I'm going to have to try this thanks!

I love Etta James and I do have some Aretha on my Sansa but I use it mainly to workout at the gym and alas, it's mainly headbangin' metal, hip hop and progressive rock...moving iron and Etta blues...not a good match...great tune selections on your player...

My music gives out way too many of my secrets. As I write this, Tull's "Bungle in the Jungle" is playing. ~R~

I don't have any of these electronic devices! What does that say about me?

My music says that I'm OLD...I haven't liked anything that popular music has given the USA since Nirvana's Never Mind, and the only music I buy these days are from European bands like Placebo (from whom I stole my name)

Ahhh, I have no device!
Any chance you have too much time on your hands dear?

:)

Very funny! I don't have on of those music thingies. Will it work with a Victrola?

What is my life story? Is there a song called "Boring"?
Fascinating piece. R

Fun, but could be scary! Love the graphic!!

What an interesting exercise and I enjoyed reading your random list.

I just gave it a go and honest to God 'Another One Bites the Dust' came up as my funeral song.

With niether iPod nor Zune (nor other collection device), my music exists everywhere. The lack of device shows that I'm either poor or cheap (probably both . . . but only in the financial sense of those words :~).

tai, let me know when you do!

Leonde, I have tons of hip hop and rock on my iPod, none of it showed up for whatever reason. I also have lots of jazz and show tunes! LOL

Chuck, I know you have iTunes... let's see what it says about you!

Jeanette, I need my daily music fix!

Placebostudman, OLD??? And Etta James doesn't say old? LOL

trig, look for e-mail later....

Michael Rodgers, You could always just scan your tunes the old fashioned way. Close your eyes and use your finger?

John, You're anything but boring!

Tiger Sonora, I thought SCARY too!!

Linda Cooper, Too Perfect!!!

Owl, maybe you can turn this into a listening exercise. Gosh, if we could all learn to listen better, we might learn even more!

LOL I know a lot of people my age who listen to Etta James and that genre of music. I don't consider that old, I consider that having refined taste, which comes with experience, not age

LOL Good answer Placebo!! Refined and young! YES! That's me!

WOW! I had to work at this! (but it was FUN! Thanks! ;) )

I am so doing this. But telling about it... hmm, not so much. Yours is great!

What Sally said! LOVE the post. You and I are on the same page today. . . .

I tried this and the very first answer (to the question, "Is this ok?" you say) I got was ""They're Coming to Take Me Away". So I gave up.

O'Really, that's exactly why I would never keep songs like that on my iPod!!! Bad Karma!!

Very cool concept. Music tells much about taste and, yes, the whole person. This a great read; I like the joke too.

Rated.

I can't get this stupid thing to play, let alone 'shuffle' or whatever.

Oh, where the hell is my record player. I'll just randomly sort my records with my eyes closed and do the same thing by jumping up and down. When the needle lands on a song I recognize, I'll write it down.
This may take a while.

yr taste is a lot like my dead wife. she was also from ill. she had two bands at the end--jazz and bossa nova. i mostly listen to van (morrison) these days and the odd new age or latino music with my fuck buddy. (you can write it out after the post is more than two days old. nobody will notice except if they are from kansas.) i especially like to listen to will ackerman when i take mood altering substances.
