What's on your iPod?

[MooseMom]

Name 10 tracks on your iPod/MP3 that you think best illustrate who you are, and then tell us why.

[Riki]

I don't know if I can do that... I mean, I have a playlist just for when I'm in a crappy mood and want to hear songs about desperation

[Chris]

I have over 9 days worth of music on my iPhone and only one song comes to mind that seems to fit because I got a new CD. Foo Fighter's Skin and Bones. However I am sure there are more songs that could apply that just do not come to mind.
 
This is a homework assignment....lol
 
1. Skin and Bones - Foo Fighters
2. Red Pill/Blue Pill - One of "The Marix" Soundtracks
3. The Wall - Pink Floyd and Korn
4. Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
5. Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack
6. World in My Eyes - Depeche Mode
7.

OK, I can work with that.  Which songs about desperation are on your crappy mood playlist?

your funny MM... I havent loaded any on my iphone/pod yet but i just finished listning to " like my mother does" by  american idol second placer lauran alana (dont know how to spell her name.) but the song means a lot to me.  Then listned to Scotty (the winner ) "i love you this big" and dang if he isnt just the neatest guy and he sais....... The song isnt about lovey dovey, just good ole love of family, friends, life.... Two good songs that i JUST finished listning to on this hear computer so seem fitting since they both relate to me and how i feel...and who i am..     Well, those and if i could think of some crazy ole hippy song i'd add it but thats it for now.

[Chris]

Whoops, I messed up already after first song. I started listing ones on how I felt regarding health, not who I am. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

OK, well, I'll start with my list to give you a better idea of what I'm after (hint:  it's my subtle way of being nosy)

"Every You Every Me" Placebo
"Jolene"  Dolly Parton
"Born this Way"  Lady Gaga
"Subrali Sa Se Subrali"  (from a selection of Bulgarian folk songs)
Theme Song from Game of Thrones
"Tik Tok"  Kesha
"Adiemus"
"Bransle simple" (old French court music)
"I Will Follow Him" (Little Peggy March)
"Speaking Unto Nations" (Beethoven's 7th as used at the end of "The King's Speech")

I choose these because they span different eras and genres and illustrate that I have a wide range of interests.

[Chris]

Harder than it seems. Seems only 2 songs I listed prior fit. Most of the CD's I have purchased over the years were for different moods or for classic Rock music and not how it illustrates me.

[MooseMom]

Ooooh, "Safety Dance"!!!  Yay!

There's no right or wrong answer to this.  Don't strain your brain.  You can just rabbit on as you like!

I do have something to do with rabbit from the Matrix movie soundtracks
How about "She blew me away with science" - Thomas Dolby?

Moosey I LOVE this assingment!! Reviewing my IPOD and YOUTUBE account right now!!!

1. The Climb (Miley Cyrus) represents my struggle with kidney disease...inspires me to keep  on fighting.

2. Make you Feel my love (Adele) Just a beautiful ballad I am a hopeless romantic.

3. Temporary Home (Carrie Underwood) Live each day to the fullest.

4.  Taking Chances (Celine Dion)  Pumps me up!

5. I Belong to Me (Jessica Simpson) Just a single girl power song

6. Neutron Star Collision (Muse) Love is forever.

7. From a Distance (Bette Midler) Love this song since childhood. My dad operated on her father in Hawaii.

8.  Strawberry Wine (Deanna Carter) Fave Karoke song beside Oldtime Rock n Roll

9. Goodbye My Almost Lover I don't know who sings this but it is a pretty ballad as well.

10. Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (Meatloaf) Love this song every college friend who has gotten married plays this song at reception, and we have a dance off!

[HouseOfDialysis]

1) The Streets of America - Bad Religion

2) Goner - Early Graves

3) Walk Away - Bad Religion

4) Daemon - Whitechapel

5) Ancestry of the Antichrist - Byzantine

6) Mutter - Rammstein

GREAT SONGS! Of course, I'm biased because they are on my player.

