I constantly find myself trying to determine what my favorite songs are, and to be honest, the list changes depending on my mood and what is going on in my life. That said, there are a few songs that I always go to, always turn up when they come on, or just genuinely love. This list is sort of all over the place, but I think that summarizes my musical interests fairly well. In no particular order, they are...
10. Possum Kingdom - The Toadies - I just love this song. Always have, always will.
9. Regulate - Warren G feat Nate Dogg - Try not to sing along to this song, seriously.
8. Elderly Woman Behind A Counter In A Small Town - Pearl Jam - Great song by an incredible band.
7. Bubble Toes - Jack Johnson - The first song Kerrigan could sing along with. It was priceless, and I always smile just thinking about it.
6. Two Step - Dave Matthews Band - My original favorite song from DMB, only got better after seeing it live on several occasions.
5. In Bloom - Nirvana - I can't have a list without Nirvana on it, they changed my musical world when they hit the scene, and this was always my favorite of theirs.
4. Shakedown Street - Grateful Dead - I will never forget hearing this for the first time. I was at an all night disco tent at Lemonwheel (Phish festival in Limestone, ME) when it came on. You should have seen me dancing!
3. Waste - Phish - One of my favorite bands of all time, and I just love this song.
2. Love Of A Lifetime - Firehouse - A cheesy song from the 80's, which is enough to make me love it, but it is also the first song Nichole and I danced to at our wedding. Enough said.
1. Thriller - Michael Jackson - No explanation necessary!
There are so many other songs that are close, but these are my absolute go to songs. Some day I'll do a top 50, which will cover songs by Bob Dylan, Soul Coughing, Matt Costa, Beastie Boys and many more. Until then, tell me some of yours, I'd love to find out if others have similar interests. I'm just saying...
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
