Submission history
New beginnings
- The Ecstasy Of Gold - 2004 RemasterEnnio Morricone - Instrumental - #5 - 9 points - The epitome of western epics
- Burning ManDierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne - This isn't me - #3 - 13 points - Country is the genre I listen to the least. Had a friend play this during a trip through Joshua Tree and it stuck with me.
- Loved You A Little (with Taking Back Sunday and Charlotte Sands)The Maine, Taking Back Sunday, Charlotte Sands - Rediscovered - #1 - 16 points - A combo of rediscovering Taking Back Sunday and some new artists I hadn't encountered before in this collab.
Music Through the Decades
- good 4 uOlivia Rodrigo - The Lost Decade - #2 - 9 points - Modern music is my blind spot.
- Fall to PiecesVelvet Revolver - Time Traveler's Choice - #3 - 9 points - Released in the mid-2000s, harkens back to the late 80s/mid 90s of this combined band of guns and roses and the singer from stone temple pilots
- We Didn’t Start The FireFall Out Boy - The 2020s: Soundtrack to the End (or Beginning) - #2 - 10 points
- You Need To Calm DownTaylor Swift - The 2010s: Internet Aesthetics - #3 - 8 points - A song about internet trolls basically
- Beautiful DayU2 - The 2000s: Guilty Pleasure or Secret Genius? - #6 - 5 points - This song was absolutely everywhere in the early 2000s. Looking back on it now I still think it's one of their better songs and stood the test of time.

Beginnings
- A Praise ChorusJimmy Eat World, Davey Vonbohlen - If At First You Don't Succeed - #1 - 12 points - The third album from Jimmy Eat World made them a staple of the pop punk scene in the early 2000s with their single "The Middle". This is my favorite song off that album.
- Dream OnAerosmith - Original - #3 - 11 points - Probably the first instance of sampling I could recall. Dream on was sampled by Eminem on his song "Song for the Moment"
- Mr. Blue SkyElectric Light Orchestra - Summer Starts - #6 - 6 points
- In the EndLinkin Park - Beginnings - #10 - 2 points - There can be no beginnings without an end...or maybe the beginning of the end? But does it even matter?
- All These Things That I've DoneThe Killers - Debut - #4 - 11 points
Hey DJ!
- Desolation RowMy Chemical Romance - Cover Me Badly - #10 - 2 points - I like My Chemical Romance, but this is the worst cover I've ever heard - turning an eleven minute folk masterpiece from Bob Dylan into a three minute pop punk song that completely misses the point.
- Killing In The NameRage Against The Machine - $@#?! - #4 - 10 points
- First Dateblink-182 - The Big Ask - #3 - 10 points
- Miss SarajevoPassengers, Luciano Pavarotti - Tongue Twists - #7 - 7 points - U2 released this album under the pseudonym Passengers with this track on it featuring Pavarotti
- Hollaback GirlGwen Stefani - Guilty Pleasures - #7 - 5 points - This song is more in the hate column than the love one, but I still find that bananas part really funny and catchy.
Change of Pace
- We Don't Talk About BrunoCarolina Gaitán - La Gaita, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz, Encanto - Cast - Stop, Wait a Minute - #9 - 0 points - This one was surprisingly hard for me. I went with this one, with alternating energetic and quiet verses. Also the song foreshadows that (spoiler) Bruno was in the house the whole time!
- ANTHEM PART 3blink-182 - Better-than-Okay Boomer - #6 - 8 points - Blink182 was my first favorite band when I was a kid. They broke up for a while and got back together recently and actually put out a decent album.
- Crazy On YouHeart - Not Horny Enough - #4 - 12 points - Let me go crazy (horny) on you
- Don't Let Me Be MisunderstoodSanta Esmeralda - Horn-y - #9 - 6 points
- SexyBack (feat. Timbaland)Justin Timberlake, Timbaland - Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - #4 - 11 points
- Fuck YouCeeLo Green - Good Riddance but also I Need You Back - #3 - 13 points
Movie Music Magic
- The Sacrifice of Faramir (feat. Billy Boyd Performing "The Edge of Night")Howard Shore, Billy Boyd - Favorite song sung by a character in a non animated movie - #9 - 7 points - Denethor is heartbroken by the death of his favorite son Boromir and resentful at his younger son Faramir for living. He send Faramir on a suicide mission to retake Osgiliath. Newly appointed squire, Pippen, sings this mournful song during the attack.
- No Time for CautionHans Zimmer - Favorite background score to a dramatic moment - #2 - 12 points - From Interstellar - the scene where Matt Damon blows up the space station and Matthew McConaughey has to save it. The score perfectly ratchets up the intensity along with the action while Hans Zimmer goes absolutely HAM on the organ.
- I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - From "Armageddon" SoundtrackAerosmith - Favorite song used in a romantic moment in a movie - #1 - 15 points - From Armageddon one of the two movies in 1998 about an asteroid on its way to earth. The scene where Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler are together before the mission starts. The movie never did quite explain why they would train oil drillers to be astronauts instead of training the astronauts to be oil drillers.
- Elephant Love Medley - From "Moulin Rouge" SoundtrackNicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, Jamie Allen - Favorite song from a non-animated movie musical - #4 - 11 points - From Moulin Rouge movie. Loved the song when I first watched the movie, and loved it more over the years as I became more familiar with all the songs that make up the medley.
- PortalsAlan Silvestri - Thriller - a song from a movie that gives you the chills - #5 - 9 points - For a pure moving going experience, watching the recent Avengers movies on opening night with 300 other fans is hard to beat. For a specific song, I went with the scene where all the heroes return for the final battle with Thanos. Still get chills thinking about that scene!
- How Far I'll GoAuli'i Cravalho, Disney - Favorite original song from an animated movie - #1 - 19 points
- Star Wars (Main Theme)John Williams, London Symphony Orchestra - Favorite movie title song/theme song - #8 - 8 points
