While I still vastly prefer Radiohead’s first 3 albums to the rest of their catalogue, a few of their newer songs (ie: released in the last 12 years) are starting to grow on me.

#songoftheday: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps
Songs like this are the reason why I got so into Rock Band on the PS3. Outside of iTunes and the radio, I can’t think of anything else that’s introduced me to as many new bands and artists.
#songoftheday: Passion Pit – Let Your Love Grow Tall
Over the years, I just keep coming back to this album. Very few acts before or since have managed to strike that perfect balance between electronic engineering, and the playing of physical instruments.
Throw in some solid harmonies and you’ve got music that while intricately engineered, still comes off sounding sincere and genuine.
#songoftheday: Beck – Missing
Guero was definitely one of those “pleasant surprise” purchases. I honestly knew nothing about Beck at the time, outside of the fact that I really enjoyed E-Pro.
#songoftheday: Bee Gees – This is Where I Came In
I’ve received more than a few confused looks over the years, anytime I’ve said that my favourite Bee Gees song came out in 2001.
#songoftheday: Audioslave – Show Me How to Live
Supergroups are never really built to last, but I always enjoyed Audioslave for the time that they were around. The combination of Rage Against the Machine’s funk-metal sound with Chris Cornell’s top-tier alt-rock voice always seemed like a winner to me.
Bonus points for the Vantage Point footage in this music video too.
#songoftheday: P. Diddy feat. Black Rob and Mark Curry – Bad Boy For Life
I’d completely forgotten about this song until it came on during the drive back from my sister’s wedding.
Let’s hear it for random mix CDs, and friends with eclectic taste in music.
#songoftheday: Sum 41 – The Hell Song
What other music video has special appearances by AC/DC, Alice Cooper, and the Spice Girls?
Learning how to play the main riff to this song was one of my proudest moments in grade 10 guitar class.
#songoftheday: Good Charlotte – Little Things
The rest of the world may associate this song with Good Charlotte’s debut album, but for me, it’ll always be track 7 on Soup’s Punk Mix vol. 2.
#songoftheday: Third Eye Blind – Bonfire
Seeing a new Third Eye Blind album in HMV was a bit of a shock in 2009. The fact that I enjoyed it just as much as their older material, left me even more pleasantly surprised.
