2 disc set?

My latest obsession is this new radio station called Charlie FM. Their motto is "We play everything", and they really mean it. They play everything from Neal Diamond to the Beastie Boys. I love it! One minute I am singing along to Prince and the next I might be shakin' my groove thing to KC and the Sunshine band. I get so nostalgic listening along. It is amazing how something as simple as a song can bring back so many memories. To quote Dick Clark of AM Bandstand fame, "Music is the soundtrack of our lives." So I got to thinking the other night, what might the soundtrack of my life look like?

Track 1 - Elvis Presley "Fools Rush In" As far back as I can remember, I loved Elvis Presley. I always thought he was so handsome. I remember watching all of his movies as a little girl. My favorites include Blue Hawaii and Kissing Cousins. He was my first Hollywood crush.

Track 2 - Madonna "Get Into the Groove" I was a child of the 80's. Need I say more?

Track 3 - Duran Duran "Please, Please Tell me Now" I can still see Simon LeBon in the video--blue shirt, blue tie, standing on a gray box of some sort in a strangely lit studio. It was love at first sight! MTV was new and I watched day and night hoping to catch another glimpse.

Track 4 - Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl" A song about a girl with brown eyes? A man after my own heart!

Track 5 - Bob Marley "Three Little Birds" I love the positive message of this one, "Don’t worry about a thing,’cause every little thing gonna be all right" Plus, who doesn't love Bob Marley?!?

Track 6 - Prince "Kiss" Timeless! Still sexy after all of these years and can definitely get me shaking my butt no matter where I am.

Track 7 - Beastie Boys "So Watcha Want" Reminds me of my boating days and all the good times under the sun with my Coors Light and bikini!

Track 8 - Dr Dre "Nuthin but a 'G' Thang" What can I say? I grew up in NoPo and although you can take the girl out the ghetto, you can never take the ghetto out of the girl. A little something from the old school. Plus it was our party girl theme song in college!

Track 9 - Depeche Mode "People are People" An all time club favorite. Another timeless beat that sounds just as good in 2005 as it did 20 years ago!

Track 10 - Phil Collins "Groovy Kind of Love" I love the simplicity of this one. It is a love song without being too overdone.

Track 11 - Boys to Men "Its So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" Absolutely tear jerker for me. A song I can dedicate to everyone I have lost.

Track 12 - Bill Withers "Lean on Me" I think this song brilliantly captures the meaning of friendship in such simple verse.

Track 13 - The Beatles "When Im 64" Silly, romantic, and sweet!

Track 14 - Queen "Bohemian Raphsody" Love the song, loved Wayne's World!

Track 15 - Jimmy Buffet "Margaritaville" One of my favorite driniking/campfire songs, "Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt--Salt! Salt! Where's the f*$%ing salt?!?"

Track 16 - Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places" Well, what more can I say?

Track 17 - Cool and the Gang "Celebration" An all time wedding favorite. And I love weddings!

Track 18 - Sir Mix-A-Lot "Posse on Broadway" This is one of those songs that is real nostalgic for me. It reminds me of my crazy high school party days.

Track 19 - Michael Jackson "P.Y.T" Before he was Whacko Jacko, he was the shit!

I think that is enough for one disc, but there are so many more titles. Probably 2 discs wouldn't be enough. I have barely made it past the 90's and there are so many more. Music is amazing. Nothing else can make me smile and cry at the same time, nothing else can move me to let down my inhibitions and groove, and nothing else can capture a memory so eloquently like a song!
