My Music

Stole this from Marie :)

A pal of mine blogged about an email she received asking her for a favor. Apparently her friend's social anthropology class project for the semester is finding out what makes people tick. The idea is to tap into people's play list and see...well, what makes them tick. What's their jam? What makes them get going in the morning or for a run?

So, I've posted 10 of my songs, chosen at random thanks to iTunes shuffle and explained my reasons. I thought it was sort of fun and hopefully not too embarrassing. You should do the same!

1.Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf
Does any song on the planet rock more than this song? Show me a person who can sit still when this song is on.

2. Bitch by Meredith Brooks
This is my running jam, nothing gets me to pick up the pace like this song. I must have run hundreds of miles while listening to this song, it's been on my MP3 player for years and it still rocks. "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed"

3. Fortunate Son by CCR (Creedence Clear Water Revival)
It has an awesome beat and I love the lyrics. CCR is one of my top 3 favorite bands of all time, they have so many awesome songs. I think I was born in the wrong decade.

4. Fighter by Christina Aguilera
This is towards the end of my playlist and really gets me to kick it into high gear and not quit running when I'm getting tired.

5. Take it Easy - Eagles
I love the Eagles, they are one of the greatest bands of all times. This is my favorite "cruisin" song. It wouldn't be a road trip without an Eagles CD.

6. Tiny Dancer - Elton John
This is the most beautiful song. I used to dance with Kyle when he was baby to this song so it holds a special place in my heart.

7. Landslide - Stevie Nix
I love Stevie Nix's voice, I grew up listening to her because my parents liked her and the love got passed on to me.

8. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Who doesn't like this song? This song reminds me of playing pool in highschool with my friends and underage drinking. lol

9. Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins
I love this song because it reminds me that I have all I need in my family. I used to listen to this song when we were poor and in college raising 2 kids and could relate to it so much because even though we were poor, we were blissfully happy. " And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey, And everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, And tell me everything is gonna be alright."

10. Jack & Diane - John Melloncamp
Another one of my highschool memory songs, so many parties with this tune on... It's just a fun jam that never loses it's appeal.

It is obvious from my playlist that I am not remotely into "today's" music? The best music came from the late 60's & early 70's and nothing today even comes close. For some reason no Beatles songs came up but they are another one of my faves.
