Which song on this list...

Makes you think of a friend?
Obviously, if I've seen any of these bands or performers in concert, then those songs remind me of the people I went to the concert with. Other than that... I'd say that 'How To Save A Life' reminds me of Mel and the girls, because our band learned that song last year and there are lots of memories tied up in that - happy and sad.

Makes you think of more than a friend?
'Chasing Cars' always makes me think about Geoff because we were dating when that song was played five times an hour on the radio by law.

Makes you dance?
All things Timbaland.

Makes you sing in the car?
Um, most of them. But Roxette is always the worst offender. You know that if we've ever been on a road trip together. (Amber, ask Orv about the Heart-fest he endured on the way to Jason's cabin a couple of summers ago... hehe. What a gentleman.) Oh, and I'm entirely convinced that I *am* Martha Wainwright in that Snow Patrol song.

Makes you remember something great?
All the Lenny Kravitz stuff, and you know why. BEST CONCERT EVER, even though my entire body felt like some sort of sadistic science experiment before, during, and after.

Makes you laugh?
Definitely 'Creep' because of all our Cocoon karaoke parties, and the thousands of times that song has been performed there.

Surprised you?
'Billie Jean' because it appears to be on my list twice... And neither time by Michael Jackson :)

Embarrassed you?
The Keith Urban song. It's all Emily's fault, and nobody was supposed to know.

Any overall observations?
Yep. I appear to be living about a decade behind the rest of the world :)

Anything you want to say in your defense?
Nope. If you hate my music, then don't ride in my car. It's really quite simple.

Oh, I love your list!! It made me smile because it was pretty much exactly the way I thought it would be.

Yay, this gives me something to post on my blog :)

Haha - I just posted this to mine too, it was entertaining to read yours, and then see what kinda story mine would tell. Good work!

Oh, "creep", I think I heard that at least three times on Friday...AND, I'd heard about the cabin road trip, believe it or not. But I can't remember if it was you or Orv that told me.

When you come back I'm going to randomly sing out 'Creep' :)
