I think a lot of my guilty pleasures are in the Worst Artist list  but one thing that is great to see is that horrible Icona Pop so high.

Feedback Section:
MP2K-Thanks and glad that you understand my frustration with Paramore even though it bummed you out a bit.
Adr-Yeah Miley has that effect to capture you for a moment with her songs like the ballad of Wrecking Ball.
activebeast-Thanks. As soon as I can. Feel bad that I haven’t comment on yours yet.
Nimrod.-He may be a bit talented, but not all that special either.
dimaspettigrew-Miley wants to do what Miley wants is get easy coverage. Shameful, but she wants it that way to get famous.
josh_923-Like the artist you love that you named like Nate, Em, & Lorde. Oh, yeah thanks I intended to get like this since most of them deserved it anyway.
TheSeenScene-See the main ATRL-ers are not the only ones to dish the sh!t out. Glad that you are enjoying Tamar's music. It means a lot.
mathuss-I just couldn’t get into PP’s songs, but his music is alright. I don't get the appeal for Jake Bugg at all.
Mr.Link-This is why I wanted my Worst list on the next page, but I got it done and just wanted to post it already. Glad that Olly gets love from you. Miley is so bad that she is not considered an artist of any kind.
Mr. Loco-Miley is on top of the world!
Brandon-Glad that you agree.
AshleeSimpsonFan- Another Z000-ssized post from ya. I'm so proud of my influences. Yeah that's what I was trying to say about Paramore- peaked, but album is not all that bad. Flo ruined Levels for ya and I feel bad that your dance love is keeping on getting ruin, glad that you agree about will.i.am's solo generic songs and he's only better in BEP. I saw that you really don't like Avril as much as Ed. Why is that so? I just don't like her music as much as others any way, but still. The Wanted do like to make music to party too, but I'm not really into them and they annoy me. What you liked those two songs from JB last year? That was his worst songs ever esp. the former. Yeah you get artists that for some reason you like on here. nice insight on Miley. Bangerz and clean Miley. This was a big great crapload of sh!t that I have listed.
nineteen-Glad that you enjoy Em's comeback.
backtoback-Yeah Miley is #1 and glad you hate the viral loser, the stupid kid and generic music solo artist.
t.A.T.u.-Such a ruling year of Lorde. All hail Lorde. Praise her.
Ricardo505-Down with those teen artists and generic music from party artists. Glad that you saw many of your faves in the best list.
Marnie-Those pop girls get more love and glad that you don't like 1D and JB.
Sunderland 4ever- A lot agree and a lot disagree.
Renzo-And you're on board with the agreement of what needed to said about Miley.
collin-Thanks and glad that you saw I mention CiCi is higher than most of the R&B girls.
Ivan-I needed to get the crap outta Avril and Miley is Miley. It's fine that you like Britney since she's makes those pop songs to like for some reason, but still glad that you agree that Britney belongs in the worst list.
Fireman25-Glad that you agree and lay it into will.i.am, Chief Keef, One Direction, and Justin Bieber. A lot of late for the latter two.
sumthintoxic82-That Homer gif! Oh yeah you're a major Brit stan. You actually like Work Bitch and I did say I like Baby I from Ariana. But still. Keep it coming.
berberocka- You’re another one that I don't mind saying you like those artists and wasn't expected you to agree with this anyway. However, glad that the best is where the real sh!t is at.
potentbreakupsong-yeah man all of your likes towards those pop bands who pretend to have some kind of rock facade that gets you in their mediocre and whiny overtones mistaken for actually emotion. Of course, those chicks ruin everything with their terrible dance songs.
Léo.-Not really expecting you to, just for me to give my frustrations towards them.
Darren-5-08-And so does everyone else that liked her Bangerz
Lee!!-you like those artists from my top artists list right? In that case, Olly gets some love.
