Your 'Celebrity Playlist?'
One of my favorite things about iTunes is that you can view celebrity playlists, and see what different artists people listen to. Like Kevin Bacon has a great acoustic version of 'Stuck in a Moment' on his, and apparently Nicole Kidman is a big Outkast fan.;)
So I was wondering today what songs I would put on if I made up a playlist myself. Just 15-20 songs that move me, or that I listen to when I'm having a difficult time. I'm wondering what songs other zoners would select as well.
My list:
1) Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
2) Sullivan Street - Counting Crows
3) Everlong - Foo Fighters
4) Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
5) The Waiting - Tom Petty
6) Knockin' on Heaven's Door - GnR
7) Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
8) Better Man - Pearl Jam
9) In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
10) Follow My Way - Chris Cornell
11) Getaway Car - Audioslave
12) Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog
13) Fix You - Coldplay
14) Wonderwall - Ryan Adams
15) Closer to You - The Wallflowers
16) Let it Be - The Beatles
17) Crash into Me - DMB
18) Superman - Five for Fighting

Dom, I absolutely love Dolly's "Jolene" and Pat's "We Belong." :thumbup: Pat Benatar and Martina McBride did a great duet on "We Belong" on a CMT "Crossroads" special. I also like Strait, but "Amarillo By Morning" is my favorite Strait song.

"Amarillo By Morning" is my favorite Strait song.
Came a hair of putting it on the list. Something about "Cheyanne" I just like, though.
"We Belong" is one of those tunes that never grows old for me. If you ever get to hear it on a really good stereo and listen to it between the speakers...you can hear the guitar strums and the drums crystal clear- it is an amazing tune.
And now I have to add:
Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters- Elton John
Harmony-Elton John
Rocket Man- Elton John - same as "We Belong" - hear it close up on a great stereo and you'll hear things you never knew were there on the remastered version.

1. You Don't Have to call me darling, David Allen Coe
