Your 'Celebrity Playlist?'

[letsgojunior]

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

Chop Suey- System of a Down or ANY System of a Down

We Belong- Pat Benatar
Everlong- Foos
Beautiful Day- U2
I Can Still Make Cheyenne- George Strait
Sleepwalker (acoustic)- The Wallflowers

Everlong- Foos
Beautiful Day- U2
I Can Still Make Cheyenne- George Strait
Sleepwalker (acoustic)- The Wallflowers

Dom, I absolutely love Dolly's "Jolene" and Pat's "We Belong." 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.

[Dom Heffner]

"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.

[rdiersin]

I'm with you RB on Amarillo by morning, also like The Fireman. Here are mine, (order doesn't matter)
1. You Don't Have to call me darling, David Allen Coe
1. Blue Moon of Kentucky, Bill Monroe
3. thirty-three, Smashing Pumpkins
4. Amarillo by Morning, George Strait
5. Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Flatt and Scruggs
6. One, Metallica

[Dom Heffner]

This is going to drive me nuts. Gotta add:

Disarm- Smashing Pumpkins
