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: 2008

Book: Hatter M Volume 1

Music Selections:

Coldplay "Viva La Vida" -- The boys and I sang this song all summer. It's still on my iPod shuffle.
Estelle and Kanye West "American Boy" -- There's something about this song that makes me want to get up and dance. Every time!
Kings of Leon "Sex on Fire" -- The song has such atmosphere. And this music video is just hot. I dare you to watch.
John Mayer "Gravity" -- He might be an ass in his personal life, but John Mayer's music gets me every time. I especially love this one.

Year: 2009

Book: The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks

Music Selections:

Lady Antebellum "I Run to You" -- Another LA song. I just really like them.
Green Day "21st Century Breakdown" -- A blast from my past. I remember listening to Dookie right after it came out and thinking "this is awesome." While my fanatical nature ebbs and flows, I always end up revisiting Green Day and checking out their new stuff.
Kings of Leon "Use Somebody" -- Great band. Interesting music. I love turning this on in the background and quietly sing along.
Owl City "Fireflies" -- The boys and I were obsessed with this song over the summer of 2009. Every time it would come on the radio, I had to crank it up and belt it out. The boys even sang along.
Kelly Clarkson "My Life Would Suck Without You" -- There's something about Ms. Clarkson's synthesized studio music... I sing along every time. I guess it's my guilty pleasure.
