Selena's #7

I think it's time to make a stop back in the USA. How about Massachusetts, which is where this heavy metal band is from.

Off of their 2004 acoustic album "The Other Side"... Selena's number 7 song is .. Godsmack ~ Running Blind

" Searching for nothing Wondering if I'll change I’m trying everything But everything still stays the same I thought if I showed you I could fly Wouldn't need anyone by my side Now I'm running backward With broken wings I know I’ll die"

What do you get when you mix one of the most recognizable grunge/ alternative rock voices of the 90's (Chris Cornell) with one of (arguably) best and unique guitar players of this generation (Tom Morello?

" Once upon a time, I was of the mind, to lay your burden down, and leave you where you stood. you believed I could, you'd seen it done before. I could read your thoughts, and Tell you what you saw, and never say a word. But now all that is gone, over with and done, never to return."

" Don't admit you're sick Let your fit body bury it The faintness that you feel Is nothing permanent Don't buy the sickness on TV You want your help, they want the fee You see the ads and start to think "I feel it coming on" No, no target market television Telepharmevangelism Symptom finger"

" Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark Drinking in the lounge Following the neon signs, Waiting for a roar Looking at the mutating skyline The city is my church It wraps me in the sparkling twilight"

Ryan's #5

This next artist is from Hawaii, so it would make since he might be put in the surf music category. I would put this song more in the singer/songwriter category. Making his second appearance in a top ten, and off his 2008 album Sleep Through the Static... Ryan's number 5 song is... Jack Johnson ~ All At Once

" Which way will you run When it's always all around you And the feelin' lost and found you again A feelin' that we have no control Around the sun Some say There's gonna be the new hell Some say It's still too early to tell Some say It really ain't no myth at all"

Ryan's #6

Our next artist is an eletropop band that got their name from the "Variety's language Dictionary, a glossary of Variety's frequently-used slang, which was provided by the Hollywood Insider publication to help not-so-savvy readers decipher its content. The magazine used the term to refer to drive-in theatres, because of their privacy and romantic allure for teenagers." (Got to.love the Wikipedia) This song is from their 2009 album Manners. Ryan's number 6 song is .. Passion Pit ~ Little Secrets

"now painting rainbows on my ugly face I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace but I ascend and serve my feverish need within the confines of such chemistry let this be our little secret no one needs to know we're feeling higher and higher and higher higher and higher and higher"
