YOUR life cd....

[peteey]

If you could make your life cd...18 songs on it, what would they be.... christian or secular.
I am going to wait to post to see what others have..not to conform, but to just see.



I thought I had posted this a while ago, but couldn't find it....maybe it was just a passing thought.

 

[Bohemian]

Life cd? Does that mean 1 cd of all my fav songs?

If yes, than here's my list:

1.Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen
2.Hall of the Mountain King- Greig
3.Highway Star- Deep Purple
4.We are the Champions- Queen
5.Nothing Compares to You-Sinead O'Conner
6.Yours is no Discrace-Yes
7.Buddy Holly-Weezer
8.Catherine of Aragon-Rick Wakeman
9.We Will Rock You(fast version)-Queen
10.Awaken-Yes

15.Strawberry Fields-Beatles
16.Elenor Rigby-Beatles
17.Back in the U.S.S.R.-Beatles
18.Turn to Stone- ELO

That list isn't necessarily in order, I just put them down as I thought! Also, I might change a few tracks, here and there.

Okay, I don't think I have time for 18. But I'll list a few. Note: I don't necessarily like all these songs, they just seem to be reflective of my life. Others have been included b/c they're favourites and have meaning for me for that sole reason.

1) Tourniquet- Evanescence
2) Bring Me to Life- Evanescence
3) Going Under- Evanescence
4) Don't Let Me Get Me- Pink
5) Everything Counts- Depeche Mode
6) Enjoy the Silence- Depeche Mode

8) It's My Life- Dr. Alban
9) Taking Over Me- Evanescence
10) Ice Ice Baby- Vanilla Ice
11) Can't Touch This- MC Hammer

15) I Could Fall in Love With You- Selena
16) What is Love?- Haddaway
17) The Way You Move- Outkast (reflective of my fun-loving side! )
