In a bid to find some more hidden DTF gems, what are your top 10 songs as of right now. No need to overthink it, this isn't your all time top 10, just 10 you're loving right now.

Let's see in no order.  Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Our Lady Peace's Clumsy, Somewhere Out There, and Innocent.  Still got Pay Money to My Pain on heavier rotation with songs like Drive and Weight of My Pride.

Other than that, nothing stands out at the moment under my rotation aside from the random songs from my Post-Grunge radio playlist, my Alt. Metal radio playlist, and my JPop/JRock radio playlist.

[hefdaddy42]

These kinds of questions are simply impossible for me.

[twosuitsluke]

Cheers guys. Some of these I know, most I don't. I'll give them all a good spin and see where you're all at 

These kinds of questions are simply impossible for me.

That's why I said don't overthink it. Not your favourite 10 songs of all time, just 10 that you are vibing with at the moment.

I've just been to the gym and will probably post another 10 that I felt the urge to listen to.

[Elite]

These kinds of questions are simply impossible for me.

Yeah, same

Here's 10 random tunes I've been listening to a lot for some reason:

The Cardigans - Lovefool
Anthrax - Only
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me
Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane - Freight Trane
John Scofield - The Low Road
Iron Maiden - the song that I have at #1 in the countdown
Wilderun - the entire Epigone album
Toadies - Possum Kingdom
Weather Report - Birdland
Rudresh Mahanthappa - Overjoyed

[hefdaddy42]

These kinds of questions are simply impossible for me.

That's why I said don't overthink it. Not your favourite 10 songs of all time, just 10 that you are vibing with at the moment.

Yeah, but I don't vibe with just 10 at any moment.  I listen to hundreds of songs every week. 

I don't know.  Maybe I'll take a stab at it tomorrow.

[King Postwhore]

He's not joking.  Hef listens to a ton of albums daily.  I see every post.  I'll think about this. 

[ReaperKK]

Lets see, off the top of my head in no specific order:

1. Kings Of Convenience - Summer On The West Hill
2. Animals As Leaders - Gordian Naught
3. Tool - Opiate2
4. Plaid - Zamami
5. Black Map - Madness
6. The National - 90-Mile Water Wall
7. He Is Legend - Time To Stain
8. Meniscus - Overhang
9. Jakub Zytecki - Sunflower
10. ASG - Good Enough To Eat

I'm totally with you dude, I devour more music than I ever have at the moment. I also mainly listen to albums but I have playlists of my fave songs, that I mainly blast in the car. My list consists of some new songs I can't get enough of plus older faves I am just enjoying again at the moment.

Honestly don't over think, just songs that jump into your head as ones your enjoying at the moment, it doesn't even need to be 10 songs dude.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Is it just because some of you almost exclusively listen to full albums straight through?  Prog rock/metal-oriented people are unusually likely to do that, and that could make selecting individual tracks more difficult.  My listening in general is probably half that and half personally curated playlists that are constantly evolving.  Picking 10 all-time songs is a nightmare of a task, but 10 at the moment?  Easy, I just think of which 10 seem most salient right now from what I've most been playing.  A few weeks ago it would have been a different list (though probably with a few overlapping), and in a few weeks it'll be different again I'm sure. 

The Cardigans - Lovefool
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me

That was so late 90s me.  No Doubt's "Don't Speak" would have made it a perfect trio. 

1. Kings Of Convenience - Summer On The West Hill
9. Jakub Zytecki - Sunflower

Good to see these getting some love.  Oddly enough, Zytecki is on two of the tracks on my list, "Trapeze" and "Paper Moon", and Disperse's "Kites" and "Enigma of Abode" are two tracks I considered for this week's top 10 because I've been playing them a lot again lately. 

[Bolsters]

I'm just going to post my 10 most listened to songs from the last 12 months from Last.fm:

1. Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
2. LeBrock - In Time
3. Falcom Sound Team JDK - Sunshine Coastline
4. Heart Healer - Awake
5. BT - If I Can Love You Right
6. Abstract Void - Wind of Reminiscence
7. Chvrches - California
8. Earthside - Crater
9. BT - If Memory Serves
10. Falcom Sound Team JDK - Gens D'Armes

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I'm just going to post my 10 most listened to songs from the last 12 months from Last.fm:

1. Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
8. Earthside - Crater

Considered these two for my own list, since they've also been on heavy rotation again. 

4. Heart Healer - Awake
6. Abstract Void - Wind of Reminiscence
7. Chvrches - California

Excellent albums, good selections, though my song preference is a bit different ("Back To Reality" and "Joy Night", "Into the Unknown" and "Come Out of the Shadows", "How Not To Drown" and "Violent Delights", for example).

