I can't remember the name of the magazine, but it was free at Tower Records. There were always these lists of people's DID's (Desert Island Discs). The premise was to determine what 10 or 15 albums you would want if you were stranded on a island and could only listen to these albums forever. I thought we could try it out, but I'm listing my Top 10 songs. It was actually quite difficult to put the list together, I mean this is it. You are stuck with these songs forever, it's all you get. Here it goes, in no particular order:
Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
One - Creed
Keep The Faith - Bon Jovi
This Is How A Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
Into The Mystic - Van Morrison
Alive - Pearl Jam
Love Song - Tesla
Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots
Shimmer - Fuel
That's it, I think. I change one, then change it back...again and again. Let's see what you can come up with!
UPDATE: I'm going to have to break the rule and go to 11 (no cracks from the Spinal Tap people, I hate that movie). I've forgotten a song that would be in my top 3, after Bruce and Van Morrison. The song is titled 'I Am' by the band Train. I honestly feel sometimes that the song was written for me. If you want to see the lyrics, click here http://www.lyricstime.com/train-i-am-lyrics.html
