The 11 Best Songs From The Twilight Soundtracks

Harry Potter proved that a great franchise can make you a whole lot of money.  Twilight proved that a shitty franchise can do the exact same thing.  The one thing that Twilight did right was its soundtracks.  As crappy as the movies were, the soundtracks were some of the best movie soundtracks being made.  The Hunger Games franchise has arrived giving us the best of both worlds.  A great franchise and a great soundtrack.  Too bad Cameron Crowe never made Singles into a movie franchise.

Here are the 11 Best Songs From The Twilight Soundtracks:

1. Eclipse All Yours - Metric (Eclipse) 
2. Meet Me On The Equinox - Death Cab For Cutie (New Moon)
3. Spotlight - Mutemath (Twilight)
4. Ours - The Bravery (Eclipse)
5. Neutron Star Collision - Muse (Eclipse)
6. Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine (Twilight)
7. Let's Get Lost - Beck & Bat For Lashes (Eclipse)
8. No Sound But The Wind - Editors (New Moon)
9. What Part Of Forever - Cee-Lo Green (Eclipse)
10. From Now On - The Features (Breaking Dawn 1)
11. Where I Come From - Passion Pit (Breaking Dawn 2)

Happy Holidays everyone!

It's that time of the year again...time to make our own "Best of…" list. As you all know, every year I compile a list of the best music albums released during the year. And, I ask all of you to help out.

So, if you haven't done this before or need a quick refresher, it's very simple. Send me your 20 Favorite Albums that were released during 2009. Remember, the only rule is that the album had to be officially released during 2009. If you can't think of 20...send 10...or even 5...if you only like 1, then just send 1.

Once I get all the votes...I'll compile an uber list of 111 of the best albums of 2009.

The Unknown: The Bravery - Cowards

I may be the only person who prefers the original version of The Bravery's Sun and the Moon to the new re-produced ultra uber spectacular polished tight-fitting version. To me the first version sounded more natural...more like the band's first album. The new "glitter" version sounds like the dorky guy in math class who keeps offering to do the prom queen's homework. You want to say "Stop it!...you're trying too hard." Maybe it's because, to many, The Bravery are the dorky guy in math class. I can't believe how many people think this band just all out sucks. But three albums in...they're hanging on...and honestly, making some damn good catchy music. If you don't think so, take a listen to their B-side collection.

Here is The Bravery - Cowards:

1. Rocket (Smashing Pumpkins)
2. It's All I Can Do (The Cars)
3. Rats in the Walls
4. An Cat Dubh (U2)
5. Faces
6. Oh Glory
7. Hey Sunshiney Day
8. Hot Pursuit
9. Who Left Me Out?
10. Sorrow (The McCoys)
11. The Dandy (Rock)
