5. Gunslinger- Avenged Sevenfold
4. 1979- Smashing Pumpkins
3. Given to Fly- Pearl Jam
2. Man of the Hour- Pearl Jam
1. Stockholm Syndrome- Muse


Muse are my favourite band of all time, but something about Pearl Jam(in particular Eddie Vedder) just makes me stop everything and listen

 

[Tassiemariner]

Butterflies & Hurricanes - Muse
Fools Gold - The Stone Roses
Are You The One? - The Presets
These Days - Powderfinger
Anthem For The Year 2000 - Silverchair

Really any song by Silverchair, Powderfinger and Muse could of been in there but those ones are appealing to me at the moment.

As a side note, anyone else vote in the All-time Triple J hottest 100 recently?

I was at that concert. Our bus got bogged and we had to wait for a replacement. The irony of watching 'Speed' on a bogged bus that can't go anywhere was priceless. Brilliant show. I have now seen PJ 8 times and they keep getting better.

2. The Slab - Hunters & Collectors

2. Panama - Van Halen
3. Highway to Hell - AC/DC
