My Second "Top Ten"

3 - The Fratellis, “Costello Music” (US Release, March 2007)

Late in 2006, Paul (my boyfriend) and I heard “Chelsea Dagger” for the first time, and we were hooked. We’re ‘80’s kids from way, way back, and as far as we’re concerned, there’s nothing better than a great throwback song that you can dance to.

Sure, “Flathead” has been used to death in the “I Pod” ads, but no matter. This is what I like to call “pub rock” at it’s best.

There’s no need to think about the meaning of the lyrics…well, you can, if you like, but you’d be better off just thinking about yourself in some dark little pub in London dancing to these guys.

Oh, and if you ever have the chance to see these guys live, make sure that you move the earth to do so.

4 - Amy Winehouse, “Back To Black” (US Release, March 2007)

She’s a total mess, a train wreck just waiting to happen, but you cannot deny her talent.

Her songwriting, along with that old, soulful voice just may be the last CD she ever does, but boy, does her voice move me.

She’s one troubled person, but when she’s got it all together, she makes incredible music.

And, 5?

I have one spot left for this second top three, and I haven’t decided yet which one it will be.

But, with that said, my top three have been decided!

Let me know what your “Top Ten” are.
