I too have a Christmas album by Michael McDonald….. I think it was from a Hallmark card store a couple of years ago… really enjoy it! This is a nice list of songs you have and I am bookmarking it to come back another time and finish reading and listening.. Thanks for taking all the time it took you to post this list.

Also, I found this link to the “Bad is Bad” video (I had to find it because you reminded me how much I love it and used to listen to it over and over!):

Ok, now I know we were meant to cross paths! Sting/The Police AND “Hey Julia”?! Get outta town! You’re the only other person I know who knows the song “Hey Julia.”

This looks like so much fun that I’m going to start my own list tomorrow!

I love the song Video by India Arie – have done for years. But thanks so much for the link – I never saw the video until now.

One of my favourite songs of all time is “California Soul” by Marlena Shaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk30mvVz3Y

There is no video but you can hear the song.

I love your blog!

I don’t think I’m old enough yet to have a hundred favourites of anything except maybe people. Even starting to make lists like that makes me nervous about all of the music or books or foods or movies that I’ve yet to discover!

I, too, love story songs. I can’t wait to listen to the cover of that Ani D. song (would you could you be bribed into uploading it somewhere — http://www.mediafire.com, maybe — to share with me? can’t afford the itunes store right now). Tracy Chapman’s ‘Fast Car’ and Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘America’ would probably be on my list just for the story (and the melancholy chords, which I also loooove).

Also, hey, I just heard Ain’t No Sunshine on the radio! It made me really happy — I had to sit in my car in front of my house and listen to it to the end.

I’m pretty sure that Jonatha Brooke, at one point, sang the Goodyear jingle, too. I have no problem with commercial crossovers; I find a lot of great artists that way.

I’m going to go look up “Ordinary Miracles” now… Keep that new music coming!

Speaking of Sara McLachlan and commercial songs (Da Da) (and my reference in my list to Richard Buckner’s “Ariel Ramirez”–also a VW commercial). I have been seeing the CVS commercials and the really lovely song in them.
I found out it is “Ordinary Miracles” sung by, I think, Kathy Fisher (not available yet). Then I discovered, via iTunes, that it is performed also by Sara McLachlan, and was in the movie “Charlote’s Web.”

Oh crap. Now I desperately want to make my own list. Christmas vacation maybe…
Some comments:
Even my husband knows about the genius of Freddie Mercury. I love that story.
Very interested in your choice of Matchbox 20 songs. They will make my list often but with different songs.
Love August & Everything After. In my top 10 album list. That doesn’t exist.
Overkill. Yes. Carolina on my Mind. Yes. Freedom. Hmmm. Do (quietly in my closet) love me some Wham. Time. Yes, yes, yes! Oh and thank you for introducing me to Queen and the Soldier during the time of Freddie Mercury. Although it does prompt husband to quote Princess Bride: “Jesus, Grandpa, what the hell are you reading me this thing for?”
