So my playlist, entitled "What Makes Mama Happy", has 432 of some of my favorite songs. Alright, no laughing. Well, if you must........ENJOY!!
"Raise Your Voice" by Bad Religion
Well, let's just get right out there. I have a bit of punk rock on my playlist. Listened to it alot in my teenage years, and go back to it from time to time. I don't know, it can just get my blood pumping and really bring me out of a funk. What can I say, I love Punk ;)
"In My Room" by The Beach Boys
Oh, I love the Beach Boys! I have a funny story if you want to hear it. I LOVED these guys when I was a little girl. I had one of their cassette's and listened to California Girls all the time (totally singing to me, you know). Anyways, you can say they were my first boy band crush. The cassette case had this old picture of them all young and cute. Well, I didn't know it was an old picture. My Dad took us to see the Beach Boys, and I was SO excited! Then they came out and were, well, NOT young, and I about cried! I asked my dad where they were, and he pointed to the men on stage. All I could say was, "But they're so old!". Totally crushed! But I still LOVE them!
"Who's Crying Now" by Journey
Always love me some Journey!
"Landslide" by The Dixie Chicks
Have my country collection as well. I really like the Dixie Chicks!
"Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers
A definite favorite of mine! Just a classic.
"Pride and Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Man, this guy. I can not even explain how much I love him. He is just so talented, and I can not get enough of his music. The thing is, this is all pretty recent, like, the last 2 years recent. I have heard him before, of course, but I never really heard him. I mean, I could dig on some SRV, but just recently I have discovered how truly awesome he is. And still my heart aches when I think of him, how much the world has missed out on because he is not in it.
"Foolish Games" by Jewel
I have been a fan of Jewel since I was in junior high. I love the rasp in her voice. Did you know she yodels? Crazy! Always love this girl!
"Invisible Touch" by Genesis
Yup. Genesis. And Phil Collins. Love.
"Free" by The Zac Brown Band
Oh oh oh these guys are great! And this is one of my favorites by them. So talented, all of them! I really think they appeal to anyone. Great bunch. Would LOVE to see them with my babe!
"Sacrafice" by Elton John
He is in my top 10. I think he is amazing. I adore him! Just more great music I was introduced to and raised with!
"Running On Empty" by Jackson Browne
One of those that I have been listening to alot.
"I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz
Absolutely wonderful love song. I am a huge love song fan. HUGE. My poor hubby. He is not into them as much as me, but he doesn't say anything when they come on while we are driving and I am singing away! Alas, my dreams of him serenading me will never be, but knowing he loves me for all my goofy,sappy, geeky ways, well, that is the best thing ever!
"Long Train Running" by the Doobie Brothers
"Son Of A Sailor" by Jimmy Buffett
Sometimes I just get in a Jimmy Buffett mood. Someday we will see him...
"Sign of the Southern Cross" by Black Sabbath (w/ Dio)
My husband is the metal head, but I must admit, I have my metal moments. I absolutely love Dio. Another lost legend. His vocals are insane.
Alright, who made it through? I thought 15 would be too many, but it barely scratches the surface. Maybe that is why my playlist has over 400 songs! I just love music. It is like a therapy to me. I think I will have to do this again! I really enjoyed it.
I hope you found at least one song you enjoyed. Remember, sing to that favorite tune when it plays on the radio, even if the person in the next car over looks at you like you are crazy!
I love a great playlist! Well done my friend. A few of those songs brought back memories and some of them were a joy to listen to.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them! You enjoy good music like me! I will do another one soon.
