Rodrigo’s Top 15 Favorite Singles (2013-I)
15. The Lonely Island – Spring Break Anthem
Read my thoughts on the song here.
14. Killswitch Engage – In Due Time
The lead singer has been changed, but Killswitch Engage still knows how to make good songs and this is one of them.
13. Union Cinema – Can’t Get Rid Of
I found out about this song by random chance [MV]. It’s also available in Spanish [1], Korean [2] and French [3]. Interesting and unusual way to make a single debut, but it works well enough for my ears thanks to its UK-influenced alternative rock sounds.
12. Paramore – Now
I have no idea how Paramore of all bands ended up here, but the song got stuck in my head and it’s one of the few songs I actually like from them.
11. Soil & “Pimp” Sessions with Shiina Ringo – Koroshiya Kiki Ippatsu
First time I ever listened to Shiina Ringo was through the final Tokyo Jihen album Color Bars, which was fun to listen. Anyways, Koroshiya Kiki Ippatsu is a fun song to listen to.
LOL, I have only heard The Stars (Are Out Tonight) and Get Lucky :P
@mirella, Not even the songs from Justin Timberlake and Kanye West?
@Rodrigo, I have heard of them existing, but I haven’t listened to them :P
@mirella, You’re serious? Both are unavoidable… on the web at least. I can’t remember any local radio playing any of the songs here except for maybe Doble 9 playing Out Of My League, Get Lucky, Can’t Get Rid Of and Hit Me.
@Rodrigo, lol apparently I have easily avoided them xD
@mirella, Until Tom Hiddleston recommends them.
@Rodrigo, Nah, he only recommeds hipster music xD His musical taste is something I usually don’t agree with… except he does like Daft Punk. But I listened to the latest album before he recommended it.
It still made me laugh when he sorta recommended Nicki Minaj’s Starships.
@mirella, I remember the Minaj thing from your diary, lol. One day, he might suggest something from here.
I think I might have three or four matching tracks. I think it’s cheating, though, that MVs influence your picking of a song ;P
@amy, Now that you mention MVs, I didn’t pick Bad Motherfucker (which I forgot about it while making this). This list will change a lot by the end of the year, lol.
I don’t think we’ll ever match in songs (but some of the top songs, we might). One, I’m not into the Asian music scene as you are. Two, you don’t care about the stuff I might like.
@Rodrigo, true, true. It’s gonna be interesting to see everyone’s top lists, but you’re all so lazy to put them together sometimes hahaha
@amy, Juan always has his Top 25 film lists going on. Should I unleash my Top 25 of 2011 and 2012? Maybe as blog posts since it’s late for it to be feature-worthy.
@rodirgo – sure, go for it!
Get Lucky wins again
@giacomo, Still a fun track. Dunno if it’ll hold the #1 spot after the year ends, but as of now it is my #1 pick.
