So, I'll begin yet another post with yet another confession. I am afflicted with a terrible disease: I have Music A.D.D. Yup. I do. Some days I can listen to the iPod all the way through without stopping, those are the days I love all music. Other days I hear the first few notes of a song and flick it to the next one. I can't help myself because on occasion even my favourite songs drive me nuts. (Read this entire post for the chance to win an Amazon gift card.)
Just for fun I've compiled a looooooong list of songs that I (almost) never skip over. Generally they are older music, what can I say, I'm stuck in the past. :) *big fat grin* Most of these songs also become ear-worms: those little songs that get stuck in your head when you hear them and that you find yourself singing without knowing it. (Which really makes people stare at you in the stands at a lacrosse game.)

For those of you who have taken the time to read this entire post, I'm having a little give-away.
Let me know which of these songs is your favourite (from the list.) And, let me know your favourite song of all time. (Because I might need something new to listen to.) I'll make a random draw on Monday, June 11 and the winner will receive a $10 Amazon gift card so they can download their own favourite MP3 songs. Or buy my book, or whatever.
Have a musically fantastic day. And yeah, I'm old enough that they will always be albums. (Think older than dirt!)

I am a big fan of country music. I think my fav of your music is Drinkin Bone, its just such fun.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite song is Dance Little Jean ... I cry everytime I hear it because it tells my daughter's story.
I like your taste in music! Thanks for stopping by and sharing with us.
DeleteOkay, so I agree with some of your choices, but you forgot Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger, which is probably my favourite song. From your list, I'd have to agree with Paradise by the Dashboard Light - definitely a classic. I also noticed that you don't have any Fleetwood Mac - lots of great songs on their Rumors LP and then there's ... Thanks for offering this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are so right Old Time Rock and Roll is definately a sing-along song. Actually I love Fleetwood Mac. There really is no end to the good music out there, I have to agree with you there. We can't forget Queen, and my personal favorite The Bay City Rollers. Just thinking about them makes me smile.
DeleteI live with my iPod strapped to my ears some days too. I like a bit of Billy Joel from time to time and I do like writing with something going on in the background, whether it's music or sport on TV
ReplyDeleteMusic I understand, but sports on TV while you write? If I tried to write while lacrosse was on, I would spend all my time drooling at the players' legs or writing them into the story. :) But, to each his own. I love to write at the local breakfast place and do my best writing amid the clatter of flatware and chatter of voices. It really is whatever works for you isn't it?
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Good to see a new face around here.
