groovin'

so i think that I am finally reachin' that point in my life where I only want to listen to "throwbacks" (music from back when I was younger or what was played a lot in my house growin up).

Currently on my pandora playlist I have the following stations:

Lenny Kravitz

Jason Mraz (Awesome!!!)

Sade (Awesome!!!)

Justin Timberlake

Beyonce

Motown

Whitney Houston

John Mayer

U2

As you can see I have a very eclectic taste in music .

I remember when my momma used to tell me - "Boy you don't know good music, this stuff you listening to isn't real music." that would be followed by me sayin - "Yeah Ok." then I would get into a debate on why a particular artist is hot. Funny how now I am havin these conversations w/ my students. It amazes me how passionate they are about their music.

I can understand that though b/c music can paint a picture of an individual. Not sayin that you should judge a person from their music taste, but you can get a pretty good grasp on their personality. The big debate that I tease them on all the time is on a particular female artist who is the hot thing at the moment w/ a ridiculous name and shall remain nameless :)

for me some of her lyrics make no sense non-whatsoever.

What happened to music w/great lyrics and melody? there are a few artists out there I feel are true artist and are not just an entity: Lenny Kravitz, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Justin Timberlake, U2, Maroon 5, Coldplay, Whitney Houston (shut up :P), just from the top of my head.

Music to me plays such an important part in a person's life. I will close this with song's I feel that are the soundtrack to my life:

1. "Nothin' But Love" - Whitney Houston
2. "Fix You" - Coldplay
3. "Back At Your Door" - Maroon 5

7. "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" - U2
8. "A Message" - Coldplay
9. "Pick Up Off The Floor" -MIKA
10. 'Pieces Don't Fit Anymore" - James Morrison
11. "Songs About Jane" (Full Album) - Maroon 5 - Just about every freakin' song on there has describe my feelings @ one point or another
12. "Better Days - Janet Jackson
13. "Can't Help It" - Michael Jackson
14. "Geek In The Pink" Jason Mraz
15. "One" - Mary J. Blige & U2

17. Heartbreak Warefare" John Mayer
18. "St. Patrick's Day" - John Mayer
