Moving along
After some wonderful advice and some venting and ranting and fun here, I feel a bit better about my last post. Nothing has changed but I'm ready to deal with it differently. So moving along...
Help me pick songs for the iPod. I have a balance of $36 and some change on iTunes. Give me YOUR essentials. My musical tastes are very ecclectic so throw me your ideas. I like everything from country to rock and most in between. Here are a couple of artists from a couple of different genres that I already have downloaded to give you an idea.
Justin Timberlake
Eminem
Edie Brickell
Natalie Merchant
Guns n Roses
Keith Anderson
Nickelback
Kenny Chesney
Sugarland
John Denver
Dolly Parton
Michael Jackson
Jack Johnson
Collective Soul
INXS
Missy Elliott
Dixie chicks
Billy Squier
Billy Joel
Cher
Fleetwood Mac
Queen Latifah
Hmmmm, I think I need some updated current stuff. Give me the scoop. What do I absolutely need to add to my iPod?

I'm afraid I am the wrong person to ask about that kind of stuff, because I stopped learning about new music about five years ago, but I wanted to come in and say hi anyway.
Oh! What about Paul Simon? Graceland is a great album, and I like Rhythm of the Saints, too.
*smooch*
I am not a fan of Paul Simon. I've never liked him.
I will check out Rhythm of the Saints though.
Monsty said you were drunk. Are you still drunk?
If it was me, I would have some Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I would also add Regina Spektor.
And Barry Manilow. You can't go wrong with Barry.
I do have some Foo Fighters on there as well as Nirvana.
I forgot about RHCP. Good one.
Um, as for Barry? I already have John Denver. I don't think I can have both and still carry a "cool kid" card. Can I? I have Bette Midler and Barry used to play piano for her. Does that count?
Well, if anyone *could* carry off having John Denver and Barry Manilow, and still be cool, it would be you. But it would be pushing it. *grin*
I don't know current, unless it's country and you've covered all of the bases, except there is one song you need. Love You by Jack Ingram.
However, if you'd like some not so current music, I'd be glad to tell you all kinds of bands I love.
I love when Arkie kisses my ass. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I can't do love songs, Momma. Just can not. But I am interested in your list, please.
*runs off to download Barry and hopes nobody notices*
Cross Canadian Ragweed
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Prince
Alanis Morrisette
Dwight Yoakum
Travis Tritt
Um.....I'll get back to you.
Oh sweetie. Download and listen. It's NOT a love song. I promise.
Okay, Michelle just got home so I'll have to come back later. And I promise I'll check out the song. But if it's a love song and makes me cry, I will be very mad at you. :)
Brooks & Dunn
Montgomery Gentry
Toby Keith
Carrie Underwood (I can't help it, I love her new songs)
I'm still thinking.....
Rolling Stones
Beach Boys
Okay, I lisrened, Momma. I know that song. I just didn't know that I knew it. *grin*
I have Carrie Underwood and TK and B&D and MG.
Ooooooh, I have it on random right now and Devil Went Down to Georgia is playing right now. *fiddles*
I'm mad because iTunes doesn't have the other Prince song that I want. *pout*
I lie. I found the song. :)
Do you like Joss Stone? How about Dave Matthews?
*GLARES*
You do not have any Keith Urban???
What is wrong with you????
Bob Dylan!
Suggie Otis!
Dave Matthews!
You need Little Big Town. I'll copy the CD for you.
Oh and I lurveeeeeeeeeeee that song Momma told you to download. Love it! I know all the words. *evil grin*
I didn't see Air Supply or Taylor Hicks listed or Chris Daughtry or that Ryan guy Glowie likes so much.
I also have 2 Mary J. Blige songs on mine: Family Affair and Real Love.
Of course I have Keith, Augie. Silly girl.
I have that CD, Breezy.
Oooh, I love Mary J. I have Family Affair downloaded already.
I have Joss Stone and I don't like Dave Matthews.
I didn't really so much care for Daughtry's new album. It all seemed very manufactured and I expected more from him.
I hadn't checked out Daughtery's album. So, is it as big of a disappoinment as Bo's was?
IMHO, yes, Arkie. His vocals are nice and all but the songs are too generic. Nothing jumped out at me.
Ooooh! Little Big Town. I need that CD.
*walks thru blog in red high heels*
You can watch me walk, if you want to want to
Awesome CD, Momma. I love the entire album.
What song is that, Breezy? *head tilt*
*blink blink* really? you don't know?
It's Pickler's. *giggle*
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT sing Pickler music in my blog. I can not stand her. Dumbest bitch ever to be on tv. Can NOT stand her.
you said it yourself, no one can hold a candle to me in my red high heelssssssssssssssssss
We don't really have the same taste in music, but I would recommend the song Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. You've probably heard it before (they use it on a lot of soundtracks and tv shows, it seems). It has a very cool sound to it.
*hugs* Sorry I missed the stress yesterday.
Updated stuff:
The Killers
O.A.R.
