Soundtrack of your life...

I posted this topic on our boards a week or so ago & it was a big hit, hence the repeat here....

If you had to pick 10 songs (+/-) that would appear on the "soundtrack of your life" what would they be? You can include "why" if you feel like doing so...another "just for funner."

*Keep in mind that these aren't necessarily "favorite" songs - just those that have enough significance to be included on your own personal soundtrack.*

Mine are (numbered, but actually in no particular order...):

1. Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
2. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys - Willie Nelson
3. Least Complicated - Indigo Girls
4. Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
5. Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman - Bryan Adams
6. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
7. True Companion - Marc Cohn
8. American Pie - Don McLean
9. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
10. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town - Pearl Jam
11. Book of Days -Enya
12. the entire Little Earthquakes CD - Tori Amos

Yep!

K~

Oh this one is going to be fun and difficult! Let's see

1. Take on me - A-ha
2. Who wants to live forever - Queen
3. It's my life - Bon Jovi
4. Complicated - Avril Lavigne
5. All I ask of you - Phantom of the Opera
6. All about soul - Billie Joel
7. One Step Closer - Linkin Park
8. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday - Boyz II Men
9. Pour que tu m'aimes encore - Celine Dion
10. If I had a million dollars - Barenaked Ladies

*Keep in mind that these aren't necessarily "favorite" songs - just those that have enough significance to be included on your own personal soundtrack.*


Hmmm....Well, here is 10 of mine....kinda show's my age but they do all hold a significance somewhere in my life/

Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
Free Bird - Lynard Skynard
American Pie - Don McLean
Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot
Fat Man in the Bathtub - Little Feat
Seven Bridges Road - Eagles
The Perfect Country and Western Song - David Allan Coe
White River - Steve Miller Band
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

1) Growing up - Peter Gabriel
2) Woke up this morning - Alabama 3
3) Dreaming tree - Dave Matthews Band
4) Hurt - Nine Inch Nails.
5) Redemption - Conjure One
6) Vesuvio - Spacannapoli
7) Sky blue - Peter Gabriel
8) No way out - Peter Gabriel
9) Grieve - Peter Gabriel
10) Losing my religion - R.E.M

In no order:

1) Melissa Etheridge - All American Girl
2) Placebo - English Summer Rain
3) Garbage - Fix Me Now
4) Nine Inch Nails - All the Love in the World
5) U2 - Acrobat
6) Tom Petty - Wildflowers
7) Timbuk3 - The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
8) Garbage - Cup of Coffee
9) Queen - The Show Must Go On
10) Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood
11) Dobie Gray - Drift Away

There might be some better selections to that list, but that's what I can think of for now... I did not pick the first song, my friends did a long time ago when we were thinking of one theme song for life right now. At the moment I'l having a harder time picking happier songs..doesn't help that I feel like complete garbage at the moment (physically)

There are two songs I absolutely love and cater to my warped sense of humor. Anyone actually ever heard of them? The Aadvark Song and The Drinking Man's Diet both by Allen Sherman.

Hmm ... good question, Kara. I'm sure if I answered on a different day, my answers would change a bit, but here's today's version:

1) Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul, and Mary
2) Yellow Submarine - Beatles
3) Desperado - Eagles
4) You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
5) My Generation - The Who
6) Hair of the Dog - Nazareth
7) Circle Game - Joni Mitchell
8) Tequila Sheila - Bobby Bare (Shel Silverstein)
9) The Weakness In Me - Joan Armatrading
10) Get Out the Map - Indigo Girls

It's interesting to see y'all's songs. There are a bunch of them that I like or that have meaning for me too. I think my real soundtrack would have to have at least 20 songs, though. :)

Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to notice this thread. I love music with a passion; there are times in my life it was all I could count on. Here is my soundtrack, though it is hard to pick just 10. In no particular order.

Nine inch Nails- A Warm Place
Type o Negative- Too Late; Frozen
Anthrax- Black Lodge
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- Do you love me? (maybe my favorite song..)
Warrant- Bitter Pill (don't knock Warrant; this is an awesome song.)
Mr Bungle- Pink cigarette
Depeche Mode- In your Room
The Beatles- Hey Jude
Walk Don't Run (not sure who it's by, instrumental guitar)
Girl you'll be a Woman Soon (the remake from Pulp Fiction)

Bonus Track: Poison- Fallen Angel (had to add that!)

LOL...don't worry - this isn't mean to be all-inclusive, just to share some of the must-haves. My actual soundtrack is up around 500 songs at the moment. ;)

Bungle/Patton and Pink Cigarette - excellent - happy to see that!

Walk Don't Run is the Ventures I am pretty sure.

This would be a difficult list for me to compile though.

Place Where the Black Stars Hang - Lustmord - all sprawling 50+ minutes of it.
Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Demon of the Fall - OPETH - hell ANYTHING Opeth at all is uber
Tongue of Flame - Transglobal Underground/Natacha Atlas
The Illusion of Motion - YOB (wish I could go see them Sunday)

(30 minutes later I realize I can distill it no further - there are too many great songs)
