Valencia will be playing their final show tomorrow alongside Every Avenue and Hit The Lights, and PropertyOfZack thought that it would be a great idea to feature one of everybody’s favorite bands in our Playlist series. Each member from Valencia chose a few songs to create a Playlist, and we’re stoked to be debuting it. Check out the Playlist and listen to the songs while reading everyone’s thoughts!

Remedy - Hot Water Music
This song and the record it is off of is one of the songs and bands that got me into playing music in a band. I had never heard such passion and emotion mixed with uncheesy lyrics and amazing guitar work all in the same song. It was with out a doubt the style I was looking for. - Shane Henderson
Holy Fuck - I Am the Avalanche 
The first time I heard this song was around the point our band made the decision to go on a break.  The urgency in the music and lyrics reminded me of all the things we gave up over the last seven years while we were never home and out chasing the dream.  It helped me realize that we weren’t alone in those sacrifices and reassured me that in the end, the experience was ultimately a huge reward. - George Ciukurescu
Reeko - NOFX. 
This song changed how I thought about music; from the hungover and distraught lyrics, the reggae guitar, walking bass line and smooth guitar solo, to the energetic fast-punk 2nd half. It has everything I want in a song. - Trevor Leonard.  
F.O.D. - Green Day 
I remember my first full listen through of “Dookie”. Just a barrage of sounds that seemed to be made for my very existence. And then there was F.O.D. The long and generally plain acoustic and vocal intro, into that snare fill explosion of the rest of a song. I couldn’t believe something so relaxed could Coexist with something so furious. But, there it was, right down to figuring out what F.O.D. stood for and the guitar chord progression the likes of which I hadn’t previously known could support a melody. Man, I never thought of it like this, but so much influence came from just that one song. - Dan Pawlovich
A Little Bit Of Everything - Dawes.
This song has such great lyrics that tell a series of important stories about how life is not black and white. There’s so much space and simplicity in the music that allows the poetry to breathe. One of my favorite songs of the year. - Trevor Leonard.
Because of the Shame - Against Me! 
This song is like an updated version of a Springsteen single with an amazing hook and heart wrenching lyrical content about loving someone once to find after time has spread you apart, that things that you used to do together wind up killing her. Amazing song! - Shane Henderson
Anchor - Into It. Over It.
2011 was a year where I had to deal with friends moving away, taking huge steps forward in their own lives, and there were times where I was very selfish in feeling sorry for myself because of it.  There were also people I had been out of touch with for years that came back into my life.  Surrounding all of that happening, I heard this song and what it said showed me that even though a friendship can be tested with distance and disagreement, it can always be OK in the end as long as you know you want it that way. - George Ciukurescu
When My Time Comes - Dawes
Another one for Dawes. I can’t help it, it’s inspiring to me to hear music and lyrics like this that are seemingly untouchable to the everyday songwriter, but can completely capture the heart and soul of the everyday listener. It’s only a matter of time before any song gets written, and this one could’ve been recorded any number of years ago, or one hundred years in the future and I believe it would still connect with any human audience. - Dan Pawlovich
