A sweet meme from the wonderful Mr. Summers. One of music's greatest pleasures is that it can reveal who you are at any given time. Right now, these are my answers. But, like all people that love music, I understand that I may not have answered the same way yesterday. I may not answer the same way tomorrow.
Either way, it's a good thing I'm doing this on the same Mac that contains my music library.
Four songs that you could listen to over and over:
Neil Finn, "Turn And Run"
Bright Eyes, "Lover I Don't Have To Love"
Ani Di Franco, "The Poet Game"
Maria McKee, "Panic Beach"
Four songs that drive you up the friggin' wall:
No Doubt, "Don't Speak" (more like, "Don't Sing")
Berlin, "Take My Breath Away" (yours first)
Def Leppard, "Pour Some Sugar On Me" (pour sugar on you and plant you in a fire ant hill)
Madonna, "Live To Tell" (because of this)
Four songs that you're embarrassed (or should be) to admit you like:
Olivia Newton-John, "Magic"
Firefall, "Strange Way"
Eponine in Les Miserables, "On My Own"
Asia, "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes"
Four best driving songs:
U2, "Where The Streets Have No Name"
Chingon, "Malaguena Salerosa"
Brian Setzer, "Drive Like Lightning, Crash Like Thunder"
John Hiatt, "Tennessee Plates"
Four songs that make you cry:
Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg, "Paris Nocturne/Since You Asked"
The Beatles, "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight"
Crowded House, "Four Seasons In One Day"
Ithzak Perlman, "Remembrances"
Four best risqué songs:
Lovage, "Sex (I'm A)" (a deadly-hot cover of the classic)
Madeleine Peyroux, "Dance Me To The End Of Love"
Squeeze, "Tempted"
Ella Fitzgerald, "Bewitched"
Four best kid songs:
Trout Fishing In America, "The Window"
Justin Roberts, "My Brother Did It"
Veggie Tales, "Where Is My Hairbrush?"
Animaniacs, "The Presidents"
Four songs I love to sing on karaoke nights:
Carmen McRae, "Whatever Lola Wants"
Garbage, "Stupid Girl"
Linda Ronstadt, "Blue Bayou"
Carpenters, "Superstar"
And a tag to any visitors. Leave 'em in the comments.

Hahaha. I know exactly what you're talking about. I HATE Gwen Stefani's voice. HATE IT.

That chirpy, breathy crap that masquerades as singing really pisses me off. The song was a flaccid piece of shite. When your song is the breakup anthem for a nation of eighth-graders, you should just go away.
I must say we have seriously parted ways musically since the old high school days. I don't know half the songs you love.
And...I hate to tell you this, but I still like "Pour Some Sugar on Me." I know...I know. Kill me now.
But I must say, I dug your karaoke suggestions. I love "Superstar" too. And I can kick ass on it in the car...when no one is listening.
Shanny -- blame iTunes. And the fact that I don't listen to the radio anymore. I haven't for years.
I'm not going to kill you over anything! Except, oh and this is bad, I thought of putting Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" in that part of the list.
Then I thought of Young Guns and couldn't do it.
Oh, Doc . . . .
Oh those Young Guns! Good times, my friend, good times!
And thanks for being so forgiving on my decidedly and admittedly unsophisticated and lame choices in music!
If people saw my iTunes library, some things in there would send them screaming for the hills.
I have my own horrifying little secrets. Maybe I'll reveal them in another meme.
