It's December. That means we're approaching the deadline for SLS10. I'm going to assume readers of this blog are familiar with SLS, or Smells Like Sour if you prefer the elongated title. For those in need of a refresher course, here's the last update.
I've muddled through all the SLS submissions and come up with 80 minutes of what I deem to be the best tunage from the previous six months. If you're interested in what made SLS9, you'll find that detail here. Keep in mind, the following list of tunes for SLS10 is not final. I am but one member of the selection committee. The following is my favourite 80 minutes for the second half of 2003.
- Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire
- The White Stripes - The Hardest Button to Button
- The Strokes - 12:51
- The Distillers - Drain the Blood
- Disturbed - Liberate
- Linkin Park - Faint
- Puddle of Mudd - Away From Me
- Outkast - Hey Ya
- Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
- Godsmack - Straight Out Of Line
- The Salads - The Roth Kung Fu
- Stone Temple Pilots - All In The Suit That You Wear
- Blink 182 - Feeling This
- Hoobastank - Out Of Control
- Hot Hot Heat - No, Not Now
- Trapt - Stillframe
- Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki
- Billy Talent - Try Honesty
- Staind - So Far Away
- Nickelback - Someday
- Three Days Grace - Just Like You
- P.O.D. - Will You
- Finger Eleven - One Thing
I'm very interested in what tunes you'd leave off this list and what songs you'd add. You can Contact Mike and let me know, or if you're passionate enough to want to write a Guest Blog entry, be my guest. I'll post the final SLS10 songlist just before Christmas.
