"I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab For Cutie
Found on the album "Plans" released in 2005
I love, love, LOVE this song! It's quiet, cute, short, sweet, and to the point. If you've never heard it, I promise you won't be disappointed.

"Champions of Nothing" by Matthew Good
From the album "Hospital Music" released in 2007
I really like and respect those artists who are able to create those longer songs that have so many different parts and seem to really tell a story. This is one of those songs. I remember that after the first time I popped this album into my car and listened to track 1, "Champions of Nothing" the only thought that came to my mind was ... wow...

"Kids" by MGMT
Found on the album "Oracular Spectacular" released in 2008
Another song that must be added to this list of mine that is pure summer! I've loved this song since it first hit radio-land last summer and believe it will be always a part of my summer soundtrack.

"Alright" by Pilate (now known as Pilot Speed for legal reasons in the US)
Originally found on the album "Caught By The Window" released in 2003
This is an incredible song by one of my favourite Toronto-based bands. Todd Clark's voice is so absolutely amazing and almost haunting in this song --- but in the best way. Yes, it is a sadder song, but it's still most definitely list-worthy. Give it a listen!

"Superman's Dead" by Our Lady Peace
Found on the album "Clumsy" released in 1997
I think it's safe to say that this is the song that really made OLP big and REALLY made my fall in love with the band. Yes, their debut "Naveed" was incredible, but when "Superman's Dead" was released, the band seemed to gain a whole new type of fan based that has remained with them to this day. An epic song for an epic band.. well, in my eyes.

"21 Guns" by Green Day
Found on their new album "21st Century Breakdown" that was released in May of this year
A fairly new single for Green Day that is still blasting through radio-land. This is the type of Green Day song that I just love and will love for many years to come.

"Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve
Found on the album "Urban Hymns" released in 1997
The mid to late '90s was a great time for music. At least for my generation. This song was a key component to that time and definitely belongs on this list.

"Big Me" by the Foo Fighters
Found on the band's self titled album that was released in 1995
Let's take another step way back into the '90s. Classic Foo Fighters material and a song that will absolutely never get old. Short, sweet, to the point, and I love it.

"Praise You" by Fatboy Slim
Found on the album "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" released in 1999
How can you forget the crazy, yet awesome video Fatboy Slim did for this album back in 1999? (If you've never seen it, please go to YouTube now! I'm sure it's on there somewhere. I promise you'll get a good laugh out of it.) The people in tights, the horribly awesome dancing? Oh those were the days.. each time the video would come on Much Music, my mom and I would take our positions in the middle of the living room floor and dance along with the people in the video. Every time I hear the song, I think of those hilarious moments my mom and I shared. And hey, video aside, 10 years later, it's still a pretty wicked tune.

"Rock Me Now" by Metric
Found on the album "Grow Up and Blow Away" released in 2001
I absolutely LOVE the vibe of this song. It's really not like most of the songs on this list so far as it just has such a chill-type of vibe to it and it's definitely not really like anything else you would have heard from Metric. Seriously - check it out!

A fun and catchy tune by another great Canadian band. Yet another song that is pure summer. If you have never heard it before, give it a listen and enjoy!

"Float On" by Modest Mouse
Found on the album "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" released in 2004
This song is summer. Plain and simple. The tempo is awesome and it's just so smooth going. One of those songs that is just perfect to crank in your car when driving with the windows down.

"I Miss You" by Blink 182
Found on the band's self-titled album that was released in 2003
One of the more mellow songs from this band, and in my opinion it's definitely still worth listening to 6 years later. Thus, it definitely deserves a spot here. :)

A great song that must be added to this list of mine. I liked the song from the first time I heard it and still love it to this day. I remember absolutely loving the video for this song so much when it first came out that I had taped it on VHS so that I could watch it over and over!

"Hey Jude" by The Beatles
Released as a single in 1968
Pretty much any song by The Beatles is timeless. I love and respect all of their music and what they have done for the music industry. "Hey Jude" is most definitely one of my favourites. For a little bit of change of pace.. try listening to the version done by Jim Sturgess and Joe Anderson for the movie "Across The Universe". They do an amazing job!

"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead
Found on the album "The Bends" released in 1995
Let's take another ride back to the 90's.... one of the classic Radiohead songs. I love it. And to make it even better, every time I hear this song, I think of the movie "Clueless" because Cher made fun of her step-brother Josh because he was listening to his cheesy college music. hehehe Love that movie!

A cute song - short, sweet and to the point. By one of my favourite Canadian bands. Worth listening to if you haven't heard it before.

"Save Your Scissors" by City and Colour
Found on the album "Sometimes" released in 2005
I am not really a fan of Dallas Green with his Alexisonfire project, but his solo work ... love it. This guy has one hell of a voice and his songs are all great. This has to be one of my favourites and it definitely deserves a place on this list.

"My Favourite Book" by Stars
Found on the album "In Our Bedroom After The War" released in 2008
Another great song, by a great band -- formed with members of Broken Social Scene. This is another band who I was introduced to in my university days. I remember them playing in the campus university center in the middle of a day for a free show once! Oh how I wish I could go back to those days sometimes. This is a nice melow tune that helps to showcase a few of the things that makes Stars so great.
