It is that time of year once again, the dreaded top 10 lists.  To milk this as much as possible, I am dropping 3 posts on you.  Number 17 to 11, then 10-6 and finally my top 5.  How do 17 songs end up on a top 10 list you ask?  Simple my blog and I can do what I want.  Seriously though, I have trouble picking my favourites and couldn’t whittle it down anymore than this.  I did leave some great music on the side unfortunately.  So without further adieu, I give number 11 to 17, completely without any further yapping from me, just the music.

Song Of The Day – Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Quickly becoming one my favourites, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals cook.  Great rock/blues voice that can also sing a mean ballad, all backed up by a great band.  This video is the band live at Bryant Park in NYC and involves 2 songs, “Paris (Ooh La La)”, a great rocker followed by “Medicine” a good time, old-time song.  When you hit 8 minutes, they do something I have never seen before.  If you like Heart or Joan Jett, you’ll like this band, a lot.  I’m not sure, but I think El Guapo introduced me to this group, can’t remember, but if he did, kudos.  If not, pretend.
