Today I'm back on the wagon for MOOREASEAL's 52 List Project and by far this will be my favorite list. List your Favorite Songs. This is like asking me my favorite movie. I get anxious because I feel bad if I leave something out that literally changed my life. Without music I don't know how I would've gotten through some really rough days in college, some dreary days in the office, and definitely some breakups. I am utterly grateful in more ways than I can describe.
Someone's favorite songs are gateways to their inner souls I think. When your head involuntarily nods to the beat or when your that place over your heart cinches because the lyrics tugged on your heartstrings...you can't put up a mask and hide your love for it. It's there and it can let someone know the real you.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SONGS?
I'd love to hear...
Ok it's totally freaky that I have 90% of those on my MP3 mix.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Man in the Box by AIC. That is like THE best song to rock out and sing to...at the top of your lungs of course.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh some of these just GET me. And some I'd forgotten about!
ReplyDeleteI would have SO much trouble writing this list! There are so many songs I love! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man. I have such an emotional connection to a lot of these. No Doubt? Oh yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have excellent taste in music but what I really love is that you like a variety of sounds!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! I have such an eclectic range of favorites! Everything from Estrellita by Charlie Siem to Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies (love the remake version too by Meaghan Smith!)
ReplyDeletenice list!! and awesome myspace photo...kind of miss that silly site!
ReplyDeleteOh my that picture made my day. Awesome.

Hey girl, haven't heard a peep out of you in months. Hope all is well and you are ok.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a nice mix of tunes, here! I like that you listen to older things like Etta James and The Mamas & The Papas. I'm definitely into that stuff, too, though I also listen to Neil Young and Kansas and that kind of thing. My favorite songs, of course, change over time. I typically am attached to one song--or to a band or to an album--and listen and listen and listen and listen, over and over and over. Right now, I'm on a Boy & Bear and Kodaline kick. Before that? The Mowgli's. My favorite bands are Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, The Head and The Heart, Of Monsters and Men, Coldplay, and Muse, but there are dozens of others mixed in there. One of my favorite songs of all time, though, is "Clocks" by Coldplay. My favorite Muse song is "Map of the Problematique."
ReplyDeleteI love lots of these too (specifically the Pat Benatar and Natalie Imbruglia!) my favourite sounds are all very motown-y esque. Ain't too Proud to beg for example. I just love it. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI was doing this and stopped. My bad. I think I may go back...
