“the downfall of us all” by a day to remember
A Day To Remember was hard to escape in the MySpace era. The band was on everyone’s profile in 2009, at the tail end of the site’s popularity. ADTR served as an easily accessible hardcore band at the time, catering to a mass audience. Their sheer popularity at the time is overlooked in hindsight. I remember their shirts were everywhere, this song was on seemingly everyone’s profile, and it takes me back to MySpace every time I hear it.
“crazy” by gnarls barkley
Released in 2006, this song quickly became a staple of MySpace. I remember discovering this track on the site because it became a common profile song among friends. This was before Ceelo Green’s massive hit “Forget You” and following his fame in Goody Mob. Gnarls Barkley was the collaboration of Green and Danger Mouse. They’ve recently announced a return.
“such great heights” by the postal service
Truly, I was discussing recently how huge this song was in the MySpace era. The Postal Service was the side project of Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, along with electronic music DJ Jimmy Tamborello and additional contributions from Jenny Lewis. Again, I discovered this song on the site and before long, it was featured on nearly everyone’s profile.
