Music to get you through.....

We all have had 'em.  You know the days that you could be a little more alert, a little more ready to face the day.  Or the days that you know will be a little bit more 'challenging' than most.  (that was so PC wasn't it...hee!)

So times like these call for music.....well in my world it does.

So my question to you today....is not necessarily what is your favorite 'song' but what groups, song,  and/or combo thereof do you listen to take you to it and get you through it.....

I don't care how embarassing it is.......admit it...live it....dance to it sing to it.....

and share it with me.....

My list goes a little sumpin' like this:

1) Jamiroquai ......because they got it all for when you need that oomph.....no matter what kind you need.  The angry but I don't care stuff, the I'm just jammin', or even shake my bootay stuff.

2) Earth, Wind and Fire ..... With songs like Fantasy, Sing A Song, Superstar, September.....how can you not be inspired.

3) The Foo Fighters....  I cannot just funk it up all the way through my life.....just 60% of it.  Sometimes I want to bang my head just a wee bit.  Plus I just like 'em.  My current personal fight song is The Pretender

4)  Lily Allen....  Because I want to be a bitch with sugar on top sometimes. 

5)  THE BEATLES....  I can't help it, I can't help it.....I just love them.  And they have the all occasion music too.  Plus I love George and John.  Mood fitting music.

6)  ABBA.... SHUT UP....SHUT UP.  I like them.  I am embarassed....but....wait.....no I am not....When I saw Muriel's Wedding.....it was cool because I knew I wasn't the only one who wanted to live in an ABBA song.

7)  Dave Matthews Band.....   Crazy Sexy Cool and Brooding in a 'I can brood and take a shower' kind of way.

8)  Music with Marimba in it...... If I had music to the way I walked.   I hope it would be Marimba.  One day I will sleep with a Marimba player because he has sexy music power.  That or I will learn how to play it for myself......but I am not as interested in sleeping with myself.   Thinking of Marimbas keep me from walking like cowbells.  Gotta have more cowbell.

9) Stevie Wonder....  It is infectious what can I say.  I remember that I used to just LOVE Sir Duke.  My dad was a musician.....and he has a love/hate relationship with Sir Duke because it can put a hurting on your fingers (he plays electric bass).  Hell, I love all of Stevie Wonder.....even the ooie gooey stuff.

10)  of course.....the classic...... Gloria Gaynor.....I will Survive but since this is one song.....I will add to it Mary Mary, Michael Jackson, and Swing Out Sister  because I have exceeded my numbers.

What's on your MP3, tape deck, CD player, 8 tack, reel to reel???????
