So, I know that there are some of you who think I never update my blog. And you're very nearly right. The other day I was thinking about how much music has played a part in my life, and I spied on Nicole preparing her "Alphabet of Favorites". I was told not to do an alphabet game before she did hers, so now here goes my alphabet of favorite songs:
A = All Along the Watchtower, by Jimi Hendrix
B = Blaze of Glory, by Bon Jovi && Bringin' On the Heartbreak, by Def Leppard
C = Can't Stop Loving You, by Van Halen
D = D'Yer Mak'er, by Led Zeppelin
E = Every Breath You Take, by The Police
F = Free Bird, by Lynrd Skynrd
G = Gel, by Collective Soul && Gone Shootin', by AC-DC
H = HeartBreaker, by Pat Benatar
I = It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, by The Rolling Stones
J = Janie's Got a Gun, by Aerosmith
K = Kickstart My Heart, by Motley Crue, && Knockin' On Heaven's Door, by Guns 'n' Roses
L = Layla, by Eric Clapton (at the time he was part of Derek and the Dominoes)
M = Mary Jane's Last Dance, by Tom Petty && Moby Dick, by Led Zeppelin
N = Nighttrain, by Guns 'n' Roses
O = Over the Hills and Far Away, by Led Zeppelin && Octopus's Garden, by The Beatles
P = Planet of Women, by ZZ Top && Paperback Writer, by The Beatles
Q = Killer Queen, by Queen -- gimme a break, Q? It's a miracle there's a decent song with a word that starts with Q in the title.
R = Ramble On, by Led Zeppelin
S = Sweet Child o' Mine, by Guns 'n' Roses & Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin
T = Texas Flood, by Stevie Ray Vaughan
U = Unchained Melody, by The Righteous Bros
V = Voodoo Child (Slight Return), by Jimi Hendrix
W = When the Children Cry, by White Lion && While My Guitar Gently Weeps, by The Beatles
X = Extreme Ways, by Moby -- again, gimme a break, eh?
Y = You Give Love A Bad Name, by Bon Jovi
Z = Zombie, by The Cranberries. -- Yes I know, but I like the song, what can I say?

okay i just checked and i'm totally covered (except for x, of course, but luckly i, too, like "extreme ways" from bourne) so i think i'll play too one of these fine days.
incidentally, i SO do not approve of you liking the stalker song. not one bit. and it's too bad "sweet home alabama" didn't make the cut--i guess there are just too many good "s" songs.
@Nicole: Yeah, when your 2 favorite songs in the world start with S, there's not much room for others.
You may find it as hard to believe as I do, but I actually like a few of these songs too.
while my guitar gently weeps and layla kick serious but. yes, i am a big eric clapton fan.
