Lists, Lists, Lists - Songs I can't stop listening to, 2011 style

Again, the end of 2011 leaves me in the mood to make lists.  Here are listed the songs I keep coming back to this year, not necessarily the most played, but my favorite.  Some may be older than I am....

Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane.   This may be my life's anthem and the greatest song ever.

Soldier - Ingrid Michaelson. This song makes me feel, even at my age, that I can accomplish anything

You and Me - Elizabeth and the Catapault.  Just love the groove.

Rainmaker - Harry Nillson.  For the days when Life is a Highway is not the best song ever, this song is.

 Dyamite - Taio Cruz.  Because every time I hear it I think of hockey (either playing or spectating).

One Step Away - Ratt.  Because I am true to my roots.  And Ratt was a damn fine band.

Without Me - Eminem.  A little because he is from Detroit.  But mostly, because I dare you not to dance.  Seriously.  At least if you are over 18.

What's Victoria's Secret? - Rick Springfield.  For too many reasons to name.

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich - Lady Gaga.   Again, I dare you not to dance.

Walking in Memphis - Mark Cohn.  Because we saw him in concert at The Ark this year and he is as funny as he is talented.

Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes. Because it has the best bass riff ever and because Michigan beat Notre Dame at football.

Tonight, Tonight - Hot Chelle Rae.  See Taio Cruz.  And The White Stripes.  This song was also played at the greatest dance party ever (aka the Post-Game Celebration at Michigan Stadium after the 2011 Notre Dame Game).

Radio Nowhere - Bruce Springsteen.   No good reason - just that this song always sounds like a good idea.  And it always rocks.

I'll get the top-played songs of 2011 out soon.  But I wanted to get this list of the songs I loved in 2011 out as well.
