This song is on repeat in my son's room lately. The joys of having preteen boys. Thanks YouTube.

I feel for anyone subjected to repeated listenings of AC/DC agai st their will.

@QuinnDaniels they are 12 & 10. So it's hilarious they are saying big balls ?

Judee Sill- Lamb Ran Away With the Crown
Steely Dan- Dr. Wu
The Band- Unfaithful Servant
John Prine- Paradise
Seals and Croft- Summer Breeze

Primarily, songs that are depressing, I have two different listening patterns. One is a cool type of casual listening, one is a more sad, meaningful type mood. This is definitely 70's music, with the exception of Unfaithful (69). This is the tip of the iceberg of music that I might deem as go to music.

Metallica's Hero of the Day, always.
Everything else depends on mood, yes?

Mostly anything lively you can sing to yourself in the car.

We could cruise "the L"

Yeah, I just said that.

@Nichole765 what is "The L"?

@Angus the L behind at the DG parking lot, turn right onto SR 28, then continue to Rickers.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat
You didn't spend your teenage years in that area, did you?

@Nichole765
Nope. Originally from Ohio. Been in this state less than a decade.

Today's top song (thanks to marionville (she posted earlier) is

I am very much into the classics, opera, and soundtracks.

Abba is great but the 1st movie was - um - different. In the rock world:
Pink Floyd, Allen Parson's Project, Styx, B-52, Elton John

Era? for many yes, childhood.

My alltime favorite song in the universe:

A student asked me if I played piano so I played (with an emphases on pain) a bit of that while testing the electric piano for a school music program. She noted. That is a very sad song.

Also one of my favorite piano works.

This is my new song on repeat. It inspires me during these dark political days.

I already left a post saying too many to list and I love a lot of classical songs too, but I have two favourites at the present and I am posting them here now. The first is Benny Andersson of ABBA’s song Give Me My Song sung by Bryn Terfel and Sissel Kyrkjebo and the second is Morten Harket singing his own song There Is A Place.

Oh and another Benny Andersson song sung by Sissel which I love....Like.An Angel Passing Through My Room.

  1. Sweet Leaf
  2. Paranoid
  3. Children Of The Grave
  4. N.I.B.

Out of the 60 most listened to songs I have on iTunes, 3 are Ozzy Osbourne songs (#37, 38, and 57); the rest are Black Sabbath songs. lol. Can you tell who my favorite band is?

I feel Blue October is severely underrated. I've traveled all over the midwest to see their live shows.

0

Good Night Saigon - Billy Joel
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Nobody's Fool - Cinderella
One More Fuckin' Time - Motorhead
Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber
I'm Going to Hell - The Pretty Reckless
Fuckin' Perfect - Pink
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

Tomorrow some of these will be different....

Absolutely love Nobody's Fool! Also Save Your Love.

"The Dance" sung by Garth Brooks.

His last tour was very impressive. Three sold-out nights in Indy. He is returning to play at Notre Dame sometime in the winter

@Nichole765 I really do not care for Garth Brooks but this song has a very powerful meaning to life.

@jlynn37 yeah he's definitely not my genre. But to produce an album that will sell out shows after 15,20 years is impressive.

1

Limiting it to five is a difficult task! I am going to have to give this some substantial thought.

Yeah I really was undecided.

Those are the ones I always return to.

Finalized my list! In no order:

On the Turning Away-Pink Floyd
Am I Evil-Diamond Head
Rags to Riches- Tony Bennet
Promised Land-Chuck Berry
Fade to Black-Metallica

1

Simply way too many to pick just five.
