CGI Fridays Music Special!

Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends, we lost family. We lost a part of ourselves.

Hold on, that wasn't my life. That was Steve Rogers AKA Captain America AKA <3 from Avengers: Endgame.

However, five years ago I did complete something pretty heroic relative to saving the universe. While in college (and bored in various classes), I compiled my all-time music rankings. You can read scroll through it HERE.

Taste in music changes, but there's no way in Hel I'm doing an entire list again. What I do want to do is update the top three, also known as my music "Holy Trinity."


I have a lot of favorite bands and artists, but my three favorite bands stand above the rest. Top ten members from 2018 put up a worthy fight -- *NSYNC, The All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy and others still hold a special place in my heart -- but there are three bands that exist in a league of their own.

Simply put... they rock.

Green Day gets a microscopic edge over The Killers because "Jesus of Suburbia" is my favorite song ever. That album, American Idiot, is (in my opinion of course) the greatest and most complete album in the history of music.

Here are my top 50 favorite songs from my three favorite bands! *As of August 2023.
