Top 10 songs of 2010...

To ring in the new year I am going to start of with music. I mean the blog is called "hard rock conservative" after all. Most of my posts for the next two weeks will be music related and mostly lists. Anyway here are my top 10 songs of 2010 (note: you will notice how they are not all rock songs)

#10 (Avenged Sevenfold)-Nightmare, good nasty metal song that is a little long on the video but still catchy nonetheless...


#9 (Papa Roach)-Kick in the Teeth, very catchy song. Came out in the summer and went unnoticed by most. I loved the beats though and it reminds me why I like this band so damn much


#8 (Taylor Swift)-Mine, okay yes I know its a country song and I'm supposed to hate everything country but I'm a sucker for Taylor's voice (and I'm still pissed about what Kanye did at the 2009 MTV music video awards but I digress) and of course, her body. But damn can this girl sing and tell a story.


#7 (Taio Cruz) Dynamite- Ok I literally know nothing about this guy but he sings/raps a catchy tune and had the (almost) hit summer song. 2nd catchiest song out there this year.


#6 (Katy Perry)-Teenage Dream, catchy sexual tune about teens doing it. Ok not the most original song concept ever but damn does Katie make it sound like it is for some reason. Note the video is borderline porn, then again it seems like most of her videos are...


#5 (Ke$ha)-We R who we R- yes the song came out back earlier this month but unlike a lot of people out there I like Ke$ha and hate Lady Gaga. Ke$ha is smart and entertaining, she nearly got a perfect score on her SAT's, and she snuck into prince's house in LA to drop off a demo tape. Like it or not she will be around for years to come.


#4 (Saving Abel)- The Sex is good, noticing a theme here? But seriously this song would normally be #1 in other years but the fact I have it at 4 proves this was a hell of a year for music. One of the most crass songs you've ever heard but there's truth to it, oh and it's pretty catchy too. Still no official music video though :/ and I have no idea why.


#3 (Ke$ha) Take it off- Another catchy late summer tune, I didn't even know it was her for the longest time. This was the song that made me realize she was no one hit wonder, she may act like Britney Spears but this bitch can sing like Christina.


#2 (Linkin Park) The Catalyst- The fact they aren't #1 on my list pains me but while they had a killer single to debut their first album in 4 frickin years it still wasn't the best song of the year. It was close but I swear it pains me to acknowledge the creds of the person/song I put above this


#1 (Katy Perry) California Gurls- Yeah, yeah I know I'm a rocker and shouldn't acknowledge pop music exists but it does. And damnitall this was a catchy tune, this is "California Dreaming" for the millenials. This wasn't just a hit summer song, this is a defining summer song that will be sung for DECADES to come, a song that only comes around once every 15-20 years. This is the new, sexual innuendo, catchy, song of summer until something knocks it off. Oh and it only has 63+ million views on YouTube... Plus you gotta love Snoop Dogg. And no this has nothing to do with the fact that I'm technically a "california boy". Well... maybe a little.
