For us old farts, play lists and MP3 players and IPods are truly amazing! I remember having a Walkman as a teen, it played cassettes and munched them after several uses. Then there was the player for CD's, if you breathed the wrong way it skipped.
Now we have these little gizmos that seemingly suck music out of the computer, and the capacity...I don't think I know 2000 songs or whatever these things are capable of. Then the fun part, composing a bunch of tunes to get ya going. I'm going to be listen specifically when exercising so I picked energizing...
Baby I Need Your Lovin-The Four Tops
Lady Love and Althea-Robin Trower
Hit the Road Jack-Ray Charles
Stray Cat Strut-The Stray Cats
Gimme Shelter, Tumbling Dice, Happy-The Rolling Stones
Jump, Jive and Wail-Brian Setzer
Birdland-Weather Report
Leavin' Texas, Sea Cruise, One Too Many Mornings-Jerry Jeff Walker
Miss Jackson-OutKast

It might be a strange mix, but I never listen to everything one artist does, neither can I pick a favourite genre...

Very cool PCL, several titles I would pick as well...diverse makes life interesting

All About Us by He is We feat. Owlcity
Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin
Hold You in my Arms by Ray LaMontagne
How to Love by Lil Wayne
I Fell in Love Once by Chase Coy
Up by James Morrison feat. Jessie J
Get to You by James Morrison
Stay the Night by Zedd feat. Hayley Williams

I have a lot of music on my Ipod, phone and computer. Here are just some of them I love turning up loud and singing:

Across The Universe - The Beatles (I could listen to song by anyone who sings it)
Vienna - The Frey
Should Be Loved - Blue October
Chasing Pavements - Adele
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Push - Matchbox 20
The One That Got Away - The Civil Wars
Say It - Blue October
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Harder To Breath - Maroon 5

There was a time when I used to listen to prearranged playlist. Now in the age of the 'cloud' I use pandora and their radio stations. Depending on how I'm feeling or what type of genre I'm either listening to or writing to I go from Thievery Corporation, St. Germain to Daft Punk and Black Sheep radio.

"Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles
"Impossible Germany' - Wilco
"Fortunate Son" - CCR
"Stacy's Mom" - Fountains of Wayne
"Stairway to Heaven" - Led Zeppelin
"Pompeii" - Bastille
"Like A Rolling Stone" - Bob Dylan
"Ice Ice Baby" - Vanilla Ice
"All Star" - Smash Mouth
"The House of the Rising Sun" - The Animals

Hope you all enjoy!

Funny, they played "Stairway to Heaven" as we were leaving a party last week. All us geezers were practically floating down the steps to it...one of those tunes that's timeless...kind of what "Bye Bye Bye" does to a later generation, not in the same league of course

I love to listen to music while I write or read.

I love Coldplay, One Republic, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls, P!nk, and Imagine Dragons... I can't name all of the songs I like because there are just too many!

A little bit of everything. I love Bruno Mars, Taio Cruz, Savage Garden, Katy Perry (especially her Roar song), and anything country.

Litterally everything, from pop to rock punk to classic music

A whole bunch... From one republic.. Child play. Adele.. Pentonix..don't MacLean.. Maroon 5..j-lo..
Bollywood music.. Kids music.. Ol joins of music

For exercising/motivation I just stick with the songs I like the most to begin with...they may not match the 'pace' of everyone's workout (or even my own sometimes) but enjoying them is the key thing for me.

"Headstrong" - Earshot
"Re-education" - Rise Against
"Best of You" - Foo Fighters
"From Yesterday" - 30 Seconds to Mars
"By the Way" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Motorcycle Drive By" - Third Eye Blind
"End of Me" - Apocalyptica ft. Gavin Rossdale
"Maybe" - Sick Puppies
"Over and Under" - Egypt Central
"The Noose" - A Perfect Circle
"You're Gonna Go Far Kid" - Offspring
"Another Way to Die" - Disturbed
"Sorrow" - Bad Religion
"Voodoo" - Godsmack
"Fine Again" - Seether


To name a few , in no particular order.

I have almost four thousand classical and opera selections and some Loreena McKennit, Nickel Creek, Bobby Vee, Enya, Laura Brannigan, and Celine Dion on my iPod. Oh, there's also the two disc soundtrack of the movie,The Phantom of the Opera, the soundtrack of August Rush, a compilation of pieces from the Legend of Zelda games for symphony and chorus, the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, and the complete music of Anne Hathaway's and Hugh Jackman's Les Miserables. I... really like music...

I was born in the nineties, so I remember having to fight with CD players (I always won one way or the other... he, he) and I remember hiss. Now I don't have to worry about any of that. It's WONDERFUL!

Oh, that's Danny Elfman's Alice in Wonderland... just so we're clear on that. I think the boldness and eccentricity of his style are attributes of a unique musical brilliance. He's one of the great film composers.
