144/365

ONE SONG GLORY
I'm taking this e-class and there was a journal prompt exercise over the weekend about favorite songs... Which songs (quickly, off the top of your head) wouldn't you mind listening to (and why) if you were stuck in a car and couldn't turn off the radio? Or turn it down I guess - which they didn't talk about... Which I know from experience when Tara picked me up from school one year and we had the car filled to the brim and couldn't get to the radio and had to listen to the soundtrack from Beaches for three hours... I think we could have turned it down then but never really thought about it. LOL

Anyway, top 25 songs I wouldn't care about listening to over and over (though I cheated a little because I have a couple from the same artist.) I left the whys out of this post... This list totally cracks me up because it's so all over the place...

{After the top 5 - the rest in no particular order.}

1. (Stevie Wonder's) As performed by the Fire Choir
2. 32 Flavors - Ani DiFranco
3. Just Like Heaven - The Cure
4. True Faith & Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
5. #41 - DMB
6. Get Here - Oleta Adams
7. Back That Azz Up - Juvenile
8. Eh Cumpari - Julius Larosa
9. Numb/Encore - Jay Z & Linkin Parks
10. Video - India.Arie
11. You Are My Sunshine & Ladybug Picnic- Elizabeth Mitchell
12. Fast Car- Tracy Chapman
13. (Des'ree's) You Gotta Be performed by Patti Austin
14. Bless The Broken Road & My Wish- Rascal Flatts
15. Tapestry of Nations from WDW Millennium Celebration album

22. Ain't No Stoppin Us Now - Luther Vandross
23. This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan
24. A Tale from La Nouba - Cirque du Soleil
25. Best of My Love - The Emotions

I intentionally left out the cast recording of Rent and Britney and Nsync and the Laguna Beach songs. LOL! After I came up with the list I looked through the zillion cds we have and realized I could have gone for ever... I forgot about The Commodores Brick House and Jean-Luc Ponty's New Country and You'll Never Find from Lou Rawls and I Want You Back from The Jackson 5... I could go on and on. ;-) I also rediscovered an album I haven't thought of in a very, very long time. I played it while I was cleaning this morning and even though it made me sleepy and want to get back in bed... I forgot how much I loved it.
