3) “Sober And Irrelevant” • In Flames • A Sense of Purpose “This is still one of my top 10 albums since it came out in 2008. This is an awesome song. Great melodies and super heavy.”

5) “To the Teeth” • Ani DiFranco • So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter “All right, I admit it. I love Ani. She’s a badass songwriter and guitarist. This particular song tells a little truth and has a powerful message, much like a lot of her songs. Ani DiFranco. Not just for lesbians anymore!”
