Struck a Chord

Ahh... Music! I love music. All kinds. I love music that brings back memories, brings you back to a happier place, makes you feel whole again, renews your spirit. Here's a random listing of songs, artists, memories:

Favorite Voices: Matt Johnson (The The), Paul Weller (The Jam & Style Council), Elvis Costello.

Albumn that I listen to if I'm feeling melancholy and want to kick myself in the ass: The The's Soul Mining

Albumn I'm embarrassed that I totally love: Duran Duran's Rio

Best Summer Driving Song: Bruce's Born to Run

Albumn I love to listen to if I'm getting ready for a hot date: New Order's Substance

Albumn I listen to if I feel like reminicing about those dreaded teen years: The Cure's The Head on the Door, or perhaps The Violent Femmes 1st albumn

Band that got me through High School and all the drama: Madness

Song that makes me immediately go out and buy a pack of smokes: Last Ciggarette by Dramarama

Oh - another voice I totally love : the lead singer of The Smithereens.

When I used to have a POS car that had no radio, the songs I used to sing to myself on the top of my lungs while driving to work:
Take It Easy by the Eagles
Slip Sliding Away by Paul Simon, or sometimes Kodachrome
In A Lonely Place by the Smithereens, or Behind The Wall of Sleep
That 10,000 Maniacs song that I dont know the title to, and i've never bought the albumn, but it has the line "shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather"

Song I used as a lullaby for my daughter because I never really learned any real lullabies, but it seemed to work: Sweet Baby James by James Taylor

Band that could do no wrong: Led Zeppelin. And I always waiver about my favorite Zep song -- Fool In the Rain? Misty Mountain Hop? Ramble On?

Song I totally love, and my husband makes fun of me for singing along to it: Spirit In the Sky. Who doesn't love that song? Yea, yea, I know... I dont believe in Jesus, but still, its a funky fantastic song.

First albumn I ever had: a 45 of Thin Lizzy's The Boys are Back In Town. Always bring a smile when I hear it.

Best Song to start off a long road trip: LA Woman by the Doors

Best Song to end a long road trip: Keep the Customer Satisfied by Simon and Garfunkel

Song that makes me think of my first boyfriend: In Your Wildest Dreams by the Moody Blues

Song that makes me think of my first kiss: Boys of Summer by Don Henley

Song that makes me want to have sex: Desperate but not Serious by Adam and the Ants

Song with the absolute best intro: India by the Psychedelic Furs

If I had a theme song, it would be: Aint No Stoppin Us Now

Band that makes me happy: Grateful Dead

Band that makes me laugh: The Smiths

Song that make me cry: Cat Stevens' Father and Son. i dont even like thinking about it -- I get all teary just at the thought.

Voices that makes me think of my dad: Jim Croce, Paul Simon, and Willie Nelson

Song I want played at my funeral: The Crystal Ship by the Doors

Our wedding song: Youre the Best Thing by the Style Council

Most underrated U2 song: Hawkmoon 269

Song that makes me think of you: 500 Miles by the Proclaimers