It’s about time we start what is everyone waiting for. It’s the main dish that everyone wants to eat out off. Okay so everyone knows that has been following me aka following my countdown that I like to not only listen to a lot of music, I also like various kinds of music, I have comments that complimenting my diversity. This year-end countdown is based on the momentum of the songs that I enjoyed year-around and the sustainability of each song that it had with me. Of course, I ranked them randomly especially the top songs in the top 10 because they are all so great to me. I set songs in certain part, then decided among them who is best of that part or so. Also these songs are mostly singles of any way along with album tracks though most of those tracks are in the on deck section. If you had been following my countdown, then you already got an idea what’s coming up ahead (maybe not in a way you expect though it depends how I bring it) plus some extras that no one knows that I liked even looking through my countdown and comments to others. 2013 in music was good for the most part or at least I made it that way. Certainly it’s better than 2011 and the façade is much better and believable than 2010. Not as good as 2012, but it’s close enough. Still I enjoy the music this year very much. Without further ado, let’s get this started because it’s so cold, but mostly it’s hot in here so take off your clothes.

200 Say Something A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera
And I will stumble and fall. I’m still learning to love. Just starting to crawl.
I like to mostly start out the top 200 with a sad song of sort. I guess it‘s my thing to do to get my sadness and my darkest reality and realization out of the way. This song has a solo version, which is fine for itself, but I wanted to include the version with X-Tina since that‘s the one I‘m listened to the most so far. There are many ways to interpret this song, its meaning, and the lyrics and the way lyrics are being sung. In addition, you can make the song relate to yourself from your own perspective. Here’s mine. What I took from the song is that at times people give you changes to say something to them. Anything. As time go by, if people still see that nothing is said, then they will give up on you and let it as it is. And anything potential interactions between them will not grow and remain the same. As a silent and shy person, this is true to me since I usually alienate myself form others and don’t feel like talking even though some do. Stubbornness can also play a factor to this esp. in my younger years. As a result, they had given up on me trying to speak more. They seen me as just a guy who doesn’t want to speak. Saying something or not can make or break friendships and relationship between people. Other take-ins you can get from the song are failing to get someone to be yours, which I’m guilty of due to lack of communication and I’m sure I still learning to love since I know that I’m over my head and know nothing, failing to reach somebody or something for any reasons in time and anything involving comas, sick conditions and death, which reminds me of my great-uncle’s death by cancer. I think that there are more take-in, but I can’t think of them right now. These guys did a good job on this ballad. As of now, I’m still enjoying this song.
199 Red Nose Sage The Gemini
And she gon' shake it, like a red nose Li-li-li-li-like a red nose. And she gon' shake it, like a red nose Like a, like a, like a red nose.
Basically, it‘s saying for the girl to shake her ass like how a red nosed pit-bull‘s behind would when the pit-bull is shaken the things they are biting on like a dog toy. Actually, He did told her to shake it like red-nose pit-bull in the song. So people are doing the red nose dance and he’s a Bay Area native. That’s kinda the reason it made the top 200 just for me to say this and the Bay Area calls the dance yiking. Ok that’s not a good thing to be proud of so take it or leave it for this song and let‘s move on. It’s a jam at least and the Bay Area likes to have fun with it. Ok I will stop writing.
198 Waiting For Superman Daughtry
She says…“Yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late. He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day”. She says...If life was a movie, then it wouldn’t end like this. Left without a kiss. Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah.
Daughtry seems to not as popular as it used to be anymore esp. that they stop having every video of theirs as #1 in the VH1 countdown so that‘s an indicator that their popularity has faded. Also their music seems to have also changed a bit and doesn‘t feel like the classic songs that they used to make in their earlier works. Anyway this song is decent and I feel enjoyment out it. Basically, this song is just how an average woman would do or feel while waiting for her superman. Seriously, how can superheroes have girlfriends when they keep them waiting. Never works for Spider-Man. The only thing I have to nitpick during the oohs/ahhs is the music just breakdowns to dance influences style like dubstep would. Just a minor thing to note to further the point that their music has changed maybe to fit into today’s music trend or something. It‘s not bad, but I just saying though.
