Phil’s Faves: Songs, November 20, 2011

This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I’ve already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it’s online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren’t sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don’t use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven’t heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.
Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.

1) (“I Want To) Come Home”—Another week at the top! The string arrangement really makes it sound so Beatlesque!
2) “We Owned the Night”—Right now, Lady A owns the Number 2 spot!
3) “Blood Pressure”—One of the best rock songs of the year!
4) “A Thousand Years”—OK, I don’t know what everybody is waiting for on this one, but you’re missing out on a good one! I mean, she’s waited for a thousand years………
5) “Red Solo Cup”—The song isn’t as good as the video, so this one might be peaking….
6) “Down at the Plaza”—The “plaza” might be closing soon…..
7) “Sparks Fly”—Watch out for this one. It’s kind of tricky and has a tendency to sneak up on you when you’re not paying attention………………
8) “Paradise”—A really good “simbie” chorus!
9) “Stereo Hearts”—Fading after a decent run……….
10) “The Trouble With Girls”—I actually like this one, especially the chorus line, “The trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me.” A GREAT line!