Augies Band (AKA Snow Patrol)
I would only recommend old Killers stuff. I'm not very impressed with the new cd. :( Maybe I just need to give it a few more listens.
oooooh yes Snow Patrol! Snow Patrol!
I like Shinedown, too.
*skips out in red high heels*
Well, I would have Janis-One Night Stand, Jimi-any, Barbra-any, Lennon-Imagine.
I also despise Paul Simon.
Zombs - YOU KNOW Shuggie Otis - wow. One awesome dude he is.
Oh, and IMHO there is no better music to make love to than the Isley Brothers.
And some old Oakland tunes - Tower of Power!
Ryan Star
Chris Daughtry
I just read through the comments. I love Boo.
Fucking blogger won't let me comment again. If this comes up twice, I'll be pissed.
I kind of agree with Jen about the Killers. Hot Fuss was a much better cd than Sam's Town, IMHO.
I told Shawn I want an iPod. Kind of an unrealistic request right now considering all there is to be considered. However, I am spoiled so there is a chance. Anyhoo... do you think it would upset him if I said, "Thanks for the RyPod?"
That should, of course, say "RyPod"?
*giggles* at Glow's RyPod.
Ummmmmmm, I don't see any Celine on your list :-)
Sorry Glow. There is no Ryan on my iPod and probably won't be. But I am going to put a 30 seconds to Mars one on there. :)
*SMACKS Kim*
Yay Jared!!!!! Which one, Sunshine?
oh. And why would you not put any Ryan on there? *confused*
I'm sorry Nookie, no Celine. But I do have "That's what friends are for"
I don't know which one, Glowie. I don't know the names of the songs. But I like the album that you sent Michelle and will copy some of that on there. Sorry, I'm not a Ryan fan and don't really care for his stuff.
Ok. What about Jewel?
oh yes! I forgot I copied that for my woman. Cool beans. I love "Echelon" A LOT. :-) Oh wait. if I only copied one CD for her, it was probably A Beautiful Lie. "Echelon" is not on that one. Did I maybe copy both?
You are just bitter towards Ryan. Poor Ryan.
You could put some Shakira on there to shake your booty to. I *heart* Shakira.
Oh, and since Breezy mentioned AI, I was watching a re-run from last season (I never get to watch it DURING the season). I'm sorry, but who let Elliot on that show?
I was reminded how beautiful and confident Katherine McPhee is.
Nookie? I love you. Stop suggesting music. Just show up and smile and look pretty like you do so well. *grin*
No to Shakira.
I love Katharine but not so much her music.
Yes, Glow, I believe I have some Ryan resentment issues.
I'm not sure which CD you sent. It may have been both but I'm not sure.
oh! I just visited Meeeeeeeeemo's blog (haven't been there in a while *pout*) and saw mention of Jonny Lang! Yes. Get some of him. I haven't heard his newer stuff but his old stuff is fan.tas.tic.
*pout for Ryan*
I love this blog entry, btw.
Tears for Fears "Mad World"
I do like Jonny Lang adn Tears for Fears. Yay. Good ones.
How about the Pussycat Dolls "Don't you wish your gf was hot like me" *smirk*
ok, seriously, how about Crowded House, "Don't Dream it's Over"
Billy Idol, "Rebel Yell"
B-52's, "Rock Lobster" :-)
Much better Nookie. You can continue to play along.
I already have Pussycat Dolls and REbel Yell.
Yay! I get to play :-)
No Doubt, "Don't Speak" and "I'm Just a Girl"
One more:
Heart, "Crazy on You"
I have No Doubt's older stuff that most people haven't heard of. From their Beacon Street Collection album. Trapped in a box, stuff like that.
I have Heart.
Did you download "Red High Heels" yet? *giggle*
Yes Lasann! And that was a typo it is not Suggie Otis, Shuggie!
Everyone go try Shuggie Otis!
One more Kellie reference and I'll delete all of your posts. *glare*
Speaking of bands that sound like Crowded House (you didn't know we were, did you?)...who sand that song "Life in a Northern Town?" Chris loves that song. I think it's pretty neato, too.
Dream Academy
*innocent look* Kellie who?
Oh, right, you're old enough to know that.
Apparently I am.
Boy you people sure do talk about a lot of music I have never heard of.
May I suggest Ombra Mai Fu by Handel, Habanera by Bizet, or Clare de Lune - Debussy.
Failing that some nice Loreena McKennitt. I am particularly fond of her versions of Greensleeves and The Lady of Shalott.
LOL! That was comment number 69 so you have to do it.
I noticed there were 70 posts and wondered who got 69. I really should have known. *giggle*
You're not alone Swami. I haven't heard of many of these suggestions either. Well except for the country stuff.
Blue Rodeo Carey! You gotta have some Blue Rodeo. Bulletproof if my favorite but I love most of their stuff. I'm a Cuddy slut.
*giggles @ Breezy and Nookie*
Rock Star Supernova... *grin*
Shinedown, Shinedown, Shinedown!!!!
Oh, and some Green Day. No collection is complete without some Green Day.
