1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.
8 Mile by Enimem. White boy rap isn’t really my thing but this guy has a voice that rings true. Grace Slick says he is the Dylan of her daughter’s generation. I can’t go that far but I still turn that song up when I hear it.
2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain by Willie Nelson
Amazing Grace by any choir at a funeral
If these two songs don’t pull at your emotions, you are a vulcan.
3. Name three songs that turn you on.
Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by Al Green
Jungle Love by The Steve Miller Band (the first date song at a seventh grade dance)
4. Name four songs that always make you feel good.
Time Bomb by Old 97s
Rosalita by Springsteen
Welcome To The Jungle by Guns and Roses
Closer To Free by The BoDeans
This is the “driving-down-I-70-
from-Eisenhower-tunnel-cranked-up-loud mix.
It helps ease the traffic woes.
5. Name five songs you couldn’t ever do without.
This is hard. I am more of an album or artist guy and don’t think usually in terms of songs.
Lethal Injection by Slim Cessna
Born To Run by the Boss
Peace Love and Understanding by Elvis Costello
Big Brown Eyes by Old 97s
Take Five by Dave Brubeck
