Jul

This week [July 10th] we are going to talk about music. I believe that our favorite music has alot to say about us so therefore, this challenge we are going to write about our
10 CDs I’d want to have with me if I were stranded…okay, I guess that effectively eliminates all sad songs, existential angst songs, and love songs (unless of course I was stranded WITH Craig – and in that case, we probably wouldn’t be listening to music! %-). So, what’s left?

I think if I were stranded, rather than current favorites, I’d want motivational, anthem-y songs to inspire me to build a raft, phone home, make a friend out of a volleyball, or something else to better my circumstances. Post iPod, I don’t really do the whole CD thing anymore – it’s all about playlists for me. So, here’s my Top 10 desert island playlist…

1. Up! (Shania Twain)
2. I Won’t Back Down (Tom Petty)
3. Sail On (The Commodores)
4. What About Now (Lonestar)
5. Don’t Stop Believin’ (Journey)
6. I Will Not Go Quietly (Don Henley)
7. St. Elmo’s Fire (John Parr)
8. I Can See Clearly Now (Holly Cole Trio)
9. Brand New Day (Sting)
10. Eye of the Tiger (Survivor)
