Winner Announced + Top 10 Albums to Play While Saving the World By .@Gini Koch
Top 10 Albums to Play While Saving the World
By Gini Koch
Taken from Kitty’s playlists, because, obviously. And I went with albums because picking only ten songs seemed far too limiting, and, you know, saving the world can take more than a couple of hours. But I also highlighted the best kick butt song or songs from each album. So it’s really two lists in one. ‘Cause I’m a giver, me.
I only allowed myself to pick one album per band, which is why this isn’t all Aerosmith. Or all Foo Fighters. Or all Metallica, Mötley Crüe, or Smash Mouth. Or, you know, all Aerosmith.
10. Metallica (aka The Black Album), by Metallica; best song: Enter Sandman
9. Funhouse, by P!ink; best songs: So What, Bad Influence
8. Habits, by The Neon Trees; best songs: Sins of My Youth, Animal
7. Rebel Yell, by Billy Idol; best song: Blue Highway
6. Strange Clouds, by B.o.B.; best songs: So Good, Bombs Away, Ray Bands
5. Wasting Light, by The Foo Fighters; best song: White Limo
4. Folie à Deux, by Fall Out Boy; best song: I Don’t Care
3. Saints of Los Angeles, by Mötley Crüe, best songs: Saints of Los Angeles, Face Down in the Dirt, MF of the Year, Just Another Psycho, White Trash Circus, Goin’ Out Swingin’
2. Nine Lives, by Aerosmith; best songs: Nine Lives, The Farm, Pink
1. Get the Picture?, by Smash Mouth (aka The Album That Wrote Touched by an Alien); best songs: 105, Whole Lotta Love, Looking for a Wall

As G.J. Koch she writes the Alexander Outland series.

Koch), listens to all kinds of music 24/7, and is a proud comics geek-girl willing to discuss at any time why Wolverine is the best superhero ever (even if Deadpool does get all the best lines).
She speaks frequently on what it takes to become a successful author and other aspects of writing and the publishing business. She is also the Lead Editor at Raphael’s Village, an online, nonpaying ’zine.

Because of that, I feel that this is for the best.

I'm not familiar with any of the songs that Gini name drops in her books. One of these days I'll visit youtube and see if I can listen to them, but I'm not that curious yet.
Excellent choices in music for saving the world ;). Thank you so much.
No wonder I love this series so much our musical tastes are very similar. :)
Friends highly suggested that I read Gini and the first book was NO disappointment. Even trying to get my husband to read it. I know he'd LOVE it if he gave it a try.
I LOVE this series!!!
Because you have to have tunes to save the world. Yes!
I can't help wanting to grab a Kitty book to read whenever I hear Aerosmith
Ready for more fun from Gini Koch's pen.
