Where’d I put my Walkman I mean IPOD…

Ok, so honestly I don’t have an IPOD I have a Sony MP3 player and yes it is a walkman.  Hopefully Members Only jackets will come back and I can stroll along the street in my ReeBok high tops beboppin to some Wham with my Flock of Seagulls hairdo.  I’d be so retro cool.

I’m making an audible on this blog.  These are not 10 random songs from my IPOD, how could they be I don’t own one.  Instead these are some songs that have a lot of meaning to me, along with a brief description of why that is so.

I remember pestering my brother and sister to play Boston and America when I was a kid, too young to play records myself.  These are two of my favs from them:

1.       America – Sister Golden Hair

2.       Boston – Rock and Roll Band

Two of my favorite bands from High School were The Outfield and Scandal.  They were just really fun groups and remind me of the joy of H.S.

3.       Scandal – The Warrior

4.       The Outfield – Your Love

This song reminds me of the awesome group of guys from my H.S. baseball team:

5.       Bruce Springsteen – Glory Days

Also what would H.S. be without sappy love songs or a song about heartache?  This song reminds me of a young heart too unwise to know the difference between love and obsession:

6.       Foreigner – Down on Love

These are some songs from H.S. that helped me get through the tough times of being an often depressed teenager:

7.       Triumph – Fight the Good Fight

8.       Never Surrender – The title of 3 different songs by Triumph, Bruce, and Cory Hart

A deceased love taught me that like this song says: it’s not always rainbows and butterflies its compromise that moves us along:

9.       Maroon 5 – She Will be Loved

This list would not be complete without a song from my favorite band of all time.  This song is not my favorite but it is an awesome song that is a true celebration of music and the joy that it can bring:

10.   Rush – Spirit of the Radio

How about a bonus song?

* Bonus                                Bob Marley – Three Little Birds

 I first heard this song with my wife appropriately enough.  She taught me: "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