197 Old School Love Lupe Fiasco ft. Ed Sheeran
Analog black vinyl spinning sounding so good. Top down, can't be a classic if it's no wood
If you don't know what, then you new school. Floor model is the foundation for your YouTubes. Model flows off of Fat Boys and Juice Crews. Melle Mel's, Ice-T's, and the 2 Cools Add a Moe Dee and a Double L.
How Lupe and Ed got to working on this is that one day Ed was given beats and was told to write the choruses to them and he did. Lupe liked one of the choruses and that’s how this genius song came about. Basically this song is about how would a rapper around Lupe’s age would give helpful advice to a young up and coming rapper. The first verse is about a conversation between a current grown rapper or an adult and a young up-coming rapper or a youth about life in the music or life in general. The hardship of it that is. The current rapper would give advice of the perspective learned from the OG to the youth and someday the youth would give that same advice and perspective to the newer youths. It’s like a cycle. The second verse Lupe tell us some good old school stuff like the old-school rappers and their iconic flows and old school equipments like Vinyl and turntables used during the old school time and Lupe’s early beginnings along with the process of making a track. Also in this song, Lupe reminisces some old school time in his youth and in his early years as an up-coming hip-hop artist. The third verse is just Lupe telling the other rappers like Kanye to tone down the high mightiness and just give warm in your fire as in be more inspiring or positive instead of being cruel and cold. Overall great message by Lupe in this feel-good song where Ed sings the hook like a swoon. We gonna give some old school love to them-the ladies, the youngsters and up-coming hip-hop artists. And yes, I used the great Rap Genius to get the information I needed including some I did not know like the beef between Lupe and Chief Keef, which was pointless given the person Chief Keef is, but Lupe just tweets him that they should not be fighting and not be like goons. Can’t do that to the people they love and to themselves. Especially that those guys are from Chi-town and gotta stick together since the streets there is DOA. It’s better to give old school love than to make things worse and let the bullsh!t continue. Too much of that in the world already.
196 C’mon Ke$ha
Like I'm working at hooters. We been keeping it PG. But I wanna get a little frisky. Come gimme some of that yum like a lollipop. Let me set you free.
Honestly, mostly everyone knew including myself that this wouldn‘t do as well as a second single. Regardless, the song doesn‘t sound all that good, but it‘s still a decent bop. I enjoyed listening to the hook of the song and just following the music and K$’s vocals during that part. The other parts where she does her usual thing is fine enough, just not memorable. If the sound could’ve been mixed into a greater dance beat, then the song would’ve been more enjoyable of a song. Still c‘mon Ke$ha just wants to do it and am I your type Kesha? Got the moustache and goatee. Isn’t it doable?
195 Loved Me Back to Life Céline Dion
You woke me up, one touch and I felt alive. You loved me back to life, Back to life, thought I died. The voices inside were so quiet.
Céline Dion in her past notably in the 90s does meaningful and beautiful songs. I wonder did Dion released anything between 2007, where the good Taking Chances was released, and now? Anyway, I enjoyed this song on how Dion sings it with good heart and decent vocal range. It also speaks to me about how wanting someone back to life or give the drive to be the one to wake them from a coma. Also like it when it goes down to the end to know that the dramatic intense was there, but has been toppled. I..I..I just enjoy the vibe of this song and it gives some kind of life..life..life.
194 Y.A.L.A. M.I.A.
Go low, go slow. Roll like a pollo. Up and down a pole. Like you’re glowing up a yo-yo.
