Wanna talk music anyone?

I'm making scrapbooks for each of my kids that's all about their dear mother...ME! so I was laying in bed thinking about my favorite songs- EVER... and I really did think that I could narrow it down to my top 3 songs ever. No..no, that didn't quite do it. How 'bout 5? Naw, I have a few more than that. 10? Nope, that doesn't cut it either. I finally narrowed it down to my top 72 songs. So if you don't know me really well, (wait, I just changed that to 75~ nice round #) then you don't realize how much I love music and I felt it needed to be added in the scrapbook. My life revolves around it. I sing non-stop, much to my families irritation, play piano and picking up the guitar. I just love music. When I was little (I love saying that now that I'm big!!), I had 2 friends that I would go to concerts with all the time. I've been to at least 30 concerts, some good and some bad. I own hundreds of CDs. And now that I have Youtube.... I'm in heaven! I know all of the lyrics to every song on my list. That is my requirement!

So here it goes, in no particular order. Songs w/ the * beside have special meanings or memories. And of course, I may have to explain myself on some of them, so bear w/ me!

*1. Lamentation~~Leah Andreone....great song! I listen to it when I'm depressed.
2. Strawberry Fields Forever~~ The Beatles...I actually like the "Across the Universe" version alot better. Definitely in my top 5 songs ever.
*3. Paint it Black~~ Rolling Stone... In my top 3. Maybe even #1
*4. Hurt~~ Nine Inch Nails AND Johnny Cash... Another of my top 5. I can't chose which version I like better, but I think I might lean towards NIN
5. Hey Jude~~ Beatles... Another I like "Across the universe" version better. also in top 5
*6. Incomplete~~ Backstreet Boys... Good song. I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring here and just say right now that I think that AJ is the best singer...and hot. He's got the tattoos. I can't help it. How old am I??
7. Stay~~ Lisa Loeb
8. Smells Like Teen Spirit~~ Nirvana
9. She's Gone~~ Steelheart... If you have never heard this song, you have to listen. I think it is amazing.. and that note he hits... WOW! You will know it when you hear it.
10. My Savior, My God~~ Aaron Shust
11. Drive~~ Incubus... Now playing on my phone. In my top 10
12. You are Holy (Prince of Peace)~~ Michael W. Smith
*13. Creep~~ Stone Temple Pilots... Used to listen to this song for hours on end in college when I was depressed. I think my roommate thought I was suicidal.
14. I Can't Hate You Anymore~~ Nick Lachey
15. In Christ Alone
16. Mercy~~ Duffy
17. Poison~~ Alice Cooper Alright... I know! This is a nasty song and an even nastier video, but it's part of my past. And I love it!
18. Dr. Feelgood~~ Motley Crue... and yes, I feel guilty when I hear my kids singing this song, but at the same time i realize that they are kids after my own heart!
19. Adonai~~ Avalon
20. Fly to the Angels~~ Slaughter
*21. Grey Clouds~~ Dakota Motor Company... Aww.. the memories. one of my favorite concerts
*22. Jesus Freak~~ DC Talk... another great concert-- actually fabulous since Kevin jumped on my head in the mosh pit!! Haha... I'm such a nerd!
23. She Wants to Move~~ N.E.R.D.... A dumb song, even dumber video but it makes me want to dance... if only I could!
24. What Goes Around ~~ Justin Timberlake... so true...
*25. I Remember You~~ Skidrow... Definitely a top 3 song. The only reason I started playing guitar. I almost started to hate this song when I saw Skidrow in concert. Absolute scariest night of my life ever (that's another story). Plus Seb Bach was so high on something he couldn't sing.
26. Only Time Will Tell~~ Nelson... sigh... Some of you will understand that!
27. Our Song~~ Taylor Swift
*28. Knees to the Earth~~ Watermark... WOW! one of my favorite worship songs. It used to move me to tears.
