Please note:
This blog is dragging itself out of the dark abyss of pish and crawling insanely up to the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash.

Swiped from George, because, hey, if you can't steal from your friends, who can you steal from?
Put your iPod (or music player of choice - I did mine thru iTunes) on shuffle and list the first 20 songs that come up.
1. Stay (Far Away, So Close) - U2 (I'd forgotten about this song. Lovely lyrics - Red light, grey morning, you stumble out of a hole in the ground)
2. Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen (Bruuuuuuuuuuuce!)
3. R.E.M. - Losing My Religion (lost it a long time ago....)
4. Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse
5. That's Just The Way We Roll - Jonas Brothers (good god, this band is the bane of my existence)
6. Stir It Up - Bob Marley
7. Rock Star Poser - N.E.R.D. (I have no clue how this wound up in my iTunes library)
8. Boys From The County Hell - The Pogues (I love this band. Love. Them.)
9. One Piece At A Time - Johnny Cash (Ironic, considering the state of the auto industry today)
10. Bent - Matchbox 20 (This could be my theme song. Also, Rob Thomas. *drool*)
11. Right As Rain - Adele (Fantastic album of torch songs.)
12. Uncle John's Band - Jimmy Buffett (Love this song. Haaaaate this cover of it.)
13. Man In A Suitcase - The Police
14. Aeroplane - Red Hot Chili Peppers
15. Space Intro - Steve Miller Band
16. De ja Vu - Crosby, Still, Nash & Young
17. Hey Tonight - Creedence Clearwater Revival (Jeez, after these last three, I feel like we should all be sitting around getting baked, eating brownies and pop rocks. What? Isn't that what college was for? No?)
18. It's A Shame About Ray - The Lemonheads
19. Street Fighting Man - Rage Against The Machine
20. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (Great. So I can cry at the end of this meme.)

Oh, I'm totally doing this one! My list will surely have several children's songs on it, but thankfully no JoBros!

I love your list. I have one N.E.R.D. song on my ipod and it's "She wants to move" and frankly, it is a jammy jam. I must say.
(That was me channeling Ed Grimley apparently)
Word Verification - Zingr. (awesome)

Won't leave you the whole list, but you will be glad to know that # 2 for me was Bruce As Well. It was Glory Days.

If only I had an iPod -- or any mp3 player. All mine have been stolen/lost/thrown in the washer.

Love you!!!!! At least I recognize most of the artists here. Sure felt like a crabby old dinosaur reading some of the younger kid's lists and not knowing a single one...........
