Brian's
List of 241 songs that he likes.
Brian:
"Why so many? Well, this was the master list. MP3 CDs can
"only" hold about 210 three-minute songs. So, I had
to cut many out. Some I just didn't have on CD nor did anyone.
Some I forgot about until afterwards.
Some I added while I was transposing the
list. Hee hee. Because I'm sneaky. And because I've gained new
favorite songs in the last couple weeks.
Anyway this wasn't a truly serious endeavor . So who cares? It
was a source of fun and examining what it is that makes me love
a song. I realize many are tied to events and moods, i.e. "I
was doing laundry in Amherst on a perfect July day the first time
I heard "Rowboat". Or "I got this girl's phone
number then turned on the radio and heard this Depeche Mode song".
It's all tied to life, which for me, is what music is a huge part
of. Don't end sentences with prepositions."
