An attempt for a top10.

4) Placebo - Burger queen francais

9) Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows - Tales of the inverted womb
10) Orphaned Land - Norra el Norra


Coming very close:
Manic Street Preachers - The masses against the classes
A Perfect Circle - Brena
The Smiths - How soon is now?

Psssst... that's more than ten...

Yeah, that's why I'm not even trying to answer this question. I can list my top ten records of all time, with a great deal of effort, but even that tends to turn into a "Top 13" and then a "Top 30"!

Just trying to think of what my top 10 favorite songs would be makes my brain hurt. I could only make a top 10 songs list if given a theme (Halloween, or cars, for example), and even then it's really hard! It's hard enough to fit all my favorite songs on a given theme onto a 90 minute mix tape! Sometimes I have to make a "Volume 2".

Not necessarily in order:

1. Dir en grey - "Obscure"
2. Marilyn Manson - "Come Black"
3. Nine Inch Nails - "Hurt [Live ReAct Now Version]"
4. Rammstein - "Mein Hertz Brennt"
5. Blaqk Audio - "The Love Letter"
6. Evanescence - "The Only One"
7. Evanescence - "The Last Song I'm Wasting on You"
8. E Nomine - "Mitternacht"
9. Snow Patrol - "Run"
10. Straylight Run - "Hands in the Sky (Big Shot)"

I absolutely love the song "Run" by Snow Patrol, it is one of those songs I listen to during a bad day and that somehow always lifts me up even after having listened to it so often. Fantastic song.

Hahah, yeah. XD You've got good taste, man...I remember that about you. APC kicks arse.

www.apcfans.com - run by myself

It has been very quiet so far but it exists only since a few weeks and with APC on hiatus it is difficult to find lot of websites to put hyperlinks to the forum, so promoting the forum is hard. But if you know APC fans, please do refer to the forum, I still hope it will get active sooner or later

Brena - best love song over. I also adore The Hollow.

In no particular order:

"Chasing Cars"-Snow Patrol
"In the Air Tonight"-Phil Collins
"Rocket Man"-Elton John
"I Get Around"-Beach Boys
"Bohemian Rhapsody"-Queen!
"I Fought the Law"-The Clash
"We Are The Champions"-Queen
"Californication"-Red Hot Chil Peppers
"Without Me"-Eminem
"My December"-Linkin Park

Californication, Bohemian Rhapsody, I Get Around, I Fought the Law and Rocket Man are some of my favourite songs