This songs just gives life and takes it to only give back again and just want to do it again. That‘s how I feel about this song. Really like the sound and electronic dance beats and other elements used in this song. I can just ride in the car or sit down in the library and just relax to this ear-crushing and M.I.A. style of sound. This is a great song to jam to. I appreciate the drums and other India instruments in this one. Time to breakdown this genius of a song and get more in-depth to see even more greatness to this one. M.I.A. did this song to express how lame YOLO is and badly overused this sh!t is and how doing the same sh!t is useless. The irony of this song is it‘s a club banger and you know how the music there does. This is a genius club banger since it’s a counter to YOLO. Where she’s from, they believe that life continues on as in reincarnation. BTW, YALA means You Always Live Again. During the song, she just says random sh!t she likes to do and referencing famous people on how she likes and does it. Now we have our YOLO songs ( The Strokes, Drake and The Lonely Island) and this YALA song. It’s all great and let’s just bang to this.
193 Who We Are Switchfoot
We were just kids. Just limited, misfit, itinerant. Outcasts singing bout the dissonance.
These guys are back again to make more decent music. This song is a joyful to listen along to and not thinking about anything but the carefree of the youth. This song does not over it do in its lyrics or sound. It‘s just a decent song to feel youthful. I like it for awhile until the magic is gone. This is where it lands.
192 Come a Little Closer Cage The Elephant
Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders. Will we burn or we just smolder. Somehow I know I'll find you there. Oooh, I wanna see if you can change it, change it. Still I know I'll see you there.
I enjoyed this song a lot in one point of time before it became one of those songs that lost its touch after a limited amount of time. In that enjoyment, I liked the different sound and how it captures me into listening all the way to the end and feel alright of the vibe I get from it. I don‘t know I just like it for all its worth.
191 Dots And Dashes (Enough Already) Silversun Pickups
Dots and dashes on the wall. You tell me about the falls. Of kingdoms and champions. You've seen a thousand times before.
Sadly this song couldn’t get a higher spot especially that this band is one of my faves. This wasn‘t a strong single, then again Alt. rock‘s third single gets ignored for some reason unknown to me. Still this song is one of my fav tracks from their album last year and enjoyed the echoes of this song and the tone of it as it goes on. The sound is semi-dramatic and the soft-low vocals reels me in a less-intense way. Its just a song that you can listen to and just like it and only wonder about the surroundings for awhile. It does have an eerie feeling as well. I’m already like this before it became a single and I just let me in easily. Later on, I got out of it after the video came late. I had enough already, but still a good song to this day.

190 Something I Need OneRepublic
Last night I think I drank too much, Call it our temporary crutch, With broken words I tried to say, Honey don't you be afraid, If we got nothing we got us (Yeah)
What’s a good way to get somebody to be with you? Judging from this song, it’s saying or singing we only die once so I wanna die with you, you, you, ooh ..ooh..ohh. I really enjoy this because I feel relax when listening to the lyrics along side the cheery and sorta inspiring sound. Is it cheesy? Yeah it is, but I don’t care about that in this one. Sure it’s the just us and we got us type of song, but still it got something I need and that is carefree joy. From a world of despair , I need that. When I want to get along with anyone, they got to have something I need. Yeah, I’m selfish like that. Nah, if we get along, then that’s fine enough, but still. When I want to be with a girl, something I need is patience, understanding, comfort, chemistry and a pretty face. And ass and boobs as a bonus. Mmm. Oh, I need to control my urge. This is a joyous song to like. Really I like mouthing you, you, you because I feel like to. Is YODO (or the lyrics sake, WODO?) the new YOLO? We get one life. Quick M.I.A., do a part 2 of Y.A.L.A. Not necessary, alright then.
