(those of you who aren't in the U.S. might be out of luck. The track list is here in case you're REALLY that interested!)
I was going to wait until the end of the year to post this, but considering how distracted I get lately, I should probably just do it now. :D The following are the songs that raped my iTunes the most this year.
The Black Keys - Howlin' For You
Heard in many a trailer and film in 2011, this song is as fun as a shoplifting spree without the jail time.
The Runaways - Cherry Bomb
Holy shit, an oldie. I discovered the Runaways this year thanks to the feature film (Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, I love you -- I hate Twilight, but I love you). These ladies were rocking before I was born, but damned if I care. I may be late to the party, but they're still relevant.
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
The original is just fucking sexy. The remix (closing the playlist) makes me want to race cars and punch people. It feels fantastic..
The Black Keys - I Got Mine
My husband and his band play this song so regularly that I forgot it was a Black Keys song. I heard it enough when he first got the vinyl, and I think hearing it for 4 hours a day for weeks straight wiped that from my memory. It's still a badass song.
Led Zeppelin - When the Levy Breaks
At last, Cory can see that I like one classic rock song and will get off my fucking back. But on the serious, I was surprised how much I loved it -- even though my first time really listening to it was decades after the album was cut.
The Strokes - Under Cover of Darkness
Julian Casablancas is a god on his own, but with the rest of the Strokes he's elevated to cosmic levels. This is my favorite song from the newest album, Angles, and the video is equally awesome.
Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch
Silversun Pickups are, essentially, a less catchy Mew; too bad no one else seems to know who Mew are. This song, while sticking to convention, is a fun distraction. Plus, the lead singer sounds like the guy from Kill Hannah. I've never bothered to Google and find out if it's the same guy, but if it is, you would not see my shocked face.
Julian Casablancas - Out of the Blue
An old favorite from Julian's solo album. I've heard it probably 50 times, and it doesn't seem to be getting old anytime soon.
Florence and the Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)
I admit, I've given FatM a fair shake several times, and on the whole, I never managed to become a massive fan, but this song really gets me. It's gorgeous, and you really don't find poignant lyrics like that these days.
Marina and the Diamonds - The Outsider
I can't lie; Azelyn introduced me to Marina and I absolutely love every single track from this album. That hasn't happened to me since Tori. The Outsider is one of those tracks you hear the first play-through and you rank it somewhere in the middle, only to come back later and decide it's completing for #1.
3oh!3 - Don't Trust Me
A guilty pleasure, this song. 3oh!3 is, as Cory puts it, what the Lonely Island would be if the public had no idea they weren't serious. I don't know what it is about "Don't Trust Me", but it's catchy and it makes me laugh at the same time as being a song I can forget is silly. The version in the playlist is the weird cut with some rap in it at the beginning only to cut into, y'know, pretty much the normal song. Why do people bother doing that? X3 oh well. You get the gist anyway.
La Roux - Bulletproof
Another guilty pleasure. La Roux is like Eurhythmics meets the new millenium club scene, perhaps less Annie Lenox's fierceness. It's still fun.
What do I want for Xmas? Anyone who wants, make me a playlist. :D Think of things that remind you of me, my characters, or what-the-hell-ever. :D It costs nothing and it would mean a lot to me.

I'll check the rest out :D
I also like Florence and the Machine's "kiss with a fist" it's a really upbeat song for what it's written about
haha. furries. i make a journal about something that requires effort on their part and one person responds. :D thanks though. i appreciate it. any other suggestions?
The "Howl'n for you" music vid was funny. I added the song to my playlist.
Sure, I'll suggest a few:
Belleruche - Clockwatching: http://youtu.be/McB94T7kdMs
I really like the mood and the lady's voice. It's something different in my day to shake up the mix.
Bleed 2 Feed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-4q6FMtwEU
Not a huge fan of the show, but I liked this particular track.
The White Stripes - Conquest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L7FuA8Rry8
The original version of this song rocks too.
Thanks for get'n back to me :P
Don't trust me used to play at work. It was a guilty pleasure song for me too haha
