Blogfest! My Top Ten Songs...

Happy Monday, all!  This is a special extra post for me as I'm participating in Alex Cavanaugh's TOP TEN Count down - Music Blogfest!  Please make sure you visit the other participants here.  And "THANKS" to Alex for organizing this!!  It gives me the opportunity to remember/rediscover a thousand new songs that have inspired writers all over this wonderful blogging community!

Now - my taste in music tends to change.  I don't know that I necessarily have just one favorite song.  Or even only ten.  But, as I look at this from my writer's perspective, considering scenes and different emotions and actions and anything/everything I'd love to put in my writing - here's a list of songs that help me get in a mood...

10 - For driving fast.... AC/DC's Thunderstruck
9 - A good you-been-dissed song... Pink's You and Your Hand
8 - For the contemplative drive up a canyon or somewhere, alone....Tori Amos' A Sorta Fairytale
7 - A good song to dance to at a wedding...Bryan Adam's Heaven
6 - Unrequited love, anyone?....The Veronica's Untouched
5 - Steamy kind of behind-the-doors lovin'...Sade's No Ordinary Love
4 - And one more...the romantical type (or possibly torrid)...Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
3- For the on-the-prowl gal, shooting pool at the college pool house and trollin' for guys with her besties, this is what she play's on the juke box...The Divinyl's I Touch Myself   (*yeah...sorry...stuck in a theme here and rolled with it...)
2 - Another "love" one (or more a don't-want-to-be-in-love-any-more one)...ack!  But, I love it....Sara Bareilles' Gravity
1 - A break and a great lamenting-a-lost-loved-one song (and one of my favorite artists)...Sarah Mclachlan's Wintersong

Ahhhh!  That was SOOO hard!  All songs I love - but shame on me that I didn't include any Depeche Mode!!


Or some Kesha or Katy Perry so I don't seem so OLD! Or that Usher song I love, so I might've come off a little hip, maybe?  I even thought about throwing a little classical in there so you'd suspect I was cultured and smart... :)  Just NO country music.

Anyhow - that's just a small sampling of songs that inspire me when I write.  Good picks?  Bad picks?  Suggestions?  Now, I'm off to visit more blogfesters.  You should, too!  Thanks for stopping by ~  OH!  And don't forget to get in on my 100 follower's celebration HERE!
