In honor of my 11th blogoversary, I’m sharing my top 11 favorites in a few different categories. Last week I shared my 11 Favorite TV Shows and Movies and now I’m back with my 11 Favorite Songs! This was a really tough category as I love music, so these are probably not my only favorite songs but they are the ones that really stick out to me at the moment. So tell me: do you love any of these songs? What are your favorites?
11 Favorite Songs from The Beatles to Mcfly #ontheblog Click To Tweet“Eleanor Rigby” – The Beatles
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Check out the song here
“Time to Dance” – Panic! At the Disco
Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You’re pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong
Check out the song here
“Boot Scootin’ Boogie” – Brooks & Dunn
Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there’s a honky tonk
Near the county line
The joint starts jumpin’ every night
When the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music and smoke
It’s where all the cowboy folk
Go to boot scootin’ boogie
Check out the song here
“Tears from the Moon” – Conjure One featuring Sinead O’Connor
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
It should be easy
As easy as when you stopped wanting me
“The Thunder Rolls” – Garth Brooks
Every light is burnin’
In a house across town
She’s pacin’ by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin’ for miracle
Hopin’ she’s not right
Prayin’ it’s the weather
That’s kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Check out the song here
“Nineteen” – Tegan and Sara
I felt you in my life before I ever thought to
I need to lay down beside you and tell you
I feel you in my heart and I don’t even know you
And now we’re saying bye, bye, bye
Check out the song here
“Me and the Moon” – Something Corporate
“It’s me and the moon,” she says
And I got no trouble with that
But i am a butterfly, you wouldn’t let me die
“It’s me and the moon,” she says
Check out the song here
“Unconsolable” – X Ambassadors
I hope we stay
Thick as thieves, butter and bread
Pillars of colonial homes
And I wish I could shout you out
False start
Don’t get your cane caught in the cracks
Buckle your seatbelts, polluting the airwaves
Single and lonely
Check out the song here
“That’s the Truth” – McFly
If you listen to the things that your friends say
You’re gonna be lonely
How can you treat me like that
When I give my all to you
‘Cause I haven’t been messin’ around
I would never go out
And do the things you don’t want me to do
‘Cause I can tell you right now
That you will never find the evidence on me
And that’s the truth
Check out the song here
“Skin” – Alexz Johnson
Oh, he’s under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
Check out the song here
“Village”- Cam
‘Cause your whole heart’s a village
Everyone you love has built it
And I’ve been working there myself
And that’s where I’ll be
With a front-row seat
To watch you live your life well
Check out the song here

I didn’t want this post to be too long, so I didn’t share why I love these songs but if you want to know about my love for any of them, just leave a comment! Remember – I want to know your favorite songs too!
The Thunder Rolls brings back so many memories!
When I was 13 my Mom started listening to Garth Brooks and it really grew on me. Even as an adult whenever I hear a song of his I smile.
Would love to hear why it is special to you 🙂
YESSS!! “Time to Dance” – Panic! At the Disco rules!
Happy blogiversary! How sad is it that I haven’t heard of a lot of these (more accurately, just one)? :[ I adore Something Corporate–I’ll have to go check the rest of em’ out!
Oh this would be hard for me. My favorites change with my mood lol
As much as I love music and go to concerts I don’t actually listen to the same music all that often.
And Happy Blogiversary Lauren!!!!
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
we listen to a lot of Beatles at home. My kids now all the lyrics LOL
OMG! ELEVEN YEARS?? No wonder you are such a wonderful blogger Lauren! WOW! Happy Blogiversary!
I love how this is an eclectic mix! Eleanor Rigby is a classic. And I love Tegan and Sara! It’s hard to pick just one song of theirs! And I have many memories of line dancing to Boot Scootin Boogie when I was in college. Oh yes. LOL
I love Eleanor Rigby! Not heard of the other songs, but will check them out – Happy anniversary!
I don’t know many of these songs!
Me and the moon is one of my favorite songs too! DO you like Constantine?
I haven’t heard of most of these songs but have to see a Panic at the Disco song because I really love their stuff.
Tori @ In Tori Lex
What a great song list! I love so many of them!!! Happy Blogiversary!!! I just finished my first year!
Some of these I know and started singing, others I am going to need to click and listen. Happy Blogoversary again! 11 years is so awesome.
Oooh this is fun! And such a mix of genres and time period! I am listening to a bunch of them now, I am always on the lookout for new songs to love. Also, kind of impressed that you could narrow it to 11. I think I could either find 3 or 33, no in between haah.
You’ve got a little bit of everything here. I like country every once in a while and Garth is always great. Panic at the Disco seems to come on quite a lot when my daughter is around.
Oh this is such a fun post – I’m always all for songs recommendations, I’ll have to check all of these out 😀
11 years—that is so impressive!! congrats! I love Tegan and Sarah too!
I love how eclectic your list is! I don’t know several of these artists but it’s always fun to see someone’s taste in music and how it can cross several genres.
I really love how you’re doing this for your blogoversary! Such a great idea! I hate to admit that I’d never heard Eleanor Rigby until David Cook did a cover of it on American Idol. I don’t know a lot of these songs, but the ones I do know, I totally agree with!
Happy blogoversary! 11 years is an amazing achievement. I’ve always liked Eleanor Rigby. I tend to like songs from the 70s and 80s best, anything by Queen, Bowie, T Rex, etc.
‘Time to Dance’ really takes me back! I listened to that whole album so much during high school, it was one of my favourites, and ‘Time to Dance’ was one of the best songs in my opinion!
Great post! 🙂
Love Garth Brooks and the Beatles! 🙂
“Eleanor Rigby” has been a favorite since my MS orchestra played it.
Seeing an Alexz Johnson song on this list has me nostalgic for Instant Star.
Wow, congrats on 11 years! My favourite songs are probably any by Sara Bareilles
These are great songs. Happy Blogoversary!!!
Got to love The Beatles 🙂
happy blog-versary! congrats on 11 years.
I now have Eleanor Rigby stuck in my head, haha.
Happy blogoversary!!!! Love your list- yay for Panic at the Disco, and Eleanor Rigby is awesome (and sooo catchy- that will be in my head all night now)!
What a fun list! I love the variety 🙂
Hah McFly. <3 Great list of songs.
What a great mix of songs!! Love Garth Brooks and the Beatles!
Happy Blogoversary!
Eleanor Rigby is one of those songs that totally sticks in your head Congrats once again on 11 years!!
Elven years? !? Omg congrats with sticking with this for so long!
Such a fun idea! Time To Dance is my favorite Panic! At the Disco song 🙂 And Me and the Moon is soo beautiful <3
Eleanor Rigby is such a classic!!!! Boot Scoot made me laugh, such a good one too!
I love Nineteen, as well! To be honest, I adore the whole The Con album by Tegan & Sara. The sound of it is so lovely.
Pretty much every song by Ben Howard is my favourite song. Everything he writes and sings just hits me right in the feels, haha.
As for a particular song, I really love Hollywood by Angus & Julia Stone, it’s lovely!
Boot Sccotin Boogie?! That is awesome! There are a few on your list I have never heard of before! Happy 11th blogiversary 🙂
