There must have been a period of four or five years where I was unable to do anything but listen to the music on the crappy popular music stations around here (North Bay Area). Either that or listen to songs I already had on my Ipod from years past. A very limited musical existence, to be sure. Recently, though, I've discovered a wealth of music mainly through two sources, Pandora and Itunes. I thought I'd share some of it with you, with links so you can try these songs out for yourself.. These are my favorites that I've found recently, even if the song isn't very new.

There is not one song on that list that I believe I have ever heard.
I'm so freakin' old.
One of the reasons I posted this is that I would never have found these songs without seeking them out myself. But there is a wealth of music out there once you start looking. Pandora and Itunes make this easier by suggesting songs to you based on songs you already like.
Very cool. Thanks for bringing light to this music!!

Umm...I'm with JO.
I am not familiar with ANY of these!
I am, however, copying the list to check them out.
When you hear an old favorite, are you instantly transported to a moment from long ago?
Lee, give a listen. You'll at least know if you like the same kind of music I do.
Elizabeth - I have that experience with many songs, but not all. It all depends on whether I have a connected memory.
wow whata cool idea to link them all; listened to Xx and loved the melody but the images made me sad..tear up i did. It made me thankful i don't live in the city.
