As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.

Year: 2012

Music Selections: I realize that it is only September, but I've come to the end of my Music Mondays My Years posts.  So I thought I would end them with some of my favorites for this year so far.

1. Florence + the Machine "What the Water Gave Me" -- Such a beautiful song.  This is hands down my favorite song on the album.
2. The Black Keys "Gold on the Ceiling" -- Who doesn't love The Black Keys?  I would take them home any day.
3. Green Day "Oh Love" -- While I wasn't that excited about 21st Century Breakdown, I am loving this song...
4. David Guetta feat. Sia "Titanium" -- This is my summer song.
5. The Shins "Simple Song" -- Another favorite band. I love this song way too much and James Mercer's voice is to die for...
6. Jack White "Sixteen Saltines" -- I really must buy this album. I love everything Jack White does.
7. Santigold "Disparate Youth" -- I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I love the music behind this one.
8. Mumford and Sons "I Will Wait" -- I can't wait until the new album. I already pre-ordered it on iTunes.
9. Alex Clare "Too Close" -- A relatively new find for me. Love his voice.
