A personal Countdown of Songs from my Spotify library.

The rule is 1 song per artist/band. Means you will only see one P!nk Song in my chart which is unusual even for my standards.

Furthermore stay perched for my various tastes in Music from Pop to Rock, Alternative, Country, Hip-Hop, R&B or Electronic and foreign Music from  part Germany and Austria... everything appears in this Top 100 Countdown!

[Into The Void]

Love the fact its genre fluid 

Perched

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: SON LUX

SONG: FLICKERS

ALBUM: We Are Rising

YEAR: 2011

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: As a huge American Horror Story fan (more songs from the show are in the countdown) I first noticed this track in a promo for the Cult season. It's a pretty sad song I don't listen to often but still worth being in my charts.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: THE CULTS

SONG: YOU AND ME

ALBUM: Static

YEAR: 2013

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: As far as I remember I was searching through Alternative Playlists and this song appeared. I instantly got hooked because it gives me a nice retro feeling.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: GARY GO

SONG: THE BEGINNING

ALBUM: Unfriend O.S.T.

YEAR: 2016

GENRE: Score

STORY: "Unfriend" or also known as "Friend Request" is one of the better horror flicks of the decade. Not that "Paranormal Activity" **** I despise but an actual movie about how scary Social Media can be and what it does to someone. The score was pretty much my thing.

[Heldenzeit]

Here for Helene to take the #1.  

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: JAMES GILLESPIE

SONG: DON'T LET ME GET ME

ALBUM: Wants and Worries EP

YEAR: 2019

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: This is actually a really nice attempt at covering. Though the lyrics wouldn't match at all because why would a man compare himself to damn Britney Spears? This version is also very slow paced and minimalist.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: NATHAN FOX

SONG: DEVIL & THE HOURGLASS

ALBUM: I'm All Done EP

YEAR: 2012

GENRE: Folk

STORY: I was looking for inspirational music for the AHS Apocalypse season and stumbled upon this folksy song. His voice reminds me of Adam Levine which may appear a bit annoying but at least there's some quality to it.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: WALKING ON CARS

SONG: SPEEDING CARS

ALBUM: Speeding Cars

YEAR: 2015

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: I heard the song on the radio and while it reminded me of native Americans dancing around the fire the first time I've listened to it, the following times I've noticed that the lyrics are better and have some meaning. The track is about a dysfunctional relationship.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: DAUGHTER

SONG: YOUTH

ALBUM: If You Leave

YEAR: 2011

GENRE: Folk/Indie

STORY: I just recently discovered this gem and it sounded familiar. Nice folksy track.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: CITY AND COLOUR

SONG: RAIN

ALBUM: Peaceful Road

YEAR: 2017

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: I've never gotten into Dallas Green's music at all. Not until P!nk surprise dropped their You+Me project. "Rain" is a pretty sentimental track that could have landed on "rose ave." too.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: MARVELOUS TOY

SONG: EL INFIÉL

ALBUM: Not Moving

YEAR: 2012

GENRE: Rock

STORY: Another song featured on American Horror Story: Murder House. It's the last episode when Violet goes through the new teenager's CD collection just to find out he's not into the Ramones but rather listens to the Butthole Surfers. This is also where Tate enters the room and becomes jealous of the new kid.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: MOTHER MOTHER

SONG: GET UP

ALBUM: Dance and Cry

YEAR: 2018

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: As you've noticed it doesn't stop with the Alternative genre in my countdown. It's still my most favorite genre of all I think because it can't be defined at all - not unlike Pop or Rock. "Get Up" could appear on any motivational playlist.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: INDIAN ASKIN

SONG: I FEEL SOMETHING

ALBUM: Another Round

YEAR: 2019

GENRE: Alternative/Indie

STORY: This one falls into the category of songs I've stumbled upon and instantly liked.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: ARONCHUPA

SONG: I'M AN ALBATRAOZ

ALBUM: I'm An Albatraoz

YEAR: 2014

GENRE: House

STORY: A song so ridiculous you just have to dance to. The silly lyrics never fail to amaze me.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: FAR EAST MOVEMENT ft. THE CATARACS, DEV

SONG: LIKE A G6

ALBUM: Free Wired

YEAR: 2010

GENRE: Dance/Electronic

STORY: A club banger which basically lets you do weird things on the dancefloor.

City and colour, what an amazing project! If you haven’t yet, check out the catalogue, it’s so beautiful.

I have, but I'm not fully into him. I like a few songs like The Girl or Woman though.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: MAC QUAYLE

SONG: ADAGIO IN G MINOR

ALBUM: The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story (O.T.S.)

YEAR: 2018

GENRE: Classic/Score

STORY: The whole Soundtrack in general for this fantastic Emmy and Golden Globe awarded season was so fitting. I recommend this Season in particular to everyone who's into biopics of charismatic serial killers because Darren Criss was just amazing in this.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: EVAN PETERS

SONG: COME AS YOU ARE

ALBUM: American Horror Story: Freak Show (O.T.S.)

YEAR: 2014

GENRE: Grunge

STORY: Evan Peters did justice to this cover of Nirvana. It almost always has me hard guessing if this is the original or the cover. Watch out for the specific Sarah Paulson and Jessica Lange songs in this countdown. I just can't label them all as American Horror Story Cast because everyone has had a solo in the season.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: EL PROFESOR

SONG: BELLA CIAO (HUGEL REMIX)

ALBUM: Bella Ciao

YEAR: 2018

GENRE: Dance/Electronic

STORY: I have a certain scene in my mind where the setting plays in a church and nuns are suddenly dancing to the rhythm of the song. Like "Like a G6" I just can't but dance along.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: LAUREN O'CONNELL

SONG: HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

ALBUM: Covers

YEAR: 2012

GENRE: Folk

STORY: It was basically the AHS: Coven promo in which the song was featured. Those who know the original song know that it's sung by some male band but the song does also sound great from the perspective of a woman.

[P!nk Forever]

ARTIST: SANTIGOLD

SONG: DISPARATE YOUTH

ALBUM: Disparate Youth

YEAR: 2012

GENRE: Electropop

STORY: Santigold alongside M.I.A. are just 2 of the pioneers of coloured women who incorporated electronic music with rap and carried the torch for new and upcomers. This song is iconic for its decade.
