Doc Indie Party Rock top 224 of 2021 (Ride complete)

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

It's finally unleashed. The most retro sounding year end countdown of the year. It's an all genre melodic, catchy and loud rank down of my favorite songs of 2021. You will run into  Pop, Alternative Rock, Eurobeat, Italo, K-Pop, AOR , Spanish Rock/POP, tons of hard rock and all other types of music that get my adrenaline going. All songs that charted in 2021 will get a slot. There are some that charted late 2020, but only their points for 2021 will count. I'll put an * on songs that are still currently on the chart. I have 60 songs on my weekly chart so a song gets 1 point for #60 ,2 points  for #59 and so on. Obviously the crown position will get 60 points for every week it spent at #1. I do it this way to be fair ,and not end up putting all DIAMANTE songs in my top 5. tho I am tempted.   Breakdown is as follows: PNTS Points gained for 2021. WOC (Weeks on chart) (PP) peak position will stay the same and as an extra I show the song's chart run. I'll post some videos, but not all otherwise the page will take eons to open up. That's your briefing now Sit back , grab you favorite six pack , binge on junk food and enjoy. Warning: head bopping, foot tapping and sing a long may occur.

Saw that at a weekend-long bachelor party. Had that 80s horror film, but look with a modern vibe. It was odd that Cage has ZERO lines in the film...

Some of you might think you just experienced a "Mandela Effect". I actually did start off with 225 songs, but lost one on the way.  The song order still stays the same all the songs just moved up a slot. The good news is that if your favorite song was destined  be #101, well now it is has moved up a slot to #100. We will start off with that lucky song once we hit the Top 100.   Now let's check out the last 28 songs that just missed the top 100.

Enuff Z'Nuff - Fatal Distraction

For real? The actual... OK I'll let it go. I need to check this one out.

A Flock of Seagulls - Say You Love Me

Still doing the orchestral remakes I see. Cool.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

All right let's get this top 100 underway. we start off with #100. This is probably the luckiest song on the chart this year. Just a few days ago I realized due to a clerical error my #100 song was vacant so every song got pushed up a slot. This is the song that just missed the top 100 songs of the year until tonight. In retrospect it was a pretty uneventful song , by an otherwise awesome band ,but if by some coincidence it is your favorite song of the year than rejoice because it goes from #101 to #100. BTW how many songs can you spot that sound like the 80's.

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

never heard that Boy Harsher song, I like it!

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Welcome to the top 50. It's all about how many points your racked up here. All of these were at least Top 20 peak songs. Going for at least 25 reveals so let's see how far I can get before I implode from too much melody.   First up is an iconic Spanish rock band that has had YE chart slots on this list for over 20 years. I know at least one member will be psyched to see them on the list. This song got its chart run split in half, but was able to submit the half that counts.

One slot shy from Top 10 action is my favorite K-Bop of 2021. Is it of no surprise it is titled "Feel Good" 






                                                                                                        TOP 10 of 2021


let's get right into the Top 10 songs of my music year. These are the songs that made the most impact on my charts with the best music videos(if applicable). Some became my ring tones. Some are still my ringtones. To star it off is an artist who has overcome all music industry obstacles. Including being dropped by a major rock music label. They said "our way or the highway" and she went her way. promoted the hell out of herself online and on tour, and released her online album to online gargantuan sales. Award for most inspiring music idol of the year goes to DIAMANTE and her 'American Dream' album.

Sung to precision by Luca Torchianni of Delta records label fame. This was one of the biggest Eurobeat songs of 2021 rides on a fierce Aleph -like style melody. Giancarlo Pasquinni must be wishing he had written this fire.

Favorite new artist medal goes to Kan'd's Chez Kane for her solo album produced by Danny Rexxon of Crazy Lixx who both reside on Frontiers Records. Just listen to those vocals. 





*Before I reveal the top 2 songs I would like to confirm that we are still in 2022. All these jams that sound like they came from the 80's Feel like 2021 really knew what music I was craving and delivered. One band left with two entries on this year's list and they are both from Tokyo Motor Fist. The two premier members are Steve Brown from Trixter fame and of course Ted Poley who took Danger Danger to the airwaves in 1989. Their second album on Frontiers Records is  Lions and was first released in 2020. As of this date I have charted 4 songs off the album. All have gone top 3. These next two went all the way to number one. The first is a Powerballad done in Bon Jovi/Warrant style. and the #1 song is  Def Leppard style driven monster anthem. first get your lighters out and then raise your devil horns and Rock out!.

I hear Def Leppard's "Photograph" in here. No wonder it is my #1 song.





I love the way that jam fades out giving closure to 2021. So there you go. 124 songs that got my adrenaline pumping and faith in music kicked into 5 gear. I hope 2022 can continue this high streak of great sounding music and based on some of the new discoveries I came across while posting this I believe it will be even stronger.. I would like to give thanks to PULSE FORCE for riding along with me. I hope your music year was as exhilarating as mine was. See you next year. Same fierce ride same melodic channel.
