This is pretty all-encompassing of my musical taste - basically I like to listen to whatever sounds good at the time. Could be anything - I could have a favorite one day, listen to it 50 times and then not be able to listen to it again for 2 months. But I think that's what music is all about - connecting in the moment. That way, somewhere down the road, you'll hear that song again and think about that day when you absolutely could not stop listening to it. You'll remember the sights, the smells, the sounds, and how you were feeling.
As I'm writing this, I have my Top 50 playing in the background. Right now, I'm at #42. It's a classical piece that was in the movie "Master and Commander". I remember watching the movie and being moved by what happens while this song is playing...I remember my Dad coming home from work shortly after watching it and handing me the soundtrack to the film. (I have a slight obsession with movie scores). I remember going up to my room which was still painted bright blue, placed the CD in my boombox (oh yes, don't be jealous), and sitting and listening to the score from start to finish. Had to listen to every score all the way through at least once. But I got stuck on this song - and I cannot tell you how many nights I fell asleep to with it on repeat or got through my homework whilst it played in the background.
While the above list provides a slight glimpse into my favorites - it doesn't even glimmer at the other 4800 songs I have on my computer....Another day, another song, another memory.