29. Sexy Back~~ Justin Timberlake
30. Kick Start My Heart~~ Motley Crue
*31. I Saw Red~~ Warrant... One of their lesser known song, but their best- IMO
32. House of Fire~~ Alice Cooper... I had to throw in the other nasty A.C. song. Just as bad as the first.
*33. Slipped Away~~ Avril Lavigne... So I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything by A.L. so it would be redundant to list every song she has so I'm just listing my absolute favorites. I do prefer her angrier stuff though. Her newer stuff is a little to girly for me.
*34. Complicated~~ Avril
35. Girlfriend~~ Avril
36. My Happy Ending~~ Avril
*37. Nobody's Home~~ Avril... I love this video
38. Don't Tell Me~~ Avril
39. 18 and Life~~ Skidrow
*40. What Hurts the Most~~ Rascal Flatts... The one and only country song
41.Consume Me~~ DC TALK
*42. Heartbreak Station~~ Cinderella... I swear... I can't even begin to say what this song meant to me when I was in high school
*43. After the Rain~~ Nelson... sigh... again... my favorite concert ever... 3rd row floor. I still have the guitar pick they threw
44. Patience~~ Guns n Roses
45. You Give Love a Bad Name~~ Bon Jovi
46. Signs~~ Tesla... another fun concert
*47. Praise You in this Storm~~ Casting Crowns... makes me cry EVERY single time I listen to this song...it was played at a dear friend's funeral who committed suicide. So, so good for us here on earth.
48. Since U Been Gone~~ Kelly Clarkson
*49. Youth Gone Wild~~ Skidrow
*50. I Wish We'd All Been Ready~~ DC Talk
51. Every Rose has it's Thorn~~ Poison
52. Rebirth~~ Skillet
53. The Kill~~ 30 Seconds to Mars... I really like their acoustic version of this song is better, but I'll take either...not mention how hot Jared Leto is.
54. What if I Stumble~~ DC Talk
*55. More Than Words~~ Extreme... One of my top picks. This song has more meaning than anyone can begin to imagine. My parents passed this fabulous gene to me that doesn't allow me to audibly tell people that I love them. Nice, huh? Anyhow, this song made me realize they did tell me that they loved me by their actions. still chokes me up a little. and I realize that it was a love ballad between couples but you take things how you need them when you need them. Oh! and ah-hem... Nuno Bettencourt... I will leave it at that.
56. Never Again~~ Kelly Clarkson
57. Quicksand Jesus~~ Skidrow... another not good song, but I feel in love w/ it, good gravy, can that man sing or what?
58. Sweet Child O' Mine~~ Guns n Roses
*59. Let it Rain~~ Michael W. Smith
*60. Be Thou My Vision... My all-time favorite hymn. I want this song played at my funeral just so everyone knows. And in case something happens to me soon... remind Rob. I'm sure he has forgotten I said this.
61.No Air~~ Jordan Sparks
62. I'll Be There For You~~ Bon Jovi
63. Here I Am to Worship
64. While Shepherds Kept Their Flocks By Night... my favorite Christmas song
65. Home Sweet Home~~ Motley Crue
66. You are my All in ALL
*67. My Jesus, I love Thee... reminds me of my choir teacher that was murdered. She taught the whole school sign language for this song so her deaf parents could "hear" it
68. Behind These Hazel Eyes~~ Kelly Clarkson
69. Beautiful Savior~~ Casting Crowns... yep... a really good one if you need a reminder of how great our God really is
70. Wasted Time~~ Skidrow
71. If I Fell (in love w/you)~~ Beatles... Once again, like the across the universe version better
72. While my guitar gently weeps~~ Beatles (see above statement)
73. I Wanna Hold your Hand~~ Beatles (see above statement)
74. What's left of Me~~ Nick Lachey
75. Me and You~~ Cassie

Did I miss any? Feel free to add your favorites. I know I missed some good ones out there.


edit:: I forgot one!!!! Canon in D... piano version. Simple and beautiful. I really wanted to walk down the aisle to this song, but it was yet another thing that I didn't get my way with at my own wedding.
