Jeff's Top 10 Songs With Good Bass or Top 10 Songs To Test Bass

And now, a time-waster post!

I really enjoy songs that can successfully implement a strong bass sound without letting it rule the song.  These are all songs that I love to listen to with Bass boosters on full blast.  With the clear exception of the Beatles' "Come Together" these are relatively new songs.  Jem's is the second oldest on the list and it was released at least since 2002.  This isn't comprehensive for all songs ever.  It's only songs in my current iTunes library.

The List Explained:
1.  "24" by Jem  I really enjoy Jem's bass sounds that she implements.  This song is the hardest rocker that I've heard from her.  I used to love blasting it in my mom's old car that had a nice sound system.  I probably like it solely for its bass-rock power.
2.  "Come Together" by The Beatles is a great example of a song with a great bass-line and well-implemented strong bass sounds.  This isn't my favorite Beatles song, but it is the best for bass.
3.  "Neckbrace" by Ratatat  Ratatat could really have multiple entries on this list, but I limited each artist to only one.  This song is one of my favorite from their Lp4 album that was just released.  It's a cool mixture of bass sounds.
4.  "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" by LCD Soundsystem I like this song solely for its ongoing strong bass-line.  It's pretty funny as well.
5.  "Animal Backwards" by Minus the Bear The first time I heard this song I was in my friend's Jeep with the volume up.  When I heard it with his sweet system, it was awesome.  Now when I listen to it compared to some of these others the bass-line is a lot less pronounced.  Blast this one.  It's a great song though.  And from a band I had previously written off.
6.  "Curse" by Imagine Dragons It's like a cardinal rule that I absolutely must include Imagine Dragons on every music list I make lately, but I really love this song and its bass.  This is still probably a top 20 favorite song of all-time for me.
7.  "Gone Daddy Gone" by Gnarls Barkley I'm not a huge fan of Gnarls Barkley, but this is a fun song.  It has a really cool sound to it.  I first heard in while watching Chuck.
8.  "Undisclosed Desires" by Muse This song isn't my favorite Muse song, especially because of its interesting lyrics, but it is a downright cool sounding song.  As with most new Muse, it's well-crafted.
9.  "Good To Sea" by Pinback I really like the bass-line of this song.  This is just an all-around cool song.
10.  "Numbers" by Great Northern Not the strongest of bass, especially on this list, but I do like the sound of this one.

Well, that's it.  Hope you found something new!

STALKER

Don't ask about the title. It randomly made an appearance in one of my texts today.

"Thank goodness you're here Mesmerized-by-Moving-Objects Man!"
Random "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" quote that I just heard.

Alright, now that I've gotten most of my randomness out for the moment, today I listened to a couple songs on my iPod that I've long thought of as potential stalker anthems. So I've decided to compile (with the help of some friends (trust me, some of these songs are NOT in my music collection)) a list of the TOP TEN POTENTIAL STALKER ANTHEMS:

10. "Endlessly" by Muse
9. "I Would Walk 500 Miles" by The Proclaimers (The VERY dedicated stalker.)
8. "I Love You Anyways" by Travis
7. "I'm The Man Who Loves You" by Wilco
6. "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie (One of the ones I listened to)
5. "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" by Morrissey
4. "Invisible" by Clay Aiken (my friend played this for me, and yes, it is VERY creepy)
3. "Every Breath You Take" by The Police (This was another one that came on my iPod)
2. "Johanna" From Sweeney Todd (my friend played this for me and pointed out that he sings about coming in through the window and being next to her or something)
1. "Blinded" by Third Eye Blind (The lyrics about him going in her house even though he knows he's not supposed to and watching her in her bathroom, and "look down on you for an hour" are VERY creepy stalkerish things.)

I've just realized that very many love songs have potential to be stalker songs, but I think this is a pretty good list. I just searched the internet to see if there were any songs that I've missed that are critical, but I think this list is good as many of these songs were on others' lists. Pardon the creepy nature of this song list, I just think it's kinda funny.

Before I go, I need to announce that Vermont is the lamest state in the United States. Ok, that's a bit harsh, but I've been watching my Google Analytics for this blog for over 3 months now, and Vermont was the last state for me to have a visitor from. It took forever! I'm proud to say that I now have had visitors from all 50 states and Washington D.C.. Quite the accomplishment. (Might as well toot my own horn.) Also, since I started using Analytics I've had 53 different countries visit this blog. I'm pretty much amazing is all I'm trying to tell you.

Really, I just wonder what random person in Namibia cares about my blog enough to visit. I must have somehow tricked them into thinking it was a worthwhile visit. K... well... see ya.
