10) Possibility - Lykke Li
Coming off the New Moon soundtrack, this song soothes out of the speakers with grace and a haunting piano piece. The New Moon soundtracks offers great songs, but this one song stands alone.
9) Come On - Green River Ordinance
Indie rock is alive and well and GRO is letting it breathe. I have had the joy of seeing these boys in concert and they are beyond amazing and talented. They surely will be sticking around for a long time.
8) Rude Boy - Rihanna
God bless Rihanna and her island roots. I cannot get enough of this song. the island-y based beats and sound are off the hook. Sure to be a summer hit for sure. Is you big enough?
7) Whatya Want From Me - Adam Lambert
I love me some Adam, who wouldn't? He's an amazing singer and sexy as hell. Honestly, didn't care for the song when it first came out, but before I knew it, I couldn't stop listening to it.
6) Resistance - Muse
This is a great rock song. Muse is one of those bands you can put on and gets everyone in a good mood no matter the circumstance, and this song does just that.
5) Death - White Lies
Sounds a bit like Joy Division, with a mixture of The Smiths and a dash of The Killers. I am in complete love with this band and this song. No words can describe it.
4) Brick by Boring Brick - Paramore
Songs that tell stories are inspiring but also intriguing. This song is epic, boasting amazing vocals by Hayley Williams and hard rock instrumentals by the rest of the band. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, but God bless Paramore.
3) Your Love is My Drug - Ke$ha
Electropop is alive and well. 'Tik Tok' broke Kesha through, but this song is a pop masterpiece. Equipped with an infectious hook, Kesha's wild antics, and a solid chorus, this song is sure to be remembered for years and years to come without feeling dated.
2) Animal - Neon Trees
If The Killers and Muse had a baby, Neon Trees would be it's bastard child. I love discovering new bands and this band takes the cake. It's one of those cases where I hope this band breaks through to the mainstream but stays indie for my personal enjoyment :)
1) Young Forever - Jay - Z f/ Mr. Hudson
Rare occurrence for me to have a rap song on the list let alone it be number one. But this isn't just a rap song - this song is of epic proportions. Sampling the synth classic "Forever Young" by Alphaville, and getting the Jay-Z makeover with his awesome lyrics, this song bumps out of the speakers and transcends into your soul.
