I've always thought of myself as someone with eclectic music preferences, but my library mostly consists of classical pieces and movie soundtracks, making my claim of eclecticity dubious at best. But I dug out my Christmas present of music download gift cards, and now I can legitimately claim to like most anything. Here are my selections from last night:
| Lose Yourself (from 8Mile) | |
| Eminem | |
| YMCA | |
| Village People | |
| Rock And Roll | |
| Led Zeppelin | |
| You Know My Name (from Casino Royale) | |
| Chris Cornell | |
| My Girl | |
| The Temptations | |
| You've Got A Friend In Me (from Toy Story) Randy Newman | |
| Mad World (from Donnie Darko) | |
| Michael Andrews | |
| Take On Me | |
| a-ha | |
| Flying Theme (from E.T.) | |
| Boston Pops |
So there you have it. Rap, oldies, classic rock, 80's synth pop, depressing, uplifting, feel good and contemporary rock, all here. Oh, and YMCA.
Just something light to share with everyone.
To buy the whole CD, you had to like the band/singer A WHOLE LOT, and you had to like everything on the CD. The nice thing about music downloads is you can just get the songs you like, without spending $20. That's probably why your CD collection is not that varied (you only buy CDs of the stuff you really, really like, and the stuff you know you're going to like all of it, for a long time).
ReplyDeleteThe new freedom to buy individual songs allows people to get just those few songs they like, and since you're spending 99 cents on a song -- as opposed to $20 on a CD -- you can buy stuff you sort-of like without feeling guilty.
