Those are good driving tunes when we go to the Outer Banks. Then I put in something rockin' to wake up. My boss has one of Bob Segar's GH CDs here in the office, and after it was playing for a while, I realized that it was great, and I liked every song on there. "Roll Me Away" is a great song by him that I've liked since I heard it in a movie.<BR/><BR/>**"GH" is 'Greatest Hits' not 'General Hospital' LOLJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071405721004631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-81981789681064931702007-05-17T15:25:00.000-04:002007-05-17T15:25:00.000-04:00I don't like the Beach Boys much at all...they sou...I don't like the Beach Boys much at all...they sound like they're whining.

I'd definitely be in my Top 5.<BR/><BR/>I'm like cycledan...I'd have a list of so many different types of music. (I'd choose "Rave On" by Buddy Holly and "Basket Case" by Green Day) I'd have to have at least one song by U2, probably "One" and something from one of their earliest releases, like "Bad"; I'd have some older REM on there, like "Turn You Inside Out" and "Begin the Begin". Tesla's "Love Song" is awesome, as is Skid Row's "I Remember You"...can you tell I was an '80s child!?

Even Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Crotche (sp?) is a song that stood the test of time. However it depends if I am making a list of widely accepted songs or my songs. I don't typically listen to them on my own so they don't make my list.<BR/><BR/>I listened to a Best of Joe Jackson CD I hadn't heard in a while. Some great songs on there.
