Music selections - Get some culture

I have an odd taste in music some might say. I pretty much like anything and everything. I think there really isn't a type of music I couldn't find something I couldn't like. In country for instance there are those songs about killing yourself because the neighbors daughter spilled coffee on herself, so you feel bad for her and want to end your own life.... but then, there are really are quality songs out there. I've been very fortunate in my life to experience a very wide music array. The majority of it came from school and learning. Some just stumbling onto a song somewhere like Borders that sounded cool. And the rest through life experiences with friends and family.

Music means the world to me. This may sound strange but I can do a complete 180 with the right song (maybe that's the Gemini in me). I can get from sad to happy... angry to happy... happy to upset.. sad to mad... etc. just by what song I'm listening to. In literally a few moments I can change my attitude on life, with just the right song playing. I really feel almost psycho from this. I mean, if the right person around me wants to change how I feel, all they really have to know is to start playing a song that would help me feel different.

Anyways, before I sound like I need to be locked up I most also say that maybe music is a more powerful thing for me then for some people. Maybe I'm very passionate about it, while others probably wouldn't give a f*uck.

So in any event I bring to you tonight some music selections that sound good to me.. would probably change how I feel at the moment. Maybe you all well think it's crap... but I'm writing this down to share and maybe someone out there will actually like a song or 2 they may have never even heard of before. And surprise surprise... no Alanis or LeAnne on this list, although they may be on another later ;)

I will do more of these lists very soon for those that might enjoy something new and to get ideas. I will warn you though, as stated you are going to find anything and everything on these lists... pop, country, rock, rap, dance, techno, trance, remixes, classical, opera, 80's... you get the idea.
