January

January 31, 2007: Billy Joel:Piano Man nominated by WillMak050389.

Easily my favorite Billy Joel song. It's melody is memorable and it really speaks about the drone of real life.

January 30, 2007: They Might Be Giants:Birdhouse In Your Soul nominated by Kiefer.

They Might Be Giants are known for their somewhat cryptic, playful, and tongue in cheek lyrics and the lyrics here can certainly be described that way. Any song that can work in Jason and the Argonauts, the Longines Symphonette, and a "little glowing friend" is sure to tickle the mind and cheer the soul...hopefully one furnished with a birdhouse.

January 29, 2007: A Perfect Circle:Imagine nominated by Wazzok.

A cover of the famous John Lennon song. It's anti-war, featuring on eMOTIVe. eMOTIVe was APC's response to the recent government policies of a number of nations, declaring war on pretty much anybody that opposes them. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"

January 28, 2007: Streetlight Manifesto:Point/Counterpoint nominated by Punching Kittens.

This song is the second part of the soon to be Keasbey Trilogy. Amazing use of gang vocals, quotable lyrics, auralgasmic horn parts and not to mention they slipped the word "cock" in there for good measure.

January 27, 2007: O-Zone:Dragostea Din Tei nominated by hbkrocker.

An internet phenomenon, this song deserves to be song of the day, to keep the "Numa Numa" spirit alive, right here on this site. A #1 single in many countries, a Song of the Day it should be.

January 26, 2007: Tool:The Pot nominated by Pfranson.

This song could be about just about anything -- *YOU DECIDE*. Is it about drugs? Is it about war? Is it a dig at people who don't like Tool? Only Maynard knows for sure. Plus, any song that can fit the words "cozened indigo" into the lyrics deserves a listen or two.

January 25, 2007: Razorlight:Vice nominated by Grumzz.

Many of you might know Razorlight from their no. 1 single America. But that's not the only song they've written, and by far not the best one. Vice for example. The single was released in a time that Razorlight weren't as known as they're now.. For me, this song represents the 'real Razorlight sound'; Rocky, indie, and goddamn great.

January 24, 2007: Nine Inch Nails:Every Day Is Exactly the Same nominated by 74.103.63.89.

This song has a nihilistic feel to it, which everyone can relate to every time they're down. It also helps you tune out of the world. Some of the lyrics are controversial and witty, which makes it interesting.

January 23, 2007: John Mayer:Belief nominated by Pfranson.

Powerful words with implications for anyone who wants any kind of change. The imagery at the end of the song makes me tear up every time.

January 22, 2007: Jamiroquai:Love Foolosophy nominated by 70.51.197.234.

Musical Abilities of this band aside, the lyrics, and melodic mastery of this song make it more than worthy of song of the day. On top of this, I think I am not being over confident when I say everyone is a Love Fool at some point in their lives, "So Maybe I'm a Love Fool, I don't want the world... I want you" such touching lyrics express that which many of us have thought in our lives, though many of us have so often failed to express it.

January 21, 2007: Slipknot:The Shape nominated by 70.51.197.234.

I love this song, awesome chorus and just keeps going from there

January 20, 2007: Right Said Fred:Stand Up For the Champions nominated by 199.126.218.38.

This song was a big hit in Europe and has a catchy jingle.

January 19, 2007: Snow Patrol:You Could Be Happy nominated by Elysia.

I love this band and think they are amazing. The lyrics in their songs are meaningful but not exaggerated. They're real and i love that. This song is one of the best for depicting a real life situation. The bands use of melody and pure vocal really make you feel the song.

January 18, 2007: Jellyfish:Ignorance Is Bliss nominated by Stupid.

This a great song that tells the story of Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach to try and get revenge on the Mario Bros. Not to mention the title is also great advice.

January 17, 2007: Billy Talent:Try Honesty nominated by Remiss.

This was their first popular song and might seem a bit angry and bitter. Nevertheless it's very catchy and deserves a listen!

January 16, 2007: Jellyfish:The King Is Half-Undressed nominated by Kiefer.

This was the first release for Jellyfish, the 1990's illegitimate love-children of The Beatles. The group was ahead of their time with their updated retro flavors and this song epitomizes that. The lyrics are wonderful, as is the music and video.

January 15, 2007: Brad Paisley:Whiskey Lullaby nominated by 64.33.128.62.

It is such a sad song. It is so beautiful.

January 14, 2007: Ween:Baby Bitch nominated by Kevin.

A beautiful, dreamy and emotional ballad which almost everyone with any experience in love gone sour can find a message in. Reminiscent of Dylan during Blood on the Tracks.

January 13, 2007: Andrew Lloyd Webber:Memory nominated by The Quidam.

One of the world's most beloved songs of all time. It's sweet melody and touching lyrics make it the perfect song. It's the perfect blend of poetry and music.

January 12, 2007: Queen:Somebody To Love nominated by The Quidam.

This song is a classic! The lyrics, the band, the tune! Everything about it just screams classic song!

January 11, 2007: Pantera:Shedding Skin nominated by 216.115.116.36.

Between Dimebag's slamming riffs and the explosion of Vinnie Paul on drums sets this song up for success.

January 10, 2007: Roper:Amplify nominated by Martinjester.

This is one of my favorite songs.

January 09, 2007: Dj Casper:Cha Cha Slide nominated by Crazeeflootgrrl.

Dances at the Teen Center and my school, this is one of the only songs that practically almost everybody dances to! Plus dancing with the music gives you a good work out!

January 08, 2007: Avril Lavigne:Nobody's Home nominated by Sean gorter.

When I saw the music video, I could've been heartbroken. It is just so sad! I also like the lyrics. They express how the girl feels; very well!

January 07, 2007: Regina Spektor:Fidelity nominated by Crazeeflootgrrl.

I heard it for the first time yesterday, and I can't stop listening to it. And it sounds so good! And I like it when she sings the heart part!

January 06, 2007: As I Lay Dying:94 Hours nominated by Blackdeath.

94 Hours, as well as being one of my personal favorites, is one of As I Lay Dying's best songs. This song got me into the vast depths of Hardcore punk/metal. The lyrics are very easy to relate to also.

January 05, 2007: Fergie:Fergalicious nominated by Crazeeflootgrrl.

I think the whole song sounds really cool, and it brings in a little Spanish which I think is cool!

January 04, 2007: Blue Öyster Cult:(Don't Fear) The Reaper nominated by Kiefer.

A rock classic from the 70's. Subtly sinister and mysterious. A Stephen King favorite. Also the song in of one of the best Saturday Night Live sketches ever. More cowbell, anyone?

January 03, 2007: Aqua:Barbie Girl nominated by Crazeeflootgrrl.

Ok, this song is probably one of my top favorites. It's on mine and my best friend's top 20 CD, it's what my ringtone would be if I had a cell phone, and it's just sooo much fun to dance and sing with!
