I think I like all music (I know that everyone says that if you ask them because I've asked a lot of people, but I really do...something to do with moving almost every year of my life I think). Classic Rock is probably my most favorite kind: The Doors totally rock (who else could pull off playing an organ piano? I also lost my virginity with The Doors Greatest Hits cd playing in the background), CCR, Steppenwolf, The Beatles, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Ike & Tina, Fleetwood Mac, The Stones, David Bowie, Aerosmith... Classic R&B like the Temptations, Jackson 5, Gaddys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sam & Dave I definitely feel like an old soul when it comes to my favorite music, but I don't always live in the past. My first record was Purple Rain by Prince (so I think my mom kinda screwed me up with that one, but what can ya do?) My first cassette tape was Bad by Michael Jackson (When he was every kids' idol and we had to break dance for gym class in third grade...damn private school!). My first CD was LL Cool J (back N the day...) and then I really got into rap. I think the Beastie Boys were my all time favorite rap group from the begining of rap before MC Hammer stunk it up. I remember the day Totally Krossed Out by Kriss Kross was released...my older brother and I were actually waiting in line for the thing. Bel Biv Devoe used to be cool (not) and then I think Tupac kinda just took over the scene completely. Dr. Dre's The Chronic definitely ranks up there too. Then I moved in with my dad and wasn't allowed to listen to rap...so I started to get into rock like Metallica, Nirvana (MTV Unplugged is my favorite Nirvana album), Guns N Roses (Use your Illusion I and II kick ass), ZZ Top, ACDC, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots (ohhh...yeah that takes me back), Red Hot Chili Peppers... Then of course college came...hmmm...puff...Dave Matthew's Band!! and then I had this huge crush on Mariah Carey, so I bought every CD of hers--yikes...and then the Slim Shady LP came out and genres just kinda seemed to blend together. Music can connect people in a way that is so easy to feel--I put this playlist on here to share a bit more of myself with all of you. Although these songs are constantly being changed to reflect my mood or some door to the past that is opened up in my mind, they each really mean something to me--they bring to life an emotion or a memory that lingers in a very real way inside of my heart (so when you listen to these songs, take note of what comes to mind...feel the energy of the past inspiring you through the emotion created by your memory--memories are suveniers of immortal moments)...Music is so much more than just sound:
