2007
They sing that "we'd see the day that nobody died", although everyone would argue that this band's career should die
Nickelback
This band has redeemed themselves since this "itty bitty titty committee" anthem
The Beaches - T-Shirt
Got ya! This INDIE. anthem was my #1 of the year/obsession of the year
Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know
Is "Count On Me" #1 yet? Not quite, but this song by a band she was formerly in was my #9 song of 2020
Jefferson Starship - It's About Time
According to her and Snoop Dogg they're "unforgettable", but apparently they forgot how to spell
Katy Perry - California Gurls
The second best thing to happen in Wilkes-Barre had my #4 song of 2007, with the song "Breath"
Breaking Benjamin
Before she was the 26th best guitarist of all time, she was featured on this Sheryl Crow single
Wouldn't Want to Be Like You
This band is more associated with JessieLou, but this "Not Your Kind of People" lead single was my #10 song of 2012
Garbage - Blood for Poppies
Before redeeming herself just over two weeks ago, this "Fake It Flowers" lead single by an artist whose name is a mouthful gave us one of her best singles
Beabadoobee - Care
This banjo-playing indie folk band has tortured Jess' ears ever since this breakthrough hit; for some reason they do songs with Pharell Williams now
Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man
"It starts in my toes" and it ends up being the most out of place song in my year-end top 15
Colbie Caillat - Bubbly
She's got "No Roots", and no real mainstream success after this song, really
Alice Merton
This song originally dates back to 2011; I jumped on it when it became her major pop breakthrough the following year, and now she has an "army" of overly repeated currents
Ellie Goulding - Lights
It was the 8,294th version of "Highway to Hell" and lead single from the album PWR UP
AC/DC - Shot in the Dark
Also not a fave of Jess, but this new wave-influenced band with a name remarkably similar to the "Carrie's Gone" singers was a big pop hit
La Roux - Bulletproof
Following "Woman" and "Joker and the Thief", this proto-Greta Van Fleet band had my #2 song of 2007 with "White Unicorn"
Wolfmother
The cover of this single by this metal band was too death-looking for us...thankfully, Casper came to the rescue
Ghost - Dance Macabre
Remember when this INDIE. band got to #1 on 20hitz? I know "some nights" you wish you didn't
Fun.
The Prince of Darkness teamed up with another 70s icon for this 2020 ballad about not wanting to die an ordinary this
Ozzy - Ordinary Man
It wasn't good enough for Brian Eno, but the first solo single from this Killers frontman was good enough to be my #8 song of 2010
Brandon Flowers - Crossfire
This metalcore band may have been called Eighteen Visions, but no one could have seen them doing a hair metal ballad like this, my #3 song of 2007
Broken Hearted
This hot Toto remake wasn't even the only Toto remake this year from this band...it's just the one that wasn't released as a single.
Weezer - Rosanna
She sings for Skid Row now, but before that she had my #12 song of 2012 about missing "this"
Halestorm - I Miss the Misery
Dirty Honey
You could listen "all night long" to your library, you'd probably forget this rock and rool band even had this top 10 active rock charter and my year-end #6 song of 2010
