What were your top songs of 2015?

[tts42572]

I know there is a big thread with talk about the best albums for 2015...But how about songs? I like going back through these kinds of threads when I'm looking for something new to check out and often it helps to know what people suggest at the best songs to check out.

 

Maybe list something like your top 5 to 10...

 

I'll admit I didn't buy a whole lot in 2015...But these are songs I find myself going back to and I guess were the first to jump in my head:

 

1) Dangerous - Def Leppard

2) Wide Open - Eclipse

3) Wings Of An Angel - Def Leppard

4) The Storm - Eclipse

5) Better Safe Than Sorry - Degreed

6) With Me Tonight - Station

7) Need You To Understand - Art Nation

8) Are You Sleeping Alone - Station

9) Apocalyptic - Halestorm

10) Midnight In Your Eyes - Trixter

[Geoff]

Martina Edoff - I Am Mining

 

Haha, even with those lyrics?!

 

14. ART NATION – Look To The Sky

 

Wow mate. And not just because everyone else hated it so much. I actually didn't... don't even think it's the worst song on the album. But this good? Too each their own, I guess.

 

I didn't hear a lot in 2015 that made my fav's list

 

1. Adrenaline Mob - All on the Line (Acoustic)

2. Avril Lavigne - Wish You Were Here (Acoustic)

3. Battatrox - Raised In Pain

5. Buckethead - The Moltrail Part 2

6. Buckethead - Phantom Steamboat

7. Buckethead - QZ 9

8. Cain's Offering - Too Tired To Run

Holy shit mate, what happened to you? You burst onto the site and seemed to have pretty good tastes. Sorry mate, but that's just a terrible list. You sure the music on this site is still where your heart is at? Doesn't seem like it. Seems like you actually kind of hate it...

[Dark]

Ok looking through what has been mentioned above i haven't the heard the following yet:

 

1. Eclipse

2. Cats in Space

3. Degreed

4. ISSA

5. C.O.P. (although it is on my player for this week)

6. Find Me

 

 

Heard but didn't think much of:

 

1. Def Leppard

2. Art Nation

3. Station

4. Care of Night

5. Halestorm

6. Revolution Saints

6. Santa Cruz

To each their own, mate, but if you think Buckethead and Avril Lavigne are releasing better songs than Care of Night, Santa Cruz, Art Nation, Revolution Saints and Station... I dunno mate. Not to point out the glaringly obvious, but you may have done your dash with this style of music?

 

Eclipse, Degreed, Issa and Find Me are excellent, and I don't mean to spoil the surprise, but you're going to hate them. Based on your recent commentary, trust me.

[Dark]

The guitar work in those Buckethead tracks is top notch. I'd not heard the acoustic version to that Avril track before and it was on a compilation released last year and i really liked it but i'm not sure when it was originally released.

 

Care of Night, Santa Cruz, Art Nation, Revolution Saints and Station are either too busy sound wise or just don't have that magic something to make my ears go wow. They haven't got bad tracks on them, they just haven't got great ones either to my ears.

 

2014 had a few gems that got added to my fav's. Adrenaline Mob, Ammunition, Amaranthe, Anti-Mortem, A Breach of Silence, Buckethead, Enabler, Eye of the Enemy, Fate Control, H.E.A.T., Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Slash, Tainted Nation and Toseland.

 

I don't think my ears are adjusting to the way modern melodic rock is being recorded nowadays

Always interested in your picks... just checked out a few of these I didn't know:

 

1. Is your number one song... is that the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish??? Okay tune, not in love with the country influence.

 

2. Bridge to Grace sounds good. I'll have to check out the album. Is it a good one?

 

3. Old Dominion sounds pretty cool - nice tune, but there's some country in that again, hey? Is the album all with this same influence of country?

 

4. Southern Gentlemen - love their stuff. Why do I not have this? What's the story with these guys again? They were another band and changed their name? Sounds great.

We found Bridge to Grace after someone posted

in the Modern Music to Check Out thread a couple of years ago. They finally got around to releasing a proper CD with some new tracks. I liked the two I mentioned. The rest didn't do anything for me.
