I was thinking... Isn't it amazing how you can forget people's names, or the answers to a test, yet you can recite every word of Natalie Imburglia's "Torn"? Once you know a song, your brain just seems to store it in a specially made song compartment for future use! Perhaps we have radio's repeated playlists to thank for this... or drunken nights singing (or screaming) along to your favourite songs at the local pub.
I was thinking...
How cool it is that one single song, or a band, or muscian, can take you to a different place in your life, or remind you of someone you once knew. I have songs that scream "high school prom", "going out when I just turned 18", "my obsessed with The Doors phase" and "all-time happy songs". You could create a thousand playlists on your iPod to take you right through your life.
I was thinking...
There are no real "super" groups or bands anymore. Sure there are HEAPS of great bands, good singers and cool songs... but does any star today really have the status of The Beatles, Madonna or Michael Jackson (in his day)? Music is so recyclable now... click, download, click, play, click, delete... shuffle 10,000 songs instead of playing your favourite classic albums.
I was thinking...
How hard it would be to choose an absolute top 10 favourite songs of all time. But I've tried! I could have listed 100. (I'm sure it will change as soon as I think of a great song I've forgotten) See my list below and add a comment to let me know what you would choose : )
1. Tiny Dancer, Elton John
2. Drive, Incubus
3. Hello I Love You, The Doors
4. Cailin, Unwritten Law
5. Fast Car, Tracy Chapman
6. Diamonds on The Inside, Ben Harper
7. Don't Speak, No Doubt
8. Landslide, Fleetwood Mac
9. With or Without You, U2
10. My Friend, Groove Armada
