Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Wanna hear something sad? I would totally listen to every song on the 1990 countdown that I know, with the possible exceptions of the Michael Bolton and maybe the Phil Collins.
I am such a pop loser.
stands in pop enthusiast (don't put yourself down, LJ) party corner with LJ. IOW, where the fun is.
13. Ironic, Alanis Morissette
Ahhhhhhh! t runs from room
Right behind Jon.
Thanks, msbelle.
Stupid music, especially stupid music that makies me remember middle school in a vague, pleasant, nostalgia-drenched way, is too much fun to be snobbish about. (I do have a much higher threshold for "would buy" than for "would listen to" -- I think Oasis and Smashing Pumpkins are the only bands on that list I've ever paid money for an album by.)
13. Ironic, Alanis Morissette
Ahhhhhhh!
See, I loathed Alanis when I was 17. Now I kind of respect her for doing her own thing, even if I wouldn't call the thing that is her own actually *good,* and that makes me tolerant of her music.
I'd listen to about half of those, but even if not, I can't judge. I listed "I Touch Myself", you know? I have no cred. Except that it's not "My Ding-a-Ling" And I'm totally living in the wrong era, anyway. Still like "Ironic", too.
God, 'ruined, quiet dignity' is a stunning description of Bubs.
This just needed to be said twice.
Misha, that dress is gorgeous!
I was going to do the high school songs thing, but I realized I would listen to about half of them in the same way I would watch a car wreck, so it didn't seem a true test.
It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Celine Dion (The ONE Celine song I can stand, seriously. It's just sexy somehow.)
I rather like this one, too. Produced by Jim Steinman, so the bombast of the vocals and the bombast of the instrumentals balance each other out.
But I also think Dion made a mistake in giving up the up-tempo songs.
