I go back in forth between different Elliott Smith songs being my favorite. Last year it was Say Yes, a song I had originally downloaded from Napster many years ago with the incorrect title The Morning After. It wasn't until I bought the album a few years later that I realized the real title.

And that's it! Goodbye, 30 Day Music Challenge.

My dad pretty much just listened to country music. However, the earliest exception I can recall is when Top Gun came out when I was 8 or 9 years old and he bought the soundtrack mostly because of Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. I'll always remember that my dad seemed to drive faster when this song started playing. I love how this song is both awesome ( Read more... )

Guilty by Nine Inch Nails wannabe band Gravity Kills because well, the title is Guilty and actually the first WoW guild I was in was a PvP guild called GUILTY and this was our theme song.

And songs don't make me feel guilty so I just picked a song called Guilty. :P

Hot for Teacher by Van Halen starts with an amazing drum solo. I've seen Van Halen Live and in the middle of the show, Alex does his drum solo which perfectly segues into the band coming back on stage for this song. I tried learning drums when I was a kid, but just couldn't do it. I wish I had stuck with it so I could play this.

I can't play any instruments. But I did master playing Mary Had a Little Lamb on one of my son's toys, so here is a "toy version" of that tune I found on YouTube in case I don't have time to upload my own.

Beware, because this song is very NSFW. Lucky the Donkey by Guttermouth might be the raunchiest song ever. Also, I'm kind of glad I missed a day so I couldn't post this on Mother's Day.

Smile by Nat King Cole just because of the Charlie Chaplin connection really.

I already got married and the only song that played at our wedding was Faithful Friend by Twila Paris and Steven Curtis Chapman. It's not usually a song I would listen to, but the video that my in-laws attached to the song was a great part of our wedding.

Miss Misery (Early Version) by Elliot Smith is so much better than the already great Oscar nominated version that was in Good Will Hunting. I think what makes it better is that it has a much sadder feel to it. The song that it turned into just seemed a bit too upbeat. What's funny about this version is that the words "Miss Misery" aren't even used ( Read more... )

Finding all the songs that match emotions thing seems kind of silly, so here's a song I really like and makes me crack up because it's so fast that I can't possibly sing along with it. The lyrics are pretty funny too.

It's Can I Borrow Some Ambition by Guttermouth, my favorite punk band when I was in college.
