BeebopandBuddy · December 2013

Since my stupid self drove to work this morning in the snow and now I am stuck here for the forseeable future, someone play with me. My ex and I used to play this game. Let's start with an easy one:

Top 5 songs of all time

jocymama · December 2013

I can't believe I left out James Taylor, You've Got a Friend is definitely a favorite. Apparently I suck at limiting it to 5 songs

ellebee2 · December 2013

Ooh this is really hard.

In random order:

Big Me - Foo Fighters
Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips
Blown Wide Open - Big Wreck
Big Empty - Stone Temple Pilots
Black - Pearl Jam

(weird - almost all of them start with

eshee8198 · December 2013

My personal top 5 would be a different list, but most of the songs I like are pretty obscure, so I don't think they count as top 5 ever. My top 5 EVER are the ones that I think will stand the test of time, and can unite a room of drunk people in mutual comradarie/make you love the person you're dancing with.

Hotel California - The Eagles
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Deacon Blues - Steely Dan
Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
Naive Melody - Talking Heads

Runnesr Up would be One - U2 (my go to karaoke song) or Tweeter and the Monkeyman by the Traveling Wilburys.

plus12012 · December 2013

Crash- Dave Matthew's Band

What a Wonderful World- Louis Armstrong

I Will Always Love You- Whitney Houston

Every Breath You Take- The Police

Seasons of Love- Rent

ugggh so jelly! I saw BR live in a very intimate setting and it was hands down the best show I've seen. Better than John Mayer - and that's saying something!
