Well, look who's early to the party!
I plan on doing a "Guess That Tune" game a la WotUNeed. If you're familiar with rock/alt/Canadian songs then this is the game for you. I should be starting it soon.
Stay tuned!

The game starts soon! But first, a little backstory.
As you may have noticed, I made my year-end chart pretty early this year. Unless a musical miracle happens, I doubt my opinion on this year's songs will change in the next few weeks. Musically speaking, I found 2010 to be a letdown. I quit my personal chart late last year and haven't posted an official one on this site since. I had trouble even finding 100 songs to put on; I only have 148 songs from this year on my computer. That's almost half of what I have from the year before. To put things in perspective, for the majority of the year I had more songs from 1975. It was more relevant to me than music now.
That being said, there's gonna be a lot of 2009 carryovers on this list, to make things a little easier.
Let the games begin!

98 The Kelly Affair - /Be Your Own Pet? Woah, who said I was this cool? 92 Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man Right band, wrong song. 91 Crystal Castles - Not in Love Correct. 89 Cage the Elephant - Shake Me Down Nope. Assuming you meant 88, yes. No, but I admire you for even attempting to guess it. 76 Metric - Gold Guns Girls 74 Linkin Park - The Catalyst 64 Stone Temple Pilots - Cinnamon 62 Linkin Park - Waiting for the End 60 30 Seconds to Mars - Closer to the Edge 51 Passion Pit - The Reeling All of these are right. 84. Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted And Kelly's Lesbian Lover, clarksonislife gets the Kelly Clarkson song! 61. Metric - "Stadium Love" Yep. I was expecting you'd guess a couple more. I guess the easy ones are being snatched up. |

Thanks for sorting me out on 87-88. :)
Is 92 The Cave?
My other guess for 89 would be Black Keys - Tighten Up.

It's been used in a lot of commericals. 85. "Porn Star Dancing - My Darkest Days feat. Zakk Wlyde & Chad Kroeger Yes.  59. "Make Em Dance" - Helix Look at you go! 56. "Awake" - Crash Karma No, but it's been guessed correctly (twice). 55. "Take a Load Off" - Stone Temple Pilots 54. "Sing Your Heart Out" - The Trews And all that's left is lesser known ones (plus an Active rock top 10). If Nick ever peers his head in here he could get 71. You can dismiss the ones that have already been said, sorry, but I think I did pretty good That's an understatement. |

Is 89 Black Keys - Howlin For You? No, it's not the same artist. Same style of song though. It was released in 2009, and scraped the Alt top 50 in spring this year. The band's name is the opposite of light. Fun fact: when looking up this song on Pulse, I found one of penance's best posts. |

98. Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Dull Life"
50. Saving Abel "Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood)" ?
71. Agh! I don't recognize this one! With your faith in me, specifically, my best guess is Atreyu, although beyond a couple of COTD album cuts, I couldn't guess the song on that short of a clip.
66, on the other hand, is so f**king familiar it's killing me.

With your faith in me, specifically, my best guess is Atreyu, although beyond a couple of COTD album cuts, I couldn't guess the song on that short of a clip. On second thought, perhaps you might not know it. It's from an album released late 2009. It only had one single, but this was an unofficial "teaser" single. 66, on the other hand, is so f**king familiar it's killing me. It's from an album with lots of mixed reviews, but one that you love. |

Ok, let's extend! I'll throw in clues as well as extended clips, because chances are you might need both anyway. 99. www.zshare.net/audio/84002842224a950b/
This power ballad was predicted by some members to become a pop hit, but it flopped even on its core format. And it sounds a lot like Daughtry. Adelitas Way - Last Stand ( St. Nicholas2.0) 96. www.zshare.net/audio/84003465980f3364/
Their hitmaking days are behind them, but they still consistently release albums. This 2009 self-titled album prominently features a long-eared furry forest friend on the cover. The title of the song refers to what he might have to do in order to make a hole. Collective Soul - Dig ( halo19) 86. www.zshare.net/audio/84002915c139b44c/
This all-girl Canadian indie group has yet to break out in the States, but up here they have a loyal following. They toured with Matthew Good earlier this year. This is the fourth single off their 2009 album. It was also released as a single to Triple A, because I know what avid followers you are of that chart. Tegan and Sara - Northshore ( Radical347) 83. I'm just gonna go ahead and reveal the title of the song and you won't even know it.
www.zshare.net/audio/84002974dbdec107/
In retrospect, it's unfair to put a local band who's been played on an assumed total of three stations in a guessing game. I would have thrown this off as typical post-grunge fodder, but hearing it all the time on the radio made it really grow on me. The most I can tell you is that this was produced by Nickelback's former producer, and mixed by the same guy who did Skid Row's "Youth Gone Wild" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets"; in other words, it should be much better than it really is. Eldebrock - Release Me 78. www.zshare.net/audio/84003061d2bab1b2/
I'm just giving you the clip here. Surely someone remembers this. Hole - Skinny Little Bitch ( halo19) 71. www.zshare.net/audio/840030705c856f87/
I already gave some clues for this. In the thread for the official single, I actually suggested Nick listen to this after being disappointed with the lead single. I guess that's why I had so much confidence in him. As I mentioned, the album was released (very) late 2009, this teaser song came out in the fall. The album only had one single, probably because some of the members were releasing an album from their side project...heckyeah. Mudvayne - Beautiful and Strange ( crve015) 68. www.zshare.net/audio/84003155c187c5c0/
A minor Active rock hit from 2009, from a Christian rock band who has yet to experience Skillet-type success. Thousand Foot Krutch - Fire It Up ( crve015) 66. www.zshare.net/audio/840031739397b309/
Got it, Nick? Linkin Park - Robot Boy ( St. Nicholas2.0) 65. www.zshare.net/audio/84003184ba667459/
The lead single off their 2010 album from a Canadian band that's featured Emily Haines and Feist. Broken Social Scene - Forced to Love ( devin0) 53. www.zshare.net/audio/84003260d3ba3cfc/The band shares their name with a Tracy Bonham song. This title track off their 2008 album was released as the lead single but failed to chart. Their second single gave them a top 10 Canadian Alt hit, and they re-released this as the followup in 2009. |

I find that there's really only a couple misses that I "should" have gotten in the first clues. "Dull Life" is my second-least favorite song on It's Blitz! and I had no idea about its single status anywhere.
99. Collective Soul - "Dig"
78. Hole - "Skinny Little Bitch" (I would have mistaken this elsewhere on the clips)

"Dull Life" is my second-least favorite song on It's Blitz! and I had no idea about its single status anywhere. Wikipedia doesn't list it; I think it just garnered enough radio play to chart. 99. Collective Soul - "Dig" 78. Hole - "Skinny Little Bitch" (I would have mistaken this elsewhere on the clips) I think you meant 96, but yes, those are correct. |

66. Linkin Park "Robot Boy"
65. The New Pornographers "Your Hands (Together)"
And it's a moot point now, but it doesn't look like I've listened to that Mudvayne album since April.
I thought I knew the #99 artist, but when I couldn't figure out which single it was, I Googled the lyrics and got a completely different band. So I know what the song is now, but I don't know if this is cheating, since I don't recall ever hearing it before in my life.

66. Linkin Park "Robot Boy" Yay! 65. The New Pornographers "Your Hands (Together)" No, but that comes later. I thought I knew the #99 artist, but when I couldn't figure out which single it was, I Googled the lyrics and got a completely different band. So I know what the song is now, but I don't know if this is cheating, since I don't recall ever hearing it before in my life. It is cheating, but I'll let you post it, just to get it out of the way. I thought it would be much easier. |
