| Arctic Monkeys- AM (2013) |
So as a fun Friday edition, I''ve decided to share with you guys the music that I've been absolutely loving. Most of these songs have become my all-time favorites, but there are some recent discoveries as well.
Here are the 10 Jams that I absolutely love:
1. Fireside-Arctic Monkeys
OK, so I'm cheating a bit here. This album is simply perfect. I've been such a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys since their EP album and I've seen how they've evolved other the years. Their new album AM was just released. My favorite song from the album is Fireside so go check it out!

2. Decades- Joy Division
Simply an amazing song. The fact that it is the last song on Joy Division's final album Closer makes it even more stunning. Ian Curtis' voice is simply so shockingly melancholy but that's the beauty of it. One of the best closing tracks of all time.

3. Air- Playground Love (Vibraphone Version)
Such a great instrumental track. I just stumbled upon this track about a week ago and it really held me in a trance throughout. Great track for those of you who want to relax.

4. Crucify Me-Bring Me the Horizon
So yeah. I really like Bring Me the Horizon. I think they're a great band and Oliver Sykes has such a good voice! (Especially during his clean vocals) This is the opening track to their album There Is Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It; There Is Heaven Let's Keep It Secret. Right from the get go, the opening riff just got me. From there, the whole song is truly a roller coaster ride that plays along PERFECTLY to their heaven vs. hell theme. I dare say, it's my favorite song from them.

5. All I Need- Radiohead
This is definitely my favorite Radiohead song. The lyrics are wonderfully whimsical and Thom Yorke's voice just shines, but it's the background accents that truly make the song. Go take a listen to it and you'll see what I mean.

6. Helena Beat- Foster the People
Such an awesome song! From the first time I heard it, I feel in love. The beat is absolutely incredible and catchy and the chorus is the same. Great dancing song. (Plus, the music video is SO awesome!)

7. Sacrilege- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest single off their new album is a scene-stealer. It's rock n' roll tone fuses in fabulously with its gospel elements making for a true classic. AND Lily Cole stars in the music video! How can you not love it?!

8. Shadow Moses- Bring Me the Horizon
Alright, alright. I lied. I love Bring Me the Horizon A LOT. Shadow Moses is the first single off of their most recent album Sempiternal. This song is truly wonderful because it showcases Bring Me's evolving sound. Oliver Sykes' clean vocals shine here but fear not, their hardcore, metal sound is still there! But what really ties everything together lies in the opening and closing seconds of the song. The beautiful and brilliant accent of a woman's angelic voice leaves you simply breathless. Definitely worth a listen.

9. Ball and Chain- Janis Joplin
A true classic. This song is my favorite of Janis Joplin because it's so raw yet beautiful. This particular performance is my favorite because you can clearly hear the emotions in her voice. Janis is a legend and I have no doubt that she will remain immortal for generations to come.

Lana del Rey is a goddess. Need I say more?
