November

• November 30, 2007: blink-182:Dammit nominated by [[]].

"Dammit" was blink-182's first break into the mainstream. After being featured in the movie 'Can't Hardly Wait' it peaked number 14 in the Billboard Modern Rock Charts. The song is the classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl. The song then takes a twist, he decides that he can't sit around and be sad about the past and just move on with his life or "guess this is growing up!" Everyone has felt that way before. Not to mention how insanely catchy this song is!''

• November 29, 2007: Bomb The Music Industry!:Funcoland Vs. The Southern Electorate nominated by Punching Kittens.

If only we could solve all the problems in the world the way we could when we were kids: Just blow on it like an old Nintendo.

• November 28, 2007: Vienna Teng:Harbor nominated by Mhari.

A sweet, aching song about steadfast love. Brings tears to my eyes every time.

• November 27, 2007: Maroon 5:Makes Me Wonder nominated by RaNdOm26.

This is a great, up-beat song with interesting lyrics. The song is about Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine's confusion and frustration with the politics of the United States and the American's role in the war in Iraq.

• November 26, 2007: Breathe:Hands To Heaven nominated by Andrew Horne.

This is another one of the most emotional songs I have ever heard. This song is about praying for reconciliation. This song peaked at #2 in the charts and still remains Breathe's top song.

• November 25, 2007: R.E.M.:Everybody Hurts nominated by User:Phantom.

This song is really amazing, expecially when you're feeling a bit down: it reminds you that you're not alone in feeling like that, and that it's not the end of the world. It's so good at this, that the Samaritans used it in one of their campaigns.

• November 24, 2007: Wilco:Via Chicago nominated by King_Nee.

A powerful song about the 'I wish you were dead' of a nasty breakup. The premise may sound bad, but Jeff Tweedy's eloquent lyrics, coupled with the jaw-dropping Alt-Country delivery stops the show.

• November 23, 2007: Daughtry:It's Not Over nominated by 69.250.27.200.

This is one of the first songs by Daughtry that I downloaded. I became a big fan immediately after seeing Chris Daughtry on American Idol. The song has powerful lyrics that people from age one to 100 will love.

• November 21, 2007: Bob Dylan:Brownsville Girl nominated by BadAstronaut.

Showcases all of Bob Dylan's lyrical talents in one 13-minute narrative, structured around the 1950 Gregory Peck movie The Gunfighter. A lesser-known track, perhaps, but absolutely brilliant.

• November 20, 2007: Insane Clown Posse:Toy Box nominated by cure4theitch.

The lyrics are just so damn funny!! And the beat is also really well made. Great song.

• November 19, 2007: Stevie Wonder:Another Star nominated by Matan.

Great rhythm, great lyrics, great song! This Songs in the Key of Life track is so catchy and rhythmic, you will keep singing the "La La La" bit days after you heard it. And besides, Stevie Wonder totally Rocks!

• November 18, 2007: Editors:Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors nominated by Frits.

The song features an imposing sound, which matches Tom Smith's deep voice. A great song and enjoyable to listen to.

• November 17, 2007: Eden's Crush:What's Good 4 The Goose nominated by MaTrIx.

'Good 4 The Goose is an interesting song from (now defunct) Eden's Crush. It was released in 2001, and co-written by Fergie. The band seems to have since disappeared from the mainstream for the most part.

• November 15, 2007: James Blunt:Goodbye My Lover nominated by Tiffany.

This song is so beautifully written, and the lyrics break my heart. You can just hear in his voice the pain he feels over this girl.

• November 14, 2007: Bruce Springsteen:Hungry Heart nominated by Andrew Horne.

This was Springsteen's first top 10 hit. This song explores a man's wanderlust contrasted with his desire for a stable family life. Many of Springsteen's songs are about wanting to get away, and in this song the main character concludes that he does not want to be alone.

• November 13, 2007: Nirvana:Smells Like Teen Spirit nominated by 65.6.44.17.

This song, although said to be simple in many guitar circles, was the proud and loud anthem of a new generation and was largely responsible, along with the rest of the "Nevermind" album, with bringing grunge to mainstream music, if not for a short, limited run. Kurt's overdriven double-tracked guitar, Novoselic's subtle, but powerful bass, and Grohl's steady rhythms, combined with the mumbling and screaming of Cobain's voice, and the nonsensical lyrics make for a song that will not be forgotten soon. I just can't believe it hasn't been nominated as of yet.

• November 12, 2007: DJ Sammy:Heaven nominated by 74.65.42.5.

The combination of the excellent Techno beat and emotional lyrics along with Do's excellent voice gets this song stuck in your head, and that isn't a bad thing.

• November 11, 2007: Survivor:Eye Of The Tiger nominated by Andrew Horne.

This song won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group in 1982. They also topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks. Famously (or infamously) sung by Ben Stiller in the movie Night at the Museum.

• November 10, 2007: Finley Quaye:Dice nominated by Scout.

This song combines beautiful lyrics and a haunting melody and is absolutely breathtaking. The lyrics are exceptional and the song is one of the best I have ever heard

• November 09, 2007: Linkin Park:Leave Out All The Rest nominated by Sadhevneo.

A new twist to linkin park's rock n roll.

• November 08, 2007: Linkin Park:What I've Done nominated by Sadhevneo.

A Linkin park recent . Good song ,carries on their legacy .

• November 07, 2007: The Fray:How To Save A Life nominated by 68.32.150.243.

Musical and lyrical, one or the other or both, this song is great. Sure to become a classic. A great piano riff. simple but awesome drum beat. Nice guitars in the background. And on top of all that, it's lyrics are great.

• November 06, 2007: Billy Joel:Scenes From An Italian Restaurant nominated by 213.102.99.20.

For me it's one of the best songs in the whole world. It tells such a touching story. And it's technical brilliant: first the slow part, then very fast and at the end the slow part again. It's a song, you love the first time you hear it. And you will never stop to love that song.

• November 05, 2007: Daft Punk:Aerodynamic nominated by User:ZMor.

This song is breathtakingly cool the first time you hear it. The ominous, slow bells that begin, the quick, snappy electro beat that begins the song, and then the awe-inspiring Yngwie Malmsteen-styled solo that shatters through it. Then, after you've had your behind handed to you from that, they cool it down to end with a totally different electro beat.

• November 04, 2007: Pearl Jam:Jeremy nominated by Brandon H.

This song is one of the defining moments of

one of the greatest rock bands of all time; Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder was inspired to write these lyrics after reading about the suicide of a high school sophomore. Excellent song.

• November 03, 2007: Killswitch Engage:My Curse nominated by Roy Balderaz.

This song should be song of the day because I think it's a great love song for metal-heads. It also shows how much killswitch has grown over the years.

• November 02, 2007: Josh Groban:Believe nominated by Andrew Horne.

This song is from the Christmas movie The Polar Express. It won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media in 2006. This is a Christmas song, so it will have to be the SOTD on December 25, 2007.

• November 01, 2007: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony:Weed Song nominated by !MeAkOnE!.

This song is awesome and should be put up on the next 4:20 which is April 20 2008
