Top 10 songs of 2019

[Geoff]

Not too keen on songs from albums yet to be released in 2020, but really, whichever way you roll. Here are my top 10 songs from 2019 (from albums released in 2019);

1. Degreed     -    Summer of Love

2. The Defiants     -    Hollywood In Headlights

3. Emarosa     -    Cautious

4. Nitrate     -    Night Time City

5. The Defiants     -    Fallin' For You

6. Awaken I Am     -    The Stages of Grief

7. To the Rats and Wolves     -    All the Things

8. Nitrate     -    Only A Heartache Away

9. To the Rats and Wolves     -    Down

10. The LRW Project     -    Hell & Back

 

11. Lovekillers feat Tony Harnell     -    Hurricane

12. Hardware '86     -    Share This Love

13. Lovekillers feat Tony Harnell     -    Higher Again

[Glen]

Well firstly it must be said that a lot of the best songs I heard this year were singles from 2020 releases. 

Fact.

but pure based on releases this year this is my top 30 in no order -

Degreed - Summer of Love / Body of Work

Crazy Lixx - it's you / Weekend Lover / Wicked / Never Die

Work of Art - all 11 songs 

Defiants - Fallin For You / Hollywood / Stay / Alive

Cats in Space - Thunder in the Night / Unicorn

91 Suite - Starting All Over / Perfect Rhyme / Nothing Left For us

King of Hearts - Don't Wait

Emarosa - Cautious

Krezip - How Would You Feel / Sweet High

 

What surprises me is the more I listen to Work of Art the more perfect is seems - miles the best release this year and all 11 tracks deserve to be there and would prob all be in my top 20 !

Also whilst I really liked Nitrate & First Signal no NEW tracks really stood out enough to crack a top 30. I say new cos the 3 or 4 we already knew on First Signal are of course killer tracks but we knew these so seems unfair to include what are essentially covers.

Agree with Glenn in that a couple standout singles in 2019 are from 2020 releases as H.e.a.t in particular released two great songs that would be in my top songs of 2019. 

I always have a tough time listing my favorite songs and ranking them is even tougher.  I'd say my ten favorites in no particular order (from albums released in 2019) might be:

Pretty Maids - Will You Still Kiss Me/Firesoul Fly/Undress Your Madness

Degreed - Summer of Love

Crazy Lixx - Silent Thunder/It's You

Defiants - Hollywood In Headlights/Fallin' For You/Standing On The Edge

Roxy Blue - Collide

Degreed - Summer Of Love is for me miles ahead as the best track released last year.

Couple not yet mentioned the Lebrock singles "Bright Lights" "Takes All Night" and "Interstellar" are brilliant also.

of course they are but we are excluding singles aren't we??

those 3 lebrock songs are stellar

[Geoff]

I get your points on the singles, dudes, but for the sake of flawlessness, which is what we are striving for with this all-important thread, it's just easier if the tunes are songs from 2019 albums. Otherwise, when we do the vitally important best songs of 2020 thread, they'll all be the same songs as the 2019 one!

Anyway, like I said, do as you wish. The worst you'll get is an uninvited lick on the bottom from Karpetface when I unleash him. 

I know there's only a couple of replies in this thread, but I feel like there'd be as close to a consensus as there's ever been that 'Summer of love' is probably the coolest tune of 2019. Just a monster tune. And I'd bet 'Hollywood in Headlights' would be the fellow spotlight sharer for most too. Couple of true standout songs in 2019, far as I can tell. 

[Gotthardline]

Too many for a top 10 so I’ll do 20

Written by wolves - Be careful what you wish for / better luck next time

Throw the Fight - Awakening

H.e.a.t - Rise/ one by one 

Awaken I am - stages of grief / indifference 

Otherwise - Picking at Bones

Crazy Lixx - Wicked

To the Rats and Wolves - Down/cheap love

Enmy - You / shadow of the night 

H.e.r.o - fall apart together / human 

 Coldrain - side effects  

Skillet - finish line / reach

Crashdiet - The Maze

Siamese - your not alone

Think I heard they are working on more music , probably just a handful of singles though , seems to be the route a lot of bands are going these days

Their singer has left since this song was released though and I love his voice

pretty sure they released another song recently with their new vocalist but it didn’t really grab me
