Listography-Your life in playlists

[VAisForEagleLovers]

This was an interesting thing to do! These are in the same order as my playlist, not in the order of preference. I'm sure Margaritaville would be at the top! To my surprise, two of them are Christmas songs.

I'll have to think about this one!

[TimothyBFan]

How'd I forget Katmandu??? Good one VA!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I figured I had to include O Little Town of Bethlehem since I have, no kidding, 14 different versions of it just on my computer.

[Freypower]

I would have included Katmandu & Portobello Belle by Dire Straits, Seaside Rendezvous by Queen, Surfin' USA, Romance In Durango by Bob Dylan, I Love LA & LA Woman... it goes on & on.

The good thing about this topic is you can go back & forth & revisit previous lists if you wish. For the moment I have another one.

Songs To Play If You're Feeling Cynical Or In A Bad Mood

Before anyone says 'huh'? there are a lot of songs like this & it's just as valid as songs which make you happy. I'm not going to try & list preferences.

Digging In The Dirt - Peter Gabriel
That's All - Genesis
Workin' It - Don Henley
He Took Advantage (Blues For Ronald Reagan) - Glenn Frey
Get Over It - Eagles
Black Country Woman - Led Zeppelin
Money - Pink Floyd
Money, Money, Money - Abba (all songs like this really, which would include Felder's Money)
You Can't Do That - Beatles
I'm So Tired - Beatles
Ticket To Ride - Beatles
I've Had Enough - Wings
Where Do You Think You're Going - Dire Straits
Industrial Disease - Dire Straits
Boom, Like That - Mark Knopfler
Bad News From Home - Randy Newman (though this transforms my mood it is fundamentally about disllusionment)
The World Isn't Fair - Randy Newman
The Great Nations Of Europe - Randy Newman
Beast Of Burden - Rolling Stones
Sweet Neo Con - Rolling Stones
The Winner Takes It All - Abba
Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel

You get the idea.

Yes. Slightly unfair though. He does have some happy songs (Bright Side Of The Road, Moondance, Days Like This) but he can be very gloomy.

[EaglesKiwi]

Songs about places - just a couple off the top of my head & with a little help from iTunes (and everything Eagles/solo goes on here automatically of course! ). Some are very specific places, some more abstract...

Carolina In My Mind - James Taylor
Georgia Rain - Trisha Yearwood
Down On Mainstreet - Bob Seger
Does The Wind Still Blow in Oklahoma - Reba McEntire & Ronnie Dunn
Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
Bathe In The River - Hollie Smith (a bit of a stretch, but a river is still a place so it counts for me!)
Ride Across The River - Dire Straits (see logic above)
So Far Away - Dire Straits (really pushing it now, but far away counts as a place because it's not "here")
The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band
Under The Boardwalk - The Drifters
Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins
Englishman In New York - Sting
Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

[TimothyBFan]

Those are good, especially Fortunate Son & Land Of Confusion.

EK, I suppose I should applaud your choices of Ride Across The River & So Far Away, neither of which occurred to me. If I were to REALLY stretch it Sultans Of Swing is about South London.