189 Play Hard David Guetta ft. Ne-Yo & Akon
Come on baby and drop this, Scrub that floor and just mop it, Show these gangsters how you c**k block it, Don't care what you got in your pocket
The good time to enjoy this song is in the summer, which is what I did. Actually that is the only time l listen to this jam since it just disappeared. This samples a great dance classic, which is Better Off Alone. This song makes me appreciate that song some more so it‘s alright that it is used so that the new generation and other people get to hear that classic vibe. As for this song, it’s one of those party energy and work motivation jams. I liked jumping around and jamming to this one. This dance sound works this time for Ne-Yo, whose pre-hook and hook is my favorite part in this song. It’s good that Akon is on a sorta hit record again. His former glory as a hitmaker ended a long time ago. Those were the days. I enjoy Akon’s parts since he’s good at this type of thing.
188 Survival Eminem
And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut. And I look like I might just give up, might've mistook me for bowing out. I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself with a f**king knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt cause I just sh!tted on the mic, and I like getting cut, I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut cause I'mma fight 'til I die or win, biting the dust It'll just make me angrier, wait, let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting, now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, sl*t. It's survival of what?
This is survival of the fittest! Shady‘s back! The lyrics are just cray. Look how long that example lyrics from above is. That’s like almost the entire second verse! Em’s back in his great form again after coming back years ago to say he has survived the battle with drugs. Then again, he never left from rapping that is. Em is here now to challenge all the other rappers to see who are the best rappers to survive after this battle. Em is just bustin’ verses whatever he feels like to rap. Whatever is standing for something, how he will not quit and how to survive the rap game, his unpreparedness of fame, or just rapping like Em does it. It feels like a great song. As for who is doing the hook of this song, the album version features Liz Rodriguez, who does uncredited work for the likes of Eminem, Drake, Pitbull, 50 Cent & more, while the single version and live performance is done by Skylar Gray. Either way, both did a good job on the hook to make it the survival of the fittest important. Either version is in this spot. This song debuted exclusively by Call Of Duty for the Multiplayer trailer. This is where the song has survive up too.
187 The Other Side Jason Derulo
In the beginning, I never thought it would be you. When we were chilling, smiling in the photo booth. But we got closer, ‘till you were eating off my spoon. You're coming over, and we would talk all afternoon.
What I enjoyed most in this song is the pre-hook and the hook itself. It’s where all the action is in goodness. Interesting, there is a part in the song that reads Sparks fly like the Fourth of July. This is also can be used as Jason’s experience of getting Jordin Sparks to be his girlfriend after just being friends. It’s not only used for when there are sparks between lovers and those sparks can be compare to fireworks for Fourth of July. The sound is fine the way it is, but this is as far I can go into liking this song. This is to all the ones that wants to go into the next level, into the other side. From a platonic relationship to a romantic relationship. As in, no friendzone!
186 Out of Time Stone Temple Pilots ft. Chester Bennington
Loneliness is beautiful, it leads you home again. Happiness is overrated, joy is infinite. Liberate the hate you feel before it’s permanent. Smile when it hurts, it works like mother’s medicine.
Scott just ruin himself and forced to separate from the band again. Don‘t worry Chester is here to save the day to fill in. This song for the most part is decent and Chester does fine in this song alongside the STP music. It has a bit of a rush to it during the hook. After a while, the initial interest is gone. Still nice job by these artists. Let‘s fleet from this happiness before we‘re out of time.
185 I'll Follow You Shinedown
I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm. Don't worry I'll keep you warm. I'll follow you down, while we're passing through space. I don't care if we fall from grace.
This is just a fine song to enjoy the simplicity of following your loved one and what to do with that loved one. It just sets a nice scenery to experience what is said in the song. It‘s just a peaceful song to express light emotion to. It’s like you yearn for that emotion and yearn for that pleasure. Just want to echo your voice and get in touch with this soft song.
184 The Great Divide The Mowgli's
And when the sun brings in the morning. I know today will be better than the last. As I turn into the evening. I pray my dreams will come and I'll cross the great divide. Don't, don't go changin'.
It‘s just a good song to shout and have a sing-along with friends. Good guitar sound with alt. rock pop beats. It‘s the go-to song to let yourself loose and embark in an adventure. Have an outing or an exploration. It‘s just another positive insurance song to have in case you’re bored, but not enough to be annoyed and have some positive output. So do you want to cross the great divide?
