iTunes Top 25 - October 1, 2008

I had to skip over the month of September due to some work related windedness, so I just decided to start over again at the beginning of the month. Hopefully I will be able to maintain this schedule in the future.

25. "The Take Over, The Break's Over" - Fall Out Boy (26)
And our first new entry to the Top 25 is actually a return entry, which goes to show the problem with doing a cumulative list: for the most part its going to be the same group of songs, just in a different order. Until I figure out a better way to go about things that's just something everyone's going to have to deal with.

24. "Thriller" - Fall Out Boy (26)
This week's biggest drop comes courtesy of the band everyone loves to hate and yet secretly listens to. While this is a great album opener/adrenaline pumper, there's been other songs I've been listening to lately that have taken its place on my playlists.

23. "You Know My Name" - Chris Cornell (26)
22. "Tears Don't Fall" - Bullet for My Valentine (26)
21. "Crash Here Tonight" - Toby Keith (27)
20. "Say This Sooner" - The Almost (27)
19. "Pretty Handsome Awkward" - The Used (28)
18. "Your Love" - The Outfield (28)

17. "Thank You For the Venom" - My Chemical Romance (28)
When I pillaged Rick's song collection, there was a lot of My Chemical Romance on there. I kept most of it, but barely listened to it at first. Now, between this and most of the Black Parade album, I'm not ashamed to say I've become a fan.

16. "Inside the Fire" - Disturbed (28)
15. "Metalingus (Edge's Entrance Music)" - Alter Bridge (28)
14. "The Kill" - 30 Seconds to Mars (29)
13. "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" - Relient K (29)
12. "Inevitable" - Anberlin (29)

11. "She'll Never Be Your Man" - Chris Cornell (31)
The biggest jump on this list. I would put this song up against any of Cornell's Soundgarden or Audioslave stuff. Its that good.

10. "I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Lights" - Brand New (31)
The highest debut in this month's Top 25, it benefits hugely from the fact that its on a number of different playlists. Also, its a great song about being on the road and not being able to appreciate all you're getting to experience because really, all you care about is getting back home. A feeling we can all relate to.

9. "Grand Theft Autumn" - Fall Out Boy (33)
8. "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me'" - Fall Out Boy (34)
7. "Devotion and Desire" - Bayside (34)
6. "Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't" - Brand New (35)
5. "The Feel Good Drag" - Anberlin (35)
4. "Save Me From Me" - Amber Pacific (36)
3. "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" - Fall Out Boy (37)
2. "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)" - Fall Out Boy (37)
1. "BubbleToes" - Jack Johnson (41)
