Everclear's Art Alexakis Lists 10 Songs That Give Him Chills

Art Alexakis - frontman for Everclear -- joins us this week as our guest blogger, revealing stories behind songs that move him (plus the song that taught him how to slow dance). Many of Alexakis' stories are reflective of some of Everclear's best singles, which will be fortuitously heard in newly interpreted recordings on October 6, 2009 via the new album, 'In a Diffirent Light.'

We are a society that loves a top ten,...from Casey Kasem to David Letterman,...America is obsessed with prioritizing our likes and dislikes,....and I am no exception.

I have always wanted to to do a top 10 of my most inspirational songs... the songs that get me excited,..or angry,...or sexual...Songs that me think and feel... or all the above at the same time!....In other words,...songs that give me chills.

I could probably do top 100 easy,...Music.... (actually songs more specifically) have been the most important thing to me my whole life...

'Debaser'
One of the best album openers ever,....always makes my heart beat harder....I remember when this album came out it received 2 stars (out of 5) in a famous magazine....and 10 years later the same mag called this a classic.....and so it goes.
