We were having thunderstorms yesterday (with a tornado watch) when I settled down for a session of iPod Roulette. Just like last month, a rather mellow assortment of songs. A nice contrast to the weather.
1. Like A Stone (Audio Slave) - This was Audio Slave's most successful single.
2. Anticipation (Carly Simon) - I love this song, but can't listen to it without thinking about ketchup.
3. Sloop John B (Beach Boys) - Even though I can sing along with many Beach Boys songs, they're not one of my favorite groups. This is from the Forrest Gump Soundtrack.
4. Magic Man (Heart) - Fantastic female rockers!
5. Ruby Rap (Eric Serra) - This is from one of my favorite movies.
6. Still (Commodores) - Okay, so I like The Commodores and I like Lionel Richie. It's a guilty pleasure.
7. Black and White (Three Dog Night) - This brings back memories of Junior High.
8. Poor Boy (Jeff Beck) - Another track from the album I wrote about here, again featuring Imelda May.
9. Caribbean Queen (Billy Ocean) - Very 80s.
10. Your Blue Room (Passengers) - This is from an experimental album recorded by U2. They decided to release it under another name since it was so different from their other stuff.
11. Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) - Does anyone remember this entry?
12. Pines of Rome: The Pines of the Janiculum (Respighi) - Our area symphony performed The Fountains of Rome last year. I enjoyed it so much that I came home and downloaded it along with this, the second part of Respighi's "Roman Trilogy".
13. Don't Stand So Close to Me (The Police) - Whoa! Does this song bring back memories from college! You see, I had this professor.... no, wait. I won't go there.
14. Does it Really Happen? (Yes) - My favorite group. Enough said.
15. Bach: French Suite #4 BWV. 815 2. Courante (Glenn Gould) - Finished off with a little classical piano.

Oooh, I love all of your songs! Ray keeps asking me if I want an Ipod (I have an MP3 player), but I just don't listen to music that much except for public radio. My kids think I'm nuts because I have poetry on my MP3 player. LOL! We had tornado warnings here, too. The rain hit about midnight, but all we got was some wind. Good reading weather. It's drizzling and cold today.
Blessings,
Marion
Doing better than I normally do - I've heard of half of these tunes you mention. I love Stairway To Heaven.
Love Heart! Magic Man is one of my faves. I had no idea about the U2 album. Now you have me wanting to listen.
Marion - I love my iPod, but I bet you'll be happier with the camera Ray is getting you.
Tracy - Half? We're improving!
Jen - I looked at Amazon and unfortunately it doesn't have any clips to listen to. If you want to read more about the album, though, go there and search for "Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1".
As always, the diversity of your playlist amazes me!
I love Chris Cornell (Audioslave). I think he's modeling now.
Ru-be-rod!!!
My songs of choice (besides Christmas music) have been:
"Soul Sister" - Train
"Just the way you are" -Bruno Mars
"Back to December" - Taylor Swift
"21 Guns" - Green Day
Kelly,
A very diverse music list, and I appreciated the links to the artists and groups as well. What you said
here and in your post about Jeff Beck's album definitely piqued my curiosity.
We have snow and frost here.
