save rock and roll
Fall Out Boy came back last year and they definitely CAME BACK. With a top notch rock songs and feature artistes (Big Sean, Courtney Love, Foxes, and ELTON JOHN!), they definitely brought back my love of rock and roll (okay, more like intensified my love of rock and roll).
Their album Save Rock and Roll is stunning. The first track released from it was My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light 'Em Up) and it has been featured in many, many movies and ads and TV shows (I think). The one I'm most conversant with is it's feature in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Now each music video from the album has a story (only 3 are left to be released) and I suggest you start watching from the aforementioned song. The songs are hard-hitting, but they went for a pop angle on this one. I'm sure old fans (and new) will love it.
Here are the videos that have been released so far (not in order of track listing but in order of video releases). Warning: Not for the faint-hearted.

my top 13 major songs of 2013
2013 was a great year for music. Lorde came on the scene with Royals, Imagine Dragons really took the stage, Beyonce totally surprised the world with her self-title video album which is supposed to be super sick, the Jonas Brothers broke up, Katy Perry GREW UP!!!, Miley Cyrus...
There was a great increase in lyrical genius as well... when you feel my fear/look into my eyes/it's where my demons hide; there is no fear now/let go and just begin/ i will love you unconditionally; we'll never be royals, it don't run in our blood/ that kinda luxe just ain't for us/ we crave a different kind of buzz...total WOW moments. There was also a decline in mindless pop music (with the exception of Pitbull and Ke$ha's Timber which is a surprisingly cool song even if it IS mindless) and an increase in the demand for alternative/indie music. It shows that there is indeed hope for humanity.
