Mr. groom to be, Frank, asked me to compile a top 10 list of songs. As that was kinda vague I made the list to be the Top 10 songs he should have on his wedding playlist. For those that don't know I was roommates with Frank for all four years in college. So I would say I know his musical tastes pretty well.

Top 10 Songs for Frank
10)
Time of Your Life - Green Day
I like this one because it's a classic, cliche since it came out. However, Green Day was one of the bands that I played a lot our Freshman year- the year where Frank mostly listened to classic rock. Oh how that was soon to change.
9)
Anna Sun - Walk the Moon
This is one of the songs Frank would just jam out to. Study break, or whatever this was a great stress reliever. Lyrics probably aren't wedding appropriate, but it's upbeat and who cares.
8)
Good for Great - Matt and Kim
Pretty simple here. Matt and Kim is one of our (De excluded, but that's not important right now) favorite bands. This intro to this songs sounds pretty amazing played loud over Frank's studio monitors. Also Frank doesn't read books, another key lyrics to this song. "for late leave sleep" - our motto
7)
Sleepyhead - Passion Pit
I think it was Sophomore year. This song was played..a lot. One time we stayed up til 5 a.m. binge writing a 10 page drama paper. This song was definitely a part of that.
6)
My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up) - Fall Out Boy
Senior year. If Frank didn't have this song cranked when I got back to the room something was wrong. Minor hyperbole post-alert.
5)
5 Years Time- Noah and the Whale
Another one of Frank's classic sing-along-songs. And it just leaves you feeling so happy.
4)
Magic - B.o.B.
This song was a staple. Always trying to get the rap part right. Jamming out at soccer games. This one had a long lifespan. Also pro-friend proving alert. Frank if you still have that label I made you post it to the FB group.
3)
Sail - Awolnation
Junior year spring break I spent the week at Frank's house. Going to play basketball, cruising around town, or driving 4 hours to accidentally find ourselves in South Carolina, this song was bumping
2)
Daylight- Matt and Kim
This is the song that got us hooked on Matt and Kim. Awesome piano. Awesome music video. And so much energy doe. One of the few bands Frank introduced to me...ha I kid I kid. But damn this song was just the perfect song to unwind to at the end of the day.
1)
Saturday Love - Angels and Airwaves
One of our favorite bands (De is finally included). The lyrics are really fun to sing. The feelings are real. It's AvA. I had to decide between this one and Surrender..if he didn't sing each of these a thousand times I'd be surprised. AvA was our choice of chill out/ study music, and the awesome part was that you could also crank it and sing along.
0) Boom. Included
Thrift Shop - Macklemore
Because if it wasn't included it would be admitting to not knowing Mr. FJT. Admittedly, he was a thrift shop hipster. He showed me this song a good 4 months before it got more airplay than a good metaphor. I'll try harder next time, promise. He knew the words, and he would dance. Turn this song on and Frank (tried to) bec(o)ame Macklemore. It was quality entertainment. Especially for Taylor, right Taylor?

"Let's do the fork in the garbage disposal"
Congratulations to Frank and Taylor on their marriage this September 7th! I am pretty excited for them and know that they're going to be able to finally take that third wheel off and live on their own. Though you know guys, rent is a lot cheaper with more people...
-Mi though De is here in spirit. But not dead.