[Riki]

ok. I checked my top 25 played songs.. and they mostly look like my melancholy song list, and Twilight songs.. *L*

1. Last Night on Earth - Green Day.. This is one that I play when I'm missing my friend, Kelly

2. Long Day - Matchbox 20.. There's a line in this that I totally think is me. "I'm so terrified of no one else but me"

3. I Wanna Be There - Blessed Union of Souls.. This is another Kelly song, of wanting to be there to help her, and not being able to, although, the circumstances are different for us than the song

4. Be My Escape - Relient K

5. Dancer in the Dark - The Rasmus

6. Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K

7. I Need You - Relient K.. This one is really desperate, digging up sand, looking for something you can't see

8. Never Knew - The Rocket Summer.. This song is actually rather uplifting

9. The Line - Battles.. I think this is an awesome fight song. I'm sorry they only used a few seconds of it in Eclipse

10. How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep - Bombay Bicycle Club

[MooseMom]

HOD, I swear you just made those up, didn't you.  "Decrepit Birth"...oh sure.   "Pig Destroyer"!   My son calls me most days from London, asking me to look up such and such band on You Tube playing such and such song; are any of your choices on You Tube so that I can go and check to see if they really exist?  ha

Riki, I don't know Relient K...can you tell me more about him/her/them?

rsudock, I haven't thought about "From a Distance" by Bette Midler in decades!!  That used to be one of my very fave songs; I'll add that to my playlist.  I quite like Adele..she has such an interesting voice.  I saw her on The Graham Norton show on BBC America a few weeks ago, and she really surprised me.  Her music can be moody and contemplative, but on the show, she was anything but!!  She was hysterically funny!

[Chris]

Went to my Top 25 list on my iTunes and this is what I have. Seems tho I have listens to other songs more than these tho.
 
1. Same Song and Dance - Aerosmith
2.Fuzzybox Voodoo - ZZTop
3.Dream Weaver - Gary Wright
4. Wonderful Night - Fatboy Slim
5. Rock Lobster - B-52's
6. Working In The Coal Mine - DEVO
7. Puttin On The Ritz - Taco
8. Dragula - Rob Zombie
9. I Wanna Be A Cowboy - Boys Don't Cry
10.Skin and Bones - Foo Fighters

[jbeany]

Seems tho I have listens to other songs more than these tho.

I thought that too!  But I think it's partly to do with the random shuffle feature.  Makes me wonder just how random that algorithm really is!  When I've made up separate playlists, some of those rarely show up at all.

Only one I agree with is Foo Fighters. That was one of my newest CD's I uploaded onto iTunes to my phone. Odd it did not list songs from 5 other new CD's.

Mostly everything can be found on YouTube. In fact, please seek out Opeth on YouTube. They are one of the best bands, metal or otherwise, period.

[MooseMom]

I actually HAVE heard of Opeth.   I'll go youtubing when I have a bit more time.

[Chris]

Metal, great driving music on a certain highway in Illinois

Indeed! Load up some great riffs and hit the open road!

[cattlekid]

I had more music when I had an iPod but now that I switched to an Android device, I don't have as much music any more. Here's a bit of what I currently have:

1.  Roll With The Changes - REO Speedwagon
2.  Young Americans - David Bowie
3.  Dear Mr. Fantasy - Traffic
4.  Love Will Keep Us Together - The Carpenters
5.  The Whiskey Ain't Workin' - Travis Tritt
6.  You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees
7.  Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Great White
8.  Time for Me to Fly - REO Speedwagon
9.  Afternoon Delight - Starlight Vocal Band
10.  Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes

I think these all represent me fairly well.   

[Riki]

[Riki, I don't know Relient K...can you tell me more about him/her/them?

I really don't know anything about them.  The only reason I have the songs is because they were part of a soundtrack I downloaded, created for a Colbert fanfic, and I really just liked their sound.
