As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy! More rock songs to enjoy today...
Fuel "Million Miles" -- Saw them in concert circa 2004. Very fun and I just love this song.
AFI "Miss Murder" -- I was student teaching when this song came out. My students were impressed that I knew who AFI was. We had a music day. The song has stuck with me.
Alkaline Trio "Calling All Skeletons" -- Saw them in concert with Blink 182 and A New Found Glory. And one of their friends was an acquaintance in college. Great song!
Linkin Park "Crawling" -- My hands-down favorite Linkin Park song. Now one of my boys loves them.

These are the songs that I got stuck in my head this past year. I love each an every one of them. Yes, even the Bruno Mars song. Enjoy getting them stuck in your head! Plus, an extra little treat for you.
I've been a fan of Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory. They're not particularly deep. They're not particularly emotional. But they do have good music to listen to in the background. It's also great driving music. I love singing along with the windows down! This week's selections comes from the iTunes Festival. I had to purchase their set right away. And definitely this is my favorite song from the set.
Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):
[Mike:] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady something empty's within them We say yeah with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear
[Chester:] Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty roomTrying to forget the pastThis was never meant to lastI wish it wasn't so
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
[Mike:] What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again
[Chester(till end):] All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got
[Mike:] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady something empty's within them We say yeah with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it let it all disappear
And a special little treat for you: Their cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"
