Top 30 Songs of 2016
30 favourite songs of 2016. Absolutely ripper year, and these 30 tracks were the soundtrack to all of it. Only rule was I didn't want to double up on artists. A few songs missed out due to that.
Songs are in no specific order aside from the 3, 2 and 1. |
| 30 | Blink 182
Sober
Catchy as hell. Don't care how guilty I am for enjoying this pleasure. |
| 29 | Real Friends
Empty Picture Frames
Excellent representation of one of my favourite records of the year. |
| 28 | Bayharbour
Fading Away
Old school Australian metalcore. Still a guilty pleasure. |
| 27 | Taking Back Sunday
Death Wolf
Awesome way to kick off the album. A few songs on here could have taken this spot. Still not sure how I feel about the album. |
| 26 | Fightstar
Overdrive
Really enjoyed their comeback after not listening to them since 2006. |
| 25 | Horrowshow
Push
Aussie hip-hop is enjoyable as hell when its done right. Recommended listening. |
| 24 | Bury Tomorrow
Last Light
Metalcore can still be fun. |
| 23 | Our Hollow, Our Home
Worms Wood
Metalcore can still be fun. |
| 22 | The Colour Morale
Keep Me In my Body
Never been a massive fan of the band but really enjoy this song. |
| 21 | Columbus
Raindrop
Another band to watch for in the coming year. Big song shows their potential. |
| 20 | Kings Of Leon
Around The World
Such a fun, sunny song. Cannot wait to use it in a travel montage or something similar. |
| 19 | A Day to Remember
Negative Space
Considering they are one of my favourite bands, Bad Vibrations was a hugely disappointing record. So much so that my favourite song was a B-side. But its classic ADTR. That chorus. |
| 18 | Architects
Momento Mori
Album was disappointing but after finding out the circumstances surrounding it, this song was an incredible finale. |
| 17 | Polaris
Regress
Arguably did Architects better than Architects do. Serious band to watch for in the future. |
| 16 | Depatures
1994
Melodic hardcore at it's best. |
| 15 | Make Them Suffer
Ether
Huge deathcore song, and absolutely huge to experience live. |
| 14 | Modern Baseball
Wedding Singer
Not my usual style but love the energy this song provides |
| 13 | Thrice
Salt and Shadow
Album ruled. Song rules. Bands rules. |
| 12 | The Devil Wears Prada
To The Key Of Evergreen
Biggest song of the bands career. |
| 11 | Pierce The Veil
Circles
Album was slightly disappointing, but loved this song for the entire year. |
| 10 | Trophy Eyes
Chlorine
Huge lead single. Highly recommended record to check out. |
| 9 | Endless Heights
Drain
Serious band to watch for in the coming years. For fans of Basement, Trophy Eyes, Turnover etc. |
| 8 | Hellions
24
Gave the record 5/5 so picking one song to represent Opera Oblivia was difficult. 24 was a ridiculously good way to kick off a scene classic though. |
| 7 | Dance Gavin Dance
Betrayed By The Game
Not the biggest fan of this band, but play this song at least once a day. Something so catchy and fun about it. |
| 6 | Trash Boat
You Know, You Know, You Know
Best new band of 2016. This track is absolutely massive. |
| 5 | Parkway Drive
Into The Dark
They released Devil's Calling and people lost their minds at the change, but completely overlooked how classic Parkway this song was. |
| 4 | Dustin Tebbutt
First Light
Most beautiful song I have heard in a long time. |
| 3 | The Amity Affliction
Blood In My Mouth
Wasn't their strongest album, but this track is one of their best. |
| 2 | Hands Like Houses
Momentary
Whole album was incredible. This song just stands head and shoulders above the rest. |
| 1 | Every Time I Die
Map Change
How can a band be so consistent and release their quintessential track 16 years into their career? Incredible. |
