YOUR life cd....

[Arwen Undomiel]

Me too. It'd probably be a 4 volume set at least.

Since I have lived longer than a lot of you, I am taking liberties and doubling the 18 to 36 - and doubling up songs by certain bands, too. Even doing so, I have left out quite a bit. Writing these down was very therapeutic, though! Here goes, starting with history:

Gimme Shelter/Happy - Rolling Stones
Rock And Roll/Ramble On - Led Zeppelin **epics**
Time/Comfortably Numb/Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 **former Floydian**
Love Reign O'er Me - The Who **it does**
Heroes - David Bowie
Sugar Mountain/Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young **for teen years and for when I get really old**
Big Time/Don't Give Up/In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel **SO ruled**
On Some Faraway Beach - Brian Eno **oh, I had a big Eno phase**
Someone Somewhere In Summertime - Simple Minds **for a bad summer**
All Mixed Up - The Cars **but I think I like the Red House Painters version better now**
Age Of Consent/Crystal - New Order **for 2 very different periods**
How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths **remembering the first time I heard it**
Lust For Life - Iggy Pop **you bet**
Still Fighting It - Ben Folds **too applicable**
The Scientist/Shiver - Coldplay
Let Down - Radiohead **I have felt crushed like a bug on the ground**
Lost In The Supermarket/Revolution Rock - The Clash **not just a face in the crowd**
Synchronicity II - The Police **I was a lemming once**
In A Lifetime - Clannad w/Bono **my wedding song **
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak **for an intimate song it's just, wow**
Under The Milky Way - The Church
Could You Be Loved/Jamming - Bob Marley **sitting on the beach with a fruity drink**
IHOP - Luna **I love breakfast**
Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Can't Get There From Here - REM **if only I had known**
Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads **self explanatory**
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road/Righteously - Lucinda Williams
Cliffs Of Dover - Eric Johnson **for love of the guitar**
Trouble - Dave Matthews **get behind me now**
Long Shadow - Joe Strummer **written for Johnny Cash but very relevant**
Ripple - Grateful Dead
Smile - Jayhawks
More Than This - Roxy Music
Heaven - Los Lonely Boys **how far is it?**
Crazy Times - Jars Of Clay
Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble - Delirious **hope for the future**


Thanks for listening!

 

[DJ B.K.]

In no particular order:

>Los Lonely Boys-"Heaven"
>Mars ILL-"My Life"
>U2-"Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
>311-"All Mixed Up"
>Limp Bizkit-"Break Stuff"
>Pigeon John-"Life Goes On"
>Skillet-"Kill Me, Heal Me"
>Switchfoot-"Meant To Live"
>P.O.D.-"Alive"

I swing back and forth between moods a lot. This is just a list off the top of my head though.
