The Year of the Top 10

If you didn’t know, I like ranking things. I especially like ranking songs. My cousin has a internet rock show and asked me recently to be the music critic. So this year (and maybe longer) he and I are ranking our Top 10 songs from various rock bands that he picks out each week.

So far it’s been fun (one week wasn’t my favorite though) and it gives me an opportunity to listen to music from a band all week. I have so much music I can go years without listening to a particular band or album. So I’m having fun with it immersing myself in a band for a week.

So I thought I would go ahead and post my Top 10 songs each week here. You can also see them by following “The Riff with Jack Trash” on Facebook.