183 ThisKidsNotAlright AWOLnation
I've been sleeping with these, I've been sleeping with these thoughts, man I've been contemplating singing them. So stand up, catch fire with me.
This song is part of the video game soundtrack for Injustice: Gods Among Us. All you need to know is THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT! Caps sucks, but I’m making a point. Which is to say that the best part of the song is to shout THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT! Let’s build this up just to say THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT! Just enjoy the craziness of this song and its wacky sound. I should’ve enjoyed this some more before. This Kids Not Alright is not correct grammar. Should’ve been these kids are not alright. Still this song needs no logic since the feeling is not alright so who cares.
182 Tennis Court Lorde
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane. I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space. But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames. How can I f**k with the fun again, when I'm known? And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them.
This song is just killing balls left and right. With its electronic epicness and the real sh!t that Lorde is serving out. While this song sets in a melodramatic way, Lorde is talking about the faults of fame in the way she does it. Lorde is now famous and must endure the crap that she talks about in this song like yeah, yeah. Can’t do the childish like the younger kids anymore like yeah, yeah, can’t f**k for just the pleasure of it like yeah, yeah , and can’t take a breather like yeah, yeah. Fame follow every moment and everyone sees it. Too much to think about and not letting the fame go into your head. Looked alright from the pictures, but it’s a lie. It’s not all it seems. Lorde just wants to fun in her own world and don‘t care about sh!t. My favorite part is the chorus where he’s the class clown and Lorde is the beauty queen and they talk it up like yeah, yeah. Did I mention that I like to say it like yeah, yeah. Seriously, yeah is all over the song except in the bridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, the video for this song has Lorde only lip-synching yeah. This is basically the more ecstatic, bizarre, haunting, darker and deep side of Royals. Lorde is setting this sh!t at the tennis court and talk it up like yeah, yeah.
181 Don’t Save Me Haim
All my life I wasn't trying to get on a highway. I was wondering which way to go. Spending all of my damn time. Leaving all the weight behind you.
The impress I got from listening to the song is that the woman does not want the man to save her since she‘s tired of him. As I look into it, the woman got tired of seeing the man and wants to go back to the earlier days where it‘s all new and well. Now unless the man is willing to care about this relationship, then the relationship is off and the man should not bother to save. She does not want it saved anymore since the man doesn’t care as she does. What’s the point. Not bad of a message. I do enjoyed this song with good ominous beats and chilling vocals that sets a different style of indie pop. A darker pop sound of it.
180 Monster Imagine Dragons
Ever since I could remember , everything inside of me just wanted to fit in (Oh oh oh oh). I was never one for pretenders. Everything I tried to be just wouldn't settle in (Oh oh oh oh).
And yet another song that is only a part of a soundtrack, which is for the video game Infinity Blade 3 Soundtrack. This song is a fun, catchy song to also think about. This is where the demons take over and the monster is born. Also it can looked as people not accepting the way you are and are upset by it and now you have become a monster! A monster! A monster! It’s getting stronger since you let get that way after all the negative got to you. Nice message that I can half the time relate to. I enjoyed this song as much as I can before I lost interest in it.
179 Came Back Haunted Nine Inch Nails
The throat is deep and the mouth is wide. Saw some things on the other side. Made me promise to never tell. But you know me I can't help myself, no.
These guys are back and Trevor has came back haunted from downward spiral of overdose drugs. He tells the feeling of it in the song, questions if he came back haunted and the sound gets crazy and that ominous feeling before the chorus. Overall nice comeback song. I enjoyed this mostly in the summer and the feeling for it has passed before summer ended.
178 My Number Foals
You don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now. The creed or the culture, we can move beyond it now.
