What's on Your Birth Playlist?

I know a few women said they played music during birth, what was on your playlist?

If you haven't had one before, what would you put on yours?

    I made one last time around and never ended up using it.  I don't even remember what was on it.  I would like to make another one this time and be better about actually putting it on

    I haven't ever made one, but I like the thought of having one. We are big music lovers and music calms me. 

    I think on my playlist I'll include:
    Norah Jones
    Corrine Bailey Rae
    Christina Perri
    Florence + the Machine
    John Legend
    Michael Buble
    Bruno Mars 
    Adele
    Gavin DeGraw
    DMB

    Or if I need energy and songs to hype me up:
    Usher
    Outkast
    Missy Elliot
    80's hair bands
    Thunderstruck (Husker's entrance music)

    I didn't have a playlist, but in hindsight, a combo of spa-meditation like music would have been great in early labor and any sort of loud, rage-like music would have been really helpful to drown out the annoying comments my mom and sister were making and distract me from the pain and doubt of active labor.

    @Stankonia2014  I like your first list enough to steal it.  I'm thinking the only person I would add is Jane Monheit. 

    As far as energizing music goes, I think I'd probably just grab my running playlist which is full of what I would consider "guilty pleasure" music that would make my husband's skin crawl.  Mostly just high energy modern pop type stuff.  I'd be tempted to pull up my ultimate running  "I can't do it anymore" song, "Enter Sandman".  I'm not a Metallica fan by a long shot, but that's what the Hokies run into the stadium to and it pumps me up pretty much no matter what.

    @Xath our birthing OR allowed us to bring in a mini speaker and play our delivery playlist! It's worth asking! We just kept the speaker with us behind the drape. Here's a snapshot of mine...

    So this got brought up on my first BMB... and my husband always thinks this topic is hilarious... If it gets brought up by a friend/family member IRL he just starts singing "AHH sskk sskk PUSH IT!"

    I let my husband be in charge of the radio while I'm in labor - last time he put the Coldplay station on Pandora and I really enjoyed it.

    When my sister gave birth last year, she really liked listening to Enya while in labor.
