Neon Trees @1 + Mine =

Check my top if you want some new music

I like the video of closer to the edge, I usually like concert videos. Savage Garden - Afirmation, Coldplay - Fix you, Paramore - Careful, etc

Thank you! I'm trying to find songs for my countdown that are new that I can put on here so I'll definitely check your countdown out. And I love Closer To the Edge! It's one of my favorite 30 Seconds to Mars songs, and the video is pretty cool too.

I'd suggest Domenica - Above Me or Threadspinner - Night Chorus. Great stuff.

i give 3.5/10 for the top 10

8/10

My Best Theory

Bring "The Catalyst" back