These guys don‘t care to get numbers or give out numbers. Basically, they don’t need us in the city and our advice. Fine just let me enjoy this pop influence alt.rock catchy song. I want to have them ladies’ numbers and I want them to have my number. Let‘s just dance to this and not care about anything else. Sounds good doesn’t it?
177 Rough Water Travie McCoy ft. Jason Mraz
Sometimes I panic but I never take it for granted. I'll hold you 'til my lips turn blue like Jack in Titanic. And if I lose my grip, then just promise me this. You'll keep my love in a locket and always rock it, like.
We sail along the rough water. Mraz‘s vocals sounds different to get a mellow side to fit the feeling of this song. It’s not bad for this song. Travie does his thing in his song. Overall it’s nice song to relax and reflect the rough waters of a relationship. I like it as long as I can make it lasted before the interest is gone.
176 Primetime Janelle Monáe ft. Miguel
Tonight is me and you alone. Won't make a call, won't even write a song. See I've been waiting and waiting for the time to say now listen babe.
Let‘s finish off this night by setting the mood for a primetime. When I listen to his song, I immediately feel the vibe and mood this song brings and this slow R&B joint just makes a good feeling even better. I like anything part of the song whatever is Janelle is singing, or Miguel, or the two of them join together to sing this song right and have a primetime. They have been waiting for this moment to have their primetime spend together so they deserve it. The lounge just got more relaxing and much smoother.
What did you think about this first set of songs including the big On Deck songs? What did you think the way I started and anything else I have present to you?
Coming up is the Top 40 Bands of 2013: Part 1 [40-21] and until then, comment on this countdown.

In addition, you can make the song relate to yourself from your own perspective. Here’s mine. What I took from the song is that at times people give you changes to say something to them. Anything. As time go by, if people still see that nothing is said, then they will give up on you and let it as it is. And anything potential interactions between them will not grow and remain the same. As a silent and shy person, this is true to me since I usually alienate myself form others and don’t feel like talking even though some do. Stubbornness can also play a factor to this esp. in my younger years. As a result, they had given up on me trying to speak more. They seen me as just a guy who doesn’t want to speak. Saying something or not can make or break friendships and relationship between people. Other take-ins you can get from the song are failing to get someone to be yours, which I’m guilty of due to lack of communication and I’m sure I still learning to love since I know that I’m over my head and know nothing, failing to reach somebody or something for any reasons in time and anything involving comas, sick conditions and death, which reminds me of my great-uncle’s death by cancer. I think that there are more take-in, but I can’t think of them right now.

I'm ok with the close calls, there are some good songs, but none of them is my favorite.
First one that I like is C'mon! It's a nice song, but imo not 2nd single material, so sad that Ke$ha flopped with her album.
Come a Little Closer Survival was boring at first for me, but it's a grower, now I really enjoy that song.
The Other Side sounds like a 2009-2010 generic song, but it's catchy, I love it.
ThisKidsNotAlright is good too. Tenis Court, one of my faves songs from Lana! the music video is so simple, but I love it.
My Number is my favorite song by Foals! Rough Water is good.
To answer your question, Why I don't like Avril?
First of all her music, not good for me. 2nd reason.... her fans! They used to be so annoying, every single artist is a copy from her, I just can't stand 98% of her fans. 
Great set!

At least Phillip Phillips is only #25 on your worst list. I don't agree with that though 
Got some great choices!

16/25
Waiting for Superman is one of Daughtry's best songs, shame that it's flopping on VH1. Old School Love is amazing too
Wow I'm surprised that you put C'mon here. that one is so fun and likable, one of my favorites from Ke$ha.
Haven't heard that Mowgli's song but I'm certainly interested after what you wrote! sounds like Say It Just Say It and I love that one so much.
I'll Follow You and Don't Save Me are very underrated. Excited for the Bands set.

Say Something is so low. 
But I love the majority of your songs charted, you have great taste. I keep telling myself I'm going to get into new artists but I have such a big list now.
