When we started coming up with this list I thought that it would be easy to come up with 100 songs that have defined the last decade of my life. Then the more I thought about it the harder it became to weed through the past ten years of music when you have listened to music for every one of those days.
Trying to find out what number 100 was going to be was just as hard as trying to figure out what number 1 was going to be. You don't want to come out guns-a-blazin' and blow your load before the list even begins. On the other side, you don't want to come out too soft with a korn cover of a limp bizkit song or something ridiculous because you are too scared to say "this is where the list starts, anything that doesn't make it on the list now is worse than this song. "
So here it is boys, kind of an oddball choice in my own opinion. Listening to Tim Kasher's voice growl through the chorus brings back so many memories of riding with my friends in high school and screaming the lyrics at the tops of our lungs. I recently went and watched them in New York and it just wasn't the same. It has been almost ten years since this album came out and the years haven't been kind to them. But when I put on my headphones and press play to the album Domestica and that guitar riff kicks on, I forget that those ten years have passed and I'm suddenly 17 again with the rest of my life ahead of me.
