Tone Deaf Challenge

Since it’s the last Tone Deaf Challenge of the decade, I’ve found a website the lists the top songs of the decade.  From that list, I’ve taken 5 songs out of the top 50.  Those are your lightning rounds for tonight.

I’ll miss you all again this week, but can’t wait for next week’s game!

Have a happy and safe new year!

You guys all know that I have odd taste in music.  Here’s a look at my top 9 songs of 2009.  I have also included some close calls below.  I like so much music that this was really tough for me.

My Top 9 Songs of 2009:
1. Sink Into Me by Taking Back Sunday
2. 1901 by Phoenix
3. Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship
4. (If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To by Weezer
5. I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas
6. Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon
7. Trinity by Paper Tongues
8. Run This Town by Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye
9. Panic Switch – Silversun Pickups

These were my 9 favorite songs of the year.  I think this might even be the order, too.  Close calls were:

Zero by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I’ve Got Friends by Manchester Orchestra
Kids by MGMT
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus … it’s catchy!
Fireflies by Owl City … just kidding as this song gets on my nerves now!

It’s RSVP time, kids.

10 points are yours if you want them… but you gotta do two things.

Just for kicks, if someone on your team buys a shot or an order of wings, I’ll give you an extra 5 points.  (Just make sure I see it to get the points — has to be before the 90s round!)

That’s all.  The game is back to a normal time this week.  I hope to see you all there.

(Oh, and I’m not sure what I’m doing with the season yet.  This will NOT be a championship.  I’m taking it back to 10 weeks as this was just WAY too fast.)
