These are the songs that got the most play on my iPod this year, that came out this year.

10. Evanescence 'Call Me When You're Sober'
Amy Lee's soaring vocals, the kick ass choras, the dizzying insturmentation all come together on one HOT song.

9. The Killers, 'When You Were Young'
The video was so hot for this song!

8. Pearl Jam, 'Parachutes'

7. Tom Petty, 'Saving Grace'

6. Damien Rice '9 Crimes'
From Rice's latest album, it's haunting and engrossing -- everything we've come to love from the reclusive songwriter. "Is that alright with you?"

Hear it.

5. Lupe Fiasco , 'Daydreamin''
Which features the golden-voiced Jill Scott.

4. Amos Lee, 'Sweet Pea'


3. Incubus, 'Annamolly'


2. Jenny Lewis, 'Handle With Care'
The entire solo album from the Rilo Kiley frontwomen knocked my socks off, but this cover featuring Bright Eyes is a gem.


1. My Chemical Romance, 'Welcome to the Black Parade'
With this tune, it was love at first listen. I'm usually a sucker for snare drums, sure. But this epic, stadium rocker had everything.
