the best songs of all time, IMO.

1) And the number one song on my list (not by Eminem, in case you're wondering) is"I Just Cant Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson ft Seidah Garrett.

Absolutely beautiful. Flows though me when I hear it.... HERE --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tai2j3dVSUQ
