Jerri's Top 40!

How quickly would you be able name 40 of your favorite songs?

Here are the first 20 that popped into my head....

Some of mine surprised me in a pleasant kind of way.

"Buring Down the House." for example, brought back fond memories of The Top Hat bar in Missoula, Montana.

I can still remember shaking my booty to the nitty gritty blues of such artists as Tag Mahal and BB King (both of whom often performed live at the Hat)....

Those were the days my friends.....but hey, that's another great song (by Mary Hopkins) from long ago, isn't it?

Yes, well, read on McDuff!

The first 20 of Jerri's top 40, in no particular order:

1) "Fat Bottomed Girls" Queen

2) "Tangled Up In blue" Bob Dylan

3) "Frog Kissing" Chet Atkins

4) "What if God Was One of Us?" Joan Osborne

5) "Tainted Love" Soft Cell

6) "Burning Down the House" Talking Heads

7) "Whip It" Devo

8) "And They Will Know We Are Christian, By Our Love" Jars of Clay

9) "Neighborhood #1" Arcade Fire

10) "If I Should Fall Behind" Bruce Springsteen

11) "Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?" Delirious

12) "Stairway to Heaven," Led Zeppelin

13) "Imagine" The Beatles

14) "Light My Fire" The Doors

15) "California Dreamin" The Momas and the Papas

16) "You Can't Always Get What You Want" The Rolling Stones

17) "The Power of Two" Indigo Girls

18) "Yesterday" The Beatles

19) "Fire and Rain" James Taylor

20) "The Sound of Silence" Simon and Garfunkel

I'm old.
Old people don't listen to contemporary music.
Every now and then I do spin a piece of vinyl instead of the eight tracks; but that's as "contemporary" as I get!
LOL!
