Top Ten Songs by Marty Casey & Lovehammers

Some of the Best Songs by a Great Band

Marty Casey & Lovehammers (also known as Lovehammers) have been around for quite awhile now, but have only recently begun creating a buzz. Until their lead singer, Marty Casey, appeared on the show Rock Star: INXS, they were a local Chicago band. Most people outside Chicago had never heard of them.

Their newest album, self-titled Marty Casey & Lovehammers, contains 11 of their best pre-Rock Star:INXS songs, as well as the new song “Casualty.” It also includes the song “Trees,” which became a fan favorite when Casey sang the song on Rock Star: INXS.

Since the new album consists of most of their best work, most of my list contains songs from that album. They have some fan favorites on previous albums, but many of them require some getting used to, some history, or a look at the lyrics before they become really enjoyable, as they are the band's earliest work.

While it may be fun to study the progression of their music over time, most of the band's earlier songs will not make my top 10 list. It was a difficult choice, however, as I love every song on their new album, as well as much of their previous work.

They have quite a few songs covering a range of styles, and I like each of them for different reasons. Many fans may disagree with me, but I find that one of the best things about their music is that nobody has the same list of favorite songs. They have something for everyone, and I have never found a single song that seems to be the favorite of most fans. Instead, there are maybe ten Lovehammers songs that are fan favorites.

I could go into great detail about each song, but then I would have to write an article on each one. Instead, I will stick to the general reasons these songs are my ten favorites.
