We are sure a diverse group...wit...Thanks everyone. We are sure a diverse group...with very good taste!<br /><br />The only songs I'd have to differ on is on Snave's worst list. "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver is ok in my book. I used to sing it to one of my dogs. And, when "Afternoon Delight" came out, I hated it, too. But now I have a slight fondness for it. However, I completely agree with you on John Mayer - yuk. <br /><br />My favorites of YOUR lists:<br /><br />J. Marquis: <br />Soul Asylum - Runaway Train<br />Earth, Wind & Fire - That's the Way of the World <br />Raspberries - Go All the Way<br />Rush - Tom Sawyer<br /><br />Snave:<br />Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed <br />The Sex Pistols - Holiday In The Sun<br />Richard Harris - McArthur Park <br />Boz Scaggs - Lowdown <br /><br />Damien: <br />The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses<br />AC/DC - Highway to Hell<br />Radiohead (anything from ‘The Bends’)<br /><br />Sheryl:<br />Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly <br /><br />Tommy64 (fiance):<br />The Beatles - Revolution <br />The Replacements - Stuck in the Middle <br /><br />(And, thanks for #2 on your list. I take that as a complement. As far as you not having any friends, what am I, chopped liver?!)<br /><br />Ms. Liberty:<br />I agree with you on REM, Pink Floyd, The Doors, U2, and of course, The Beatles, but as far as Hole goes, I hope Ms. Love would drop dead already. <br /><br />Thanks again, everyone!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221976140171029175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1107400490940786672005-02-02T21:14:00.000-06:002005-02-02T21:14:00.000-06:00How could I forget to mention "The Ballad of Accou...How could I forget to mention "The Ballad of Accounting" and "The Long Haired Radical Socialist Jew?" Those songs are must hears!Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797354221021200549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1107398635294651582005-02-02T20:43:00.000-06:002005-02-02T20:43:00.000-06:001. Total amount of music files on your computer:Ma...<B>1. Total amount of music files on your computer:</B>Maybe 5 songs max. I got a CD burner for Christmas, so I wouldn't have a zillion large files on my computer.<br /><br /><B>2. The last CD you bought was:</B>Buy music? I thought the beauty of the internet was that we all make it and share it with one another. Geez, it's been ages since I actually bought any music. It might have the Napoleon Boulevard CD I ordered from Hungary. That's kind of scary to think though.<br /><br /><B>3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?</B>Beyond burning my own song, so I could hand out copies in Washington DC, it was probably that Haifa Wehbe song <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fhayfawehbe%2Fsongs%2FAqoul_Ahwak.rm">"Aqoul Ahwak."</A><B>4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.</B>1. "Pop Goes the World"--Cause my ex and I agreed that would be "our song."<br />2. "Both Sides Now"--Cause life is indeed complicated the way the song describes.<br />3. "Killing Me Softly With His Song"--Cause people crave to be understood and connect with others on their wavelength.<br />4. "At Home With the Exiles"--Cause it's about being a citizen of the world.<br />5. "The Pied Piper of Crawford"--Cause I always dreamed of producing a song and its my baby.<br /><br />There are tons of others (maybe some I love better), but those come to mind as special for me and make me cry sometimes.<br /><br /><B>5. Who are you going to stick this with? (3 persons) and why? </B>I'll post the URL on my blog. Whereas surveys like this are great fun, I would rather not pressure people to take them. <br /><br />Thanks for thinking of me, Snave. Hope my answers were not too boring.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797354221021200549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1107386880360304702005-02-02T17:28:00.000-06:002005-02-02T17:28:00.000-06:00Wow, time for part two of my musical blatherings! ...Wow, time for part two of my musical blatherings! The MP3 player is up to about 4425 songs now...<br /><br />Songs for the bad old days: <br />any late-70's hits by Kenny Loggins<br /><br />Sappy favorites: <br />That's Just the Way It Is by The Rembrandts<br />McArthur Park by Richard Harris<br /><br />Artists I detest:<br />Duran Duran (except for the single "Ordinary World")<br />John Mayer<br /><br />A few of my most despised songs:<br />Watching Scotty Grow by Bobby Goldsboro<br />You're Having My Baby by Paul Anka<br />Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band<br />Good Morning Starshine by Oliver <br />Baby I'm-a Want You by Bread<br />Chevy Van by Sammy Johns<br /><br />Reminder of parents (both still alive):<br />Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics<br /><br />Me and an ex-girlfriend:<br />Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan: "Split up on a dark sad night, both agreeing it was best." Simple and to the point.<br /><br />Song that represents my life right now:<br />"Touch of Grey" by Grateful Dead<br /><br />I have too many all-time favorite songs to mention.<br /><br />I'd like to stick this task to Sheryl (A Thought Vacuum), Carter (Free The Speech) and Ms. Liberty.Snavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763424943041003098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1107297643519826302005-02-01T16:40:00.000-06:002005-02-01T16:40:00.000-06:001. Total amount of music files on my computer
52 ...1. Total amount of music files on my computer<br /><br />52 MP3’s most are fairly mainstream, Beastie Boys, Pixies (most of Surfer Rosa), a few 2Puc bits, a few more Public Enemy bits. A few Bob Marley bits. Oh and a sample of a French Foreign Legion dinner song I wanted to stream to my blog.<br /><br />2. The last CD I bought,<br /><br />Well, a long long time ago….<br /> in a music store far far away …<br /><br />I’m pretty sure it was one of the ‘Gate Crasher’ dance house CDs, nigh on three years ago.<br /><br />3. The last CD I listed to before reading this message was,<br /><br />A ripped version of Kill Bill Vol. 1, it’s in my shower rotation. <br /><br />4. Five songs that I often listen to,<br /><br />I’ll list the stuff that I ‘amp up to’ during pre-flight (I’m currently regaining currency on my NZ Helicopter licenses)<br /><br />The Rolling Stones ‘Wild Horses’<br />Kid Rock ‘I’m a Cowboy baby’, ‘Fists of rage’<br />AC/DC ‘All night long’ or virtually anything with a good lead in “Highway to hell’ included.<br />Anything by the Pixies<br />Guns’n’Roses ‘Paradise City’<br />Radio Head (anything from ‘The Bends’)<br /><br />And my potential funeral list, provided I die young in some form of senseless ad-hoc gun battle,<br /><br />Wild Horses (The Stones), Spanish Angels (Ray and Willie), err something<br />that the guitar players can make something of (and there will be guitar players, there always are). Anything by and performed by the Pixies.<br /><br />Three others that I will send this to,<br /><br />A former safe breaking, Frisbee throwing champ who I learned to fly choppers with back in NZ. “It’ll get to you sooner or later Ivy”. “Oh the perils of age, I’ll need your flight med doc soon buddy”.<br /><br />And the only guy I know who would turn up to a selection day with a stress ball, and still pass the psych-evaluation. “Hey trooper answer your emails in a timely manner”!!! <br /><br />And one half of the dubious duo, Katie. The i-Pod devotee, with all the bells and whistles, I really need one (an i-pod that is, not a Katie, errr not that it wouldn't be nice, arrgh I'm digging a hole). <br /><br />I shall post up the list with my next block of postings, very cool.Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216696796162994082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1107288228570131972005-02-01T14:03:00.000-06:002005-02-01T14:03:00.000-06:00Yay, Lizzy!
