Jack, I like music but I can't sing a note. I'll be bringing my IPod and portable speaker with me if Sonny needs some help with tunes.

Inchoation, you seemed to be pretty busy tonight with your music suggestions. I like the Van Halen song, good song for a road trip.

How about:

I can't Get no Satisfaction (Stones)

Someone said "I can See Clearly Now (Nash)" but if you can't, then:

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (Platters)

Great topic ... i've been putting together a playlist as well for drives in my car. Here's mine:

#1: I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Warren Zevon Stand in the Fire Note: Warren passed away from lung cancer a few years ago. His last appearance on Letterman is a classic. Example: “You put more value on every minute...You know I always kinda thought I did that. I really always enjoyed myself. But it’s more valuable now. You’re reminded to enjoy every sandwich and every minute.”

Runners up:

* With a Little Help from my Friends, Joe Cocker
* Takin' it as it Comes, Jerry Jeff Walker
* Feeling Good Again, Robert Earl Keen

Honorable Mention:
* Amazing Grace, Neville Bros
* Pick Yourself Up, Diana Krall
* Forever, For Always, For Certain, Guy clark
* Eye of the Tiger, (Rocky theme song)

Also:
I Don't Need No Doctor, Ray Charles

Great idea for a thread. Thank you! I love the selections already posted. I am totally into connections with music. Wish I could join you at GFMPH. I hope to catch another one in the future.
I have several playlists that I use for different purposes. Here are some of the songs that have gotten me through the last year. They are selected for either their titles, the lyrics or just because they're great to listen to. Hope you like them:

More - Tyrone Wells (I've got an acoustic version that is awesome - "I'm alive, I don't wanna die))
Hold On - Alabama Shakes
The Night The Pie Factory Burned Down - Johnny Sansone (title speaks for itself)
After The Thrill Is Gone - Eagles
Slow Dancing In A Burning Room - John Mayer
Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Bob Dylan (also like the acoustics version of this by Ted Lennon & Brett Dennen)
Endless Parade - Gov't Mule (great line in this song- "the circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed......it's like an endless parade)
Forever Young - Bob Dylan
Free/into the Mystic - Zach Brown Band
I'm Tore Down - Eric Clapton
Just Breathe - Pearl Jam
The Needle and The Damage Done - Neil Young
Sideways - Citizen Cope
Superman (It's Not Easy) -Five For Fighting
These Hard Times - Matchbox Twenty

Couldn't stop myself but had to limit the list. Music helps me get through every day, PCa or not...
Thanks again for posting!

Steelguy I was just at the library today looking for the Warren Zevon song "I'll sleep when I'm Dead". The only CD they had didn't have that song on it. I guess I'll have to pay ITunes to download it.

Gunner, I have "the needle and the damage done" by Neil Young on my alcohol and drug recovery playlist. I am a recovering alcoholic and that playlist is pretty long, lots of drinking songs and Stevie Ray Vaughn songs.
That would be another thread. yeah
Great list you have!

I actually think I may have a bit of Autism, cause I have the same 6 CD's in my surf car and I never, never ever get tired of them. As I ride down S Kihei road, with my music,{5 of my list above are from tracks on the 6cd's},... I see young, old, fat, skinny, gorgeous, not so much,just every da kine kine you can imagine, i get in their being, cry with joy, no shoot, its amazing, then I mix the salt with the salt and and have a grand time as I tear up the the surf.What a life…. Before I get criticized for comparing myself with the autistic, I actually think Imay be. Just so you know Autism can be mild or disastrously debilitating. It was a few years back when an autistic woman won a nobel prize, I think for literature, maybe not that category but for sure a nobel prize. I got a booby prize once when younger…no not that kine, nasty one… Oh and no I'm not bi-polar…multi-polar maybe, uummm! Great feeling and thought ,Big Mac. Baker Street, which is in SFO 2 blocks from where I used to live, basically predicted my life from Sfo to Da islands, whoo doggie…. Ok I'll stop!!!

I was looking at my playlist and found a great George Strait song called "I'll be there". It brought tears to my eyes when King George sings about seeing his love ones on the "Other Side".

Other great GS songs: How about those Cowgirls, She'll leave you with a Smile,
Run, Write this down, We really shouldn't be doing this.

One last recommendation: Tom Petty's song "I won't back down"

Logo,
My name isn't because I like "Big Macs". Mac has been my nickname for quite sometime. I was always very thin but now I weight almost 200 lbs. and it hasn't been from eating Big Macs. I don't eat much red meat anymore.

Great suggestions everyone. It is amazing what songs effected us so much. I had run out of songs to add to my playlist until now! This will cost me a fortune on ITunes to add all these suggestions.

Peter, you have some good ones on your list. Sounds like you like all kinds of music.

I got a private email from one of our old friends here with his suggestion to add to the list. He doesn't post anymore but just lurks. It was good to hear from him. I hadn't seen him here in months and was concerned about him. He used to post all the time. I guess he is just moving on with his life in his own way.

My Ding a Ling! Love it, have to find it!

I was struck by the ZZ Top song, "Woke up with Wood". Wishful thinking on my part, I guess.

This is becoming more fun than HW last May 2013. Thanks to all for participating and having fun with it.
