Happy Birthday, Mike! Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Today I’ve decided to treat my enormous fan base (ha!) to a list of my Top 25 Most Played songs in my MP3 library. Clicking on any one of them will link you to that song in iTunes to listen to a sample. If you don’t have iTunes, I’m sorry. You should get it now. These are not necessarily in any particular order.

• Oliver’s Army, Elvis Costello
• Alone Again Or, The Damned (also one of Doc’s favorites)
• Uninvited, Alanis Morrissette
• Snow Cherries from France, Tori Amos (like a fabulous sea chanty!)
• You, aTom (an independent artist, similar at times to Pink Floyd)
• Pills & Soap, Elvis Costello
• The Life of Riley, The Lightning Seeds (it’s poetry)
• The Letter, Payne’s Grey (a very sad song by my favorite band)
• Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd
• Behind Blue Eyes, The Who
• You’re So Vain, Carly Simon
• Leave, Radiohead (with Michael Stipe; I like this more than the REM version)
• Take On Me, a-ha (one of the best videos, ever)
• Rain in the Summertime, The Alarm
• Strange, Peter Murphy
• God is a Spider, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
• Life on Mars, David Bowie (my current favorite song)
• Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie
• Yeah Whatever, Splender
• From the Air, Laurie Anderson (Here come the planes… narf! That’s from O Superman)
• Satellite, Aimee Mann
• Would, Alice in Chains
• Pictures of Matchstick Men, Camper van Beethoven
• Soul Love, David Bowie (you oughta hear Doc singing this! Whoa!!!)
• The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging, Genesis (just an extraordinary song. The "Funk" alert sound in Mac OS is very similar to a sound in this song)
