Songs Marching Forward Into...


Rob

Foo Fighters - "Breakout"



Mr. T

Hank Williams Jr. - "Family Tradition"



G-Man

Atmosphere - "The Waitress"

Was chatting with Dano about this one earlier today. Great track, which also features one of my favourite artists Tom Waits. You can faintly hear him doing some beat boxing over the track. I love how unassuming that is for a great, well known artist. When hes featured on a song, he doesn't need to be front and centre, just as long as it adds something cool to the track


The Beach Boys - "Kokomo"

You don't need to ask. You already know. Get there fast and take it slow.



Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"



AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long"



Dano

The Knife - "We Share Our Mother's Health"



Jonny HP

Nine Inch Nails - "Starfuckers, INC."

A Faint & Falling Soundtrack


Rob

The Fully Down - "Descent, Rebellion & All Around Hell Raising"


Mr. T

Toulouse - "C'est Toujours A Recommencer"


G-Man

Disturbed - "Stupify"

Went with a true "Song of the Day" this week. This one was in my head all morning for some reason and I was instantly reminded of my early College days when this came out. Circa 2000 maybe? Early 2001? Great times back then indeed.


Doug

Dua Lipa - "IDGAF"


Dano

Nirvana - "Sliver"


Nirvana - "Breed"


Jonny HP

AWOLnation - "I Am"

Break-up Tunes / F U Songs



Yeah Valentine's Day just passed and love surrounded everyone for a day, but for some it's a day where all the happy couples shove their matrimony right in our face. We here at Song of the Day Fridays are bringing some ant-venom to your Valentine's hangover. Break Up songs and F U Songs!

Rob

Three Days Grace - "Human Race" 


Mr. T

REO Speedwagon - "Time For Me To Fly"


G-Man

Damien Rice - "Rootless Tree"

Seems like I went a bit of a different direction than Rob and Mr. T. You might be surprised to see a mellow song slinger like Damien Rice on a list like this and I too was a bit surprised when this song came on when I bought his second album 9. But it's great and sometimes you just need to scream it at someone. NSFW


Eamon - "Fuck It (Don't Want You Back)"

A classic F U track. Maybe one the first self-made internet musicians. This one held the Guinness Record for most expletive deleteds in a #1 hit. Might still hold that honour.


Doug

Toby Keith - "Big Blue Note"


Barenaked Ladies - "The Flag"


Dano

Fever Ray - "Keep The Streets Empty For Me"


Fever Ray - "When I Grow Up"


Jonny HP

Tool - "Swamp Song"


Honourable Mentions

The Greg Kihn Band - "The Break Up Song"
Huey Lewis & The News - "If This Is It"
Against Me! - "We're Breaking Up"
Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love"
Lily Allen - "Fuck You Very Much"
Alanis Morrisette - "You Oughta Know"
Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"
Ben Folds Five - "Song For The Dumped"

G-Man

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - "How Near How Far"

Don't know why these guys popped in my stream of thoughts the other day, but I decided to check out some of their top tunes and damn, not sure how they got by me. This album Source Tags & Codes will be added to my collection shortly


Doug

Lykke Li - "Time In A Bottle"


Dano

Fear - "I Love Living In The City"
