Oh, I don't like when Dave Matthews gets all jam-my, but he has a couple songs I absolutely love, but it has to be specific live versions of each
Say Goodbye & Everyday
And of course I'll sing along to Ants Marching.  |

How could I forget Jimmy Buffett?? I am a beach girl at heart, and he can put me in my happy place. A Pirate Looks at 40, Son of a Son of a Sailor, Boat Drinks. Totally cheesy, but still love. The Wino and I Know  |

There was a song I really liked back in the 90's. My preferred alternative station played it all the time, but it may be pretty obscure otherwise. Not even sure how to spell it---gigi ta? (This was the name of the band, and I believe the name of the song as well.) I really liked the trumpets in it, and it was really peppy for my morning wake-up/commute to school.

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
Best drum riff ever!!!!!! Every time I hear it I can just picture the scenes from Miami Vice, driving down the highway at night in the cool car! I grew up in Miami and left in early 80s to go to college before Miami Vice was on. It made Miami cool. Not like I remember it  |

I love a good piano bar singalong song, too. The Day the Music Died, Only the Good Die Young, Piano Man. Who doesn't have fun with those? People who are allergic to fun, that's who!

More - Nearly every song from South Pacific and West Side Story The World is a Ghetto - War On the Ocean - K'Jon True - Spandau Ballet Daddy Could Swear (I Declare) - Gladys Knight and the Pips If I were your woman - Gladys Knight and the Pips (ok almost everything by Gladys Knight and the Pips) Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masekela Everywhere - Fleetwood Mac Mary Jane - Rick James Teach me Tonight - Al Jareau
I LOVE music! I also really enjoy some classical music, but I don't know classical well enough to be able to list it. |

I love a lot of songs, I'm a big music freak. But songs I LOVE are songs that I need to blast and belt out over and over. For example:
*Pearl Jam - Corduroy and Rear view mirror
*David Bowie - Queen Bitch, Moonage Daydream, Modern Love
*Smashing Pumpkins - Starla
*The Killers - For Reasons Unknown
*At the Drive-in - One-armed scissor
*Pat Benetar - pretty much anything. My mom was pregnant with me and about to pop when she went to a show back in 1981. Security almost didn't let her in.
Mindless Self Indulgence - Shut Me Up
Songs that make me think of my hubby:
M. Ward - Never Had Nobody Like You ("our" song)
Neil Young - Harvest Moon (first dance)
Delaney and Bonnie & Friends - Never ending song of love (played at our wedding)
Cold War Kids - Hang Me Out to Dry (ee always played this at our favorite dive bar - RIP)
I highly recommend checking out Red Baraat. They're like a fusion of Indian wedding music, jazz, and funk. They are a guaranteed good time, great live show.
Oh! I am also really digging Dan Aurbach's (he of the Black Keys) latest solo album, Waiting On a Song. Shine on Me is a fantastic song.

I'm... I'm surrounded by old people.  But that means... I'm going to be old one day too.  Chatting with my old friends about songs and bands nobody under 40 has ever heard of. It's not fair!  |

Most of the songs I listed were produced before I was even born (1973). A lot of them I grew up with because my parents played them. My brother is also 7 years older so I was listening to a lot of classic rock with him at the age of 3. |

So I'm in the same boat. My grandfather still sings songs that date back to the era before radio was popular, where families would sit around and play sheet music. That's basically how pop music worked in the early 20th Century. |

I grew up listening to the Red Army Choir.
However, this is not my mother's Red Army Choir.
