Today's First Ten

This is not to be confused with like a Top Ten or anything...it's not necessarily my favorite songs...just happens to be the first 10 songs that played on my computer when I came into work. I have, at last count, over 3000 MP3s on my computer. They range from Dylan to Dave, Buffett to Bruce, No Doubt to D12 and all points in-between. I have set up several playlists depending on how I feel but my favorite is the random playlist that jumps all over the place. Today, I will give you the first 10 songs that play and just a quick bit of information why I like the song (I like all my music). Usually, these songs can determine how my entire days goes:

1. Boys of Summer - The Ataris - This is a remake of the Don Henley classic. Usually I don't like remakes but I think The Ataris did an excellent job with this song and it is definitely a keeper.

2. Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy - This song is awesome. The guitars are amazing and it's just a rocking song. A real classic.

3. Starry Starry Night - Don McLean - In case you don't know, Don McLean sang the immortal American Pie. This is a very slow song...but really nice. It feels like it should just kinda end and not go into another song...it's going to be hard to follow.

4. Longview - Green Day - This is from the breakout album Dookie...circa. Sping, 1994. I can't believe it's been that long...anyway, Green Day is definitely a fave and this is just one of their many great songs...awesome.

5. Eclipse - Pink Floyd - From the legendary "Dark Side of the Moon"album. Once again, just a classic song...it stands on its own but is so much better when played with the entire album.

6. Beautiful - Snoop Dogg - One of the more laid back Snoop songs...plus it feature Pharrell. Whenever he's involved, you know it's a pretty cool song...

7. The Kids Don't Like It - Reel Big Fish - Reel Big Fish is an awesome ska band. This is probably my favorite song from all the CDs I have of theirs...so, it's cool that it came up. If you haven't heard them, it's worth the price.

8. Two Pina Coladas - Garth Brooks - When I say my musical tastes are all over the place, this should prove it. A little country to add to everything else...and, like it or not, Garth is cool. At least his old stuff was anyway...

9. Rock & Roll High School - The Ramones - The Ramones are just classic in every way. This is just one of many great songs they made...a real classic after all these years.

10. Tequilla Sunrise - Eagles - The Eagles have made so many great songs...this is definitely in the top 5 for them though. Kind of a downer song but nice to listen to. Definitely fits in the rotation...

So, that was the first 10 songs that played today...like I said, there's a whole lot more on here...but I would gladly listen to all 10 of these some more. Apparently I like them since they stay on the computer...
