It’s been awhile since I popped in the ear buds and escaped from the world through music. Rather than picking and choosing, I opted for a round of iPod Roulette. My only disappointment was not having any jazz come up. Overall, a pretty good session! Of course the YouTube clips are not necessarily the versions I listened to.
1. Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan) – I think Dylan is a great songwriter, but don’t always like listening to him sing. This is one of his better vocal performances, in my opinion.
2. One of These Nights (Eagles) – Okay… so I can’t hear the Eagles anymore without thinking of Quid! This is from their early stuff, which I prefer.
3. Can’t Get Enough (Bad Company) – One of those groups I rarely think about, but do enjoy a few of their songs.
4. My Sweet Lord (George Harrison) – I’ll be honest here. George was always my least favorite Beatle. This IS one of his better songs, though.
5. Bring the Rain (Mercy Me) – This group has some of best Contemporary Christian Music out there and this song never fails to lift me up.
6. Crazy [D-Influence Mix] (Mark Morrison) – I’ll never forget the first time I heard this. I’d bought the CD (back before I had iTunes and could get singles) for another song (Return of the Mack). The whole family was in the car when I popped it in the CD player the first time and the look on my husband’s face was priceless! NOT his kind of music!!
7. Love Bites (Def Leppard) – Decent classic rock.
8. Misunderstanding (Genesis) – This song is from the Duke album. I love the whole album, which tells a story when played in its entirety, but it’s apparent that their sound was starting to go “pop” at this point. My favorite Genesis is from the early 70s (Selling England by the Pound).
9. A Medley: For Sentimental Reasons, Tenderly, Autumn Leaves (Natalie Cole) – Her voice is almost as smooth as her father’s.
10. Respect (Aretha Franklin) – My version is from the Blues Brothers 2000 movie. It’s a little different from the original, but still classic Aretha!
11. Mainstreet (Bob Seger) – One of those songs I can’t help but sing along to.
12. Misty (Johnny Mathis) – From the movie Play Misty for Me (or did the song come out before the movie? I have a couple of versions on my iPod including an instrumental.
13. Dude [Looks Like a Lady] (Aerosmith) – Other than their song Dream On from when I was a teenager, I didn’t appreciate this band until I was in my 30s, I like lots of their stuff now.
14. Sweet Love (The Commodores) – One of those guilty pleasures. I love their smooth voices!
15. Symphony No. 40 in G minor K. 550 II: Andante Con Moto (Mozart) – A pleasant way to end my iPod Roulette session.

o0o0oo0 love lots of those tunes, Sis!!!
Loved it...! Thanks for the soundbite on the Eagles music. I had the newest in my CD player before I went online.
JM has the definitive version of "Misty", but Erroll Gardner, the great jazz pianist performed it in the year of my birth, 1954. I had an uncle who was really into jazz and almost convinced my mom to go with "Misty" as my middle name, instead of "Marie". She was too traditional! (Later on, I had a westie named Misty). This is one of my all time favorites, and I will never grow tired of the Eastwood movie.
Needed to get you your football info, so here it is:
Big upset week. Oklahoma, Missouri and LSU all lost. Texas is now on top. TN lost to #10 Georgia. Sorry, Kel.
