You realize of course, that any person’s life could never fit on one CD volume. So it goes on. :)
01: Sweet Child O’ Mine – Guns ‘n Roses
This is probably one of my all-time favourite songs. I guess because it reminds of a time when I was carefree, not a damn worry in world. Midnight runs to the shore, countless hours just talking about stupid shit all night long in diners, and just making mischief and getting in trouble with the cops. Ah, those were the days.
02: All the Small Things – Blink 182
I love this song! It’s so true. I wish this song was all day long. It’s THAT good. Plus it reminds me of the Charlie’s Angel movie with Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore.
03: Otherworld – Final Fantasy X
This song rocks! If you’re not familiar with the game Final Fantasy X, then you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about, but this is the song that plays at the first Blitz Ball game. :)
04: Ultra Mega – Powerman 5000
Although I never seem to hear about these guys anymore, I like to listen to their stuff. :) Well, that’s with a lot of groups hehe. This song is just full of adrenaline. And has that “Rob Zombie” sound. :)
05: Hot for Teacher – Van Halen
Ok, this has got to be one of the best songs from 1984. Everyone listened to it, everyone wanted to play it, everyone loved it. Also, videos were pretty popular then too, and well, who didn’t love the video for this song!? :)
06: La Villa Strangiato – Rush
This song is just a myriad of songs in one it seems. It always reminds me of the bugs bunny cartoon with the big furry monster that chases bugs all around the castle. You know the one. Makes me laugh everytime I think of it. heh.
07: It’s the End of the World as we know it (and I feel fine) – R.E.M.
Who in the world could not love this song. Of course, everyone wanted to be able to sing it as well. But how many succeeded? :) I went to see REM in concert, and not even Michael Stipe could sing it right hehe.
08: Skankin’ to the Beat – Fishbone
Say Anything is still one of my favourite movies of all time. I just love this song! :)
09: Spiderwebs – No Doubt
I think I want to marry Gwen. She’s so great! :)
10: Where the Streets have No Name – U2
Do you remember seeing the movie Rattle and Hum? If not, then shame on you. Of course you might not like U2. But if you do, then you should. Anyways, the first half (or more) of the movie was in Black and White. There was a point it faded to black, and you could hear this song starting to play. First the keyboards kicked in, then you could hear The Edge playing the guitar. Then the stage went full colour in bright red, everything lit up and Bono started singing. “I want to run…I want to hide…I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside….I want to reach out and touch the flame…Where the streets have no name…” Man….I LOVED it. It’s like being blind and deaf and suddenly seeing and hearing. Gotta love it.
11/12: I Would Die 4 U/Baby I’m a Star – Prince and the Revolution
These two songs I loved in the movie. If you saw the movie, then you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t seen the movie, check it out.
13: Lady Marmalade – Mya, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim
When I saw Moulin Rouge, at first I wasn’t quite sure what to think. But as I watched, I started loving it! It was weird, dark, and hilarious. Who could ask for anything more? :) Loved the whole Lady Marmalade scene in the movie too. :)
14: Livin’ On a Prayer – Bon Jovi
If I said this song didn’t even remotely remind me of New Jersey I’d be lying of course. Bon Jovi has always been a favourite of mine since I saw them first at Six Flags Great Adventure. This song is so much about New Jersey it’s not even funny. I’ll always be reminded of Jersey and all the fun I had there. Sometimes I really miss the shore. A lot.
15: A Thousand Miles – Vanessa Carlton
When I heard this song the first time, it was on VH-1. I usually never watch those music channels anymore, you know, because they always have a bunch of stupid shows that I really don’t care about. But there was a block of videos being shown, and this song totally caught my ear. I loved the piano and the voice. The song is good too. This song will always remind me of St. Louis in the years to come I’m sure. :)
16: If you Leave – OMD
When Pretty in Pink came out, everyone I knew went to go see it. It’s a classic John Hughes film after all. This song totally took over the lives of the friends around me. We loved the soundtrack, the songs, the movie, everything. Man… those were the days.
17: Uncle Tom’s Cabin – Warrant
This song just makes me think of all the little stupid adventures my friends and I would make as kids. Everywhere I’d go, I’d think of some small story about “what happened here?” This song particularly makes me think of a trip I made to Coshocton, OH. :) Wow, that weekend went by in a blur. :p Probably a good thing too. hehe. “I know a secret down at Uncle Tom’s Cabin…I know who put the bodies in the wishing well!”
18: That’s Life – David Lee Roth
Ok, this song just about says everything I think. Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. If you watched the video, DLR showed quite a bit of footage where he was down. Of course, this song is a remake, but I do like this version. :)
“That’s life…and I can’t deny it. Many times I thought of quitting babe, but my heart wouldn’t buy it…”