Did you check out the new Kings of Convenience album? It's really, really good. As for Zytecki, he is probably one of the more innovate and fresh guitar players out right now. He doesn't go full glitch guitar like Tim Henson, there is a lot more melody to his stuff.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Yeah, I enjoyed it, but it's a tier or two below their previous albums for now.  That may change over time, their albums tend to blossom later than some. 

[nick_z]

I like this. A good excuse to list and talk about some tunes 

Um, let's see...if I'm thinking about songs that I've enjoyed lately in my random listening...mixing newer and older in no order whatsoever:

Khirki - Deadpan
Khirki - Raging Bull
Khirki - Medea
Iris Divine - Thirteen
Ghost - Kaisarion
Iron Maiden - Starblind
Bat For Lashes - Moon and Moon
Bat For Lashes - Daniel
Mastodon - Teardrinker
Emma Ruth Rundle - Shadows of My Name

Khirki are a Greek band, they released an album last year (Κτηνωδία) - I keep going back to it. Super-cool mix of modern and classic rock, folk-y melodies and lots of energy (almost punkish urgency at times, especially the first two songs above). There are moodier, slow-burn songs too (like Medea). Highly recommended.

Kaisarion is still one of my favorite songs of the year so far. Insanely catchy and SO well constructed.

I've rediscovered Bat For Lashes' Two Suns after a while...Moon and Moon is such a haunting song, and Daniel is probably the best Cure single The Cure never wrote  Speaking of haunting, the chorus in the Emma Ruth Rundle song is goosebumps all the way.

[lonestar]

He's not joking.  Hef listens to a ton of albums daily.  I see every post.  I'll think about this.

It's funny, I went to his timeline looking for a specific post and after a few  minutes of scrolling through songs he was listening to I said fuck it

[King Postwhore]

Honestly he should be a stand in for porn with his stamina.

[TAC]

Can we not put Hef and porn in the same sentence please?

[King Postwhore]

Too late you unfunny prude. 

[nick_z]

6. Abstract Void - Wind of Reminiscence

Excellent albums, good selections, though my song preference is a bit different ("Back To Reality" and "Joy Night", "Into the Unknown" and "Come Out of the Shadows", "How Not To Drown" and "Violent Delights", for example).

I've been wanting to check out Abstract Void...is this the album I should start with?

[RoeDent]

Ten songs I've been enjoying a lot lately, in no particular order other than that which I think of them.

Speed - Nicolo Bardoni
The Apologist - Ross Jennings
Remember Where You Are - Jessie Ware
The Winners - Francis Monkman
Dark Ambition - Nicolo Bardoni
Care - Marillion
We Close Our Eyes - Oingo Boingo
Melody - Kenjiro Sakiya
Shannon - Bend Sinister
Osaka Fall Season Nights - Jesse Cassettes

[twosuitsluke]

Cheers for all these guys. It's just nice to see what people are enjoying right now. I'm surprised by how many songs I don't know here, which is nice. I've chucked all the songs in a playlist and it's currently just shy of 7 hours.

I'm just going to post my 10 most listened to songs from the last 12 months from Last.fm:

That's basically what I did 

[Zydar]

I have no list at the moment, but if this had been in January/February the 10 songs would be all Big Big Train for me! I was in such a BBT period then

[ReaperKK]

Bat For Lashes - Moon and Moon

This is such a good song.

[nick_z]

Bat For Lashes - Moon and Moon

This is such a good song.

Right?! A bit of Tori Amos here and there, but that piano theme and how it's reprised with subtle variations, her singing in the chorus...beautiful.

[Lonk]

Currently, I guess that would be:

1. Volbeat - Shotgun Blues
2. Volbeat - Temple of Ekur
3. Mastodon - The Crux
4. Mastodon Blue Walsh
5. Coheed and Cambria - Shoulders
6. Leprous - Not Even a Name
7. Foo Fighters - Rope
8. Arch Enemy - Handshake with Hell
9. The Contortionist - Language I: Intuition
10. Mastodon - Skeleton of Splendor

Can we not put Hef and porn in the same sentence please?

Hey now

[Elite]

Hey now

You're an all star

[nick_z]

7. Foo Fighters - Rope

This is a great song (and so is the album it's on). Love Taylor's nod to Neil Peart's signature ride pattern during the chorus.

[hefdaddy42]

OK, I'll take a stab.  In no particular order:

Julian Lage - Auditorium
Porcupine Tree - Rats Return
John Hiatt - Lipstick Sunset
Ethel Cain - Sunday Morning
Maria Chiara Argiro - When the Sea
Yes the Raven - This Will Only End In Tears
Tray Wellington - Wasted Time
Punch Brothers - My Oh My
Fantastic Negrito - Trudoo
Roy Orbison - Crying

Can we not put Hef and porn in the same sentence please?

Hey now

You're an all star

Goddammit

5. Black Map - Madness

Melodoria has grown on me a ton. Really good album. I don't think it'll top In Droves, but I've enjoyed it a bit more with every spin...
