Burn by Papa Roach

 

Everybody's favorite song about V.D. proved to be one of the biggest hits so far this year, even though it was probably not expected to be. The song is one of just 5 new songs recorded to fill out the band's live disc 'Time for Annhilation…On the Record and On the Road'. The first single from the album, 'Kick in the Teeth', was also a huge hit and one of the biggest songs of 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

Die Trying by Art of Dying

One of the best songs of 2011 comes from a band who was largely unknown prior to the release of this song. About two years ago I heard the attached version of this song which features Seether's Shaun Morgan on vocals as well. It's probably a good thing they re-recorded this for their debut 'Vices and Virtues', the duet with Shaun sounded more like Seether's song than it did their's.

Hear Me Now by Hollywood Undead

The masked rap rock group Hollywood Undead became a surprise hit a few years ago with their ironically titled 'Swan Songs'. They dodged the sophomore slump on the strength of their massive lead single 'Hear Me Now'. The band quieted critics who believed they would not be as successful without Aron “Deuce” Erlichman, who left the band on poor terms in early 2010. I don't know about you, but I always feel better after dropping a deuce.
