On the drive home last night I caught myself tapping my fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of “Sunday Morning“ by No Doubt.  I thought:  “You know, I would be kind of embarrassed telling people that I like this song”.  It would be akin to telling people one of my top fav movies is Crocodile Dundee.

One of the reasons I’ve started this blogsite is to provide readers with a window to my persona - be it for the better or worse.  So to keep with the spirit of things, here are some songs I enjoy but would not have made others aware of if it weren’t for blogmania:

  • You Fill Up My Senses - John Denver
  • Tonight - NKOTB
  • Fernando - Abba
  • A Kiss At the End of the Rainbow (from “A Mighty Wind” Soundtrack) - Eugene Levy & Catherine O’Hara
  • The entire Bat Out of Hell and the Back Into Hell albums by Meat Loaf
  • The Search is Over - Survivor
  • I Don’t Believe in If Anymore - Roger Whittaker
  • It’s Only Make Believe - Glen Campbell version
  • Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
  • Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen
  • You Win Again - Bee Gees
  • Nova Heart - The Spoons
  • The Closing Theme to Crocodile Dundee - Pete Best

The following are really bad and this will likely shame me for life:

  • We Built this City - Starship
  • Roll with the Changes - REO Speedwagon
  • Making Love Out of Nothing at All - Air Supply

My ears often perk up to these songs - meaning I may turn the volume up a bit more when my iTunes randomly selects them from the thousand other songs - but it doesn’t mean this is the music that influences me and really gets me going.  That list I will publish some other time.  Not trying to make excuses, you know, just trying to make it clear that these, you know, aren’t, you know, my favourite songs.  Just, you know, I kind of like them is all.
