What are your favorite songs?
Are they primarily from an specific era, genre, or event in your life?
Mine range from late childhood to present. Some hold meaning... Others, I just liked that much.
Give me a top five!
Mine:
Take on me- ABBA
1979- Smashing Pumpkins
Mary Jane's Last Dance- Tom Petty
She talks to angels- The Black Crows
HRSA- Blue October
This is my new song on repeat. It inspires me during these dark political days.
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.
she grew up tall she grew up right ......with them indiana boys on them indiana nights
I'm not saying that song was written about me, but I'm not saying it wasn't either. ?

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.
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.
Too many to mention. Off the top of my head though:
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.
Personal experience and the internet
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.
