10.

Okay, so since I got some positive feedback on my last playlist, I decided I'd make another. Rules are the same: listen to them all, just give them one chance. Again, they're posted as Song / Artist.

1. The Boys of Summer / The Ataris: Since it's summer, I think you should have something perky like this on repeat. Don't even think about getting the Don Henley version, or I'll kill you. This remake is one of the few that's better than the original.
2. You Really Got Me / Van Halen: It's just catchy as hell.
3. Lunacy Fringe / The Used: The Used is rapidly becoming one of my favorite bands. This song gets me though. And I don't know why.
4. Hypnotize / System of a Down: In the first few lines the song mentions Tianamen Square. In 1989, there was a Tianamen Square massacre when students in China protested their government. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. It's really fascinating.
5. Chasing Cars / Snow Patrol: This happens to be one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are so simple but so perfect for any day. So yeah, listen to it. Because it's awesome. And because you know you want to.
