Certainly SOMEONE has a daily top 5?

Ok.....I will settle for 3 (LOL)!

Hmmm... I am so moody Gitbean that it varies but here are some of my favorites for getting the house clean...

Lyle Lovett-  Cowboy Man, Stand by Your Man

Annie Lennox-Take Me to the River

Delbert McClinton- all songs, any album

Marcia Ball- Such A Good Man, whole Dreams Come True Album really

Of course I end up listening to a lot of Veggie Tales & Raffi at my house too since I am no longer the stereo queen in  my palace but this is my line up to get me through floors & windows.

1. MGMT - Electric Feel
2. Kid Cudi - Day n Nite
3. Spoon - Everything Hits at Once
4. Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
5. Adele - Cold Shoulder

Hmmm so many to choose from! I'll pick 5 at random, but that is subject to change without notice at any time.

• Can't You Hear Me Knocking? - Stones
• Day Job - Pat Coast & Out of the Blue
• Butterfly Effect - Cherri & the Violators
• Kit Kat Klock - The Bottlerockets
• When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

Wow.  I must be really old - I've never heard of ANY of these!  LOL

My list is way random-er and it is a bit eclectic:

"Just the Way You Are" - Billy Joel

The Cowboys Overture - John Williams

"Take Me Home (Country Roads" - John Denver

First Movement, Symphony No. 5 in C, Opus 67 - L. v Beethoven

Main Title, Star Wars - John Williams

I listen to a lot of stuff, but today I sought out the following songs on YouTube:

Elvis Costello, "She" (that's the song from the movie "Notting Hill")

Corrs, "Breathless"

Rob Thomas/Santana, "Smooth"

Eagles, "Already Gone"

Expose, "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me"

Tomorrow it will be something else, I'm sure.

Well Git  - you always give me good info, so I'll try to capture a day (which may be a whole new day tomorrrow):

Top 5 Songs (for today anyway):

1. Dance Upon this Earth by the Burns Sisters - Has anyone else in the world heard this song besides me? OK. Well, I'm gonna . . . "find the joy in all this madness."

2. Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC - I don't care if it's old, it's hot, hot, hot. You know it is. American thighs are a good thing.  

3. I'll Fly Away (gospel) esp in bluegrass - It does help that I can actually carry the tune to this song - even the alto.

4. Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf - It's a story song, but I sure did love dancing on the coffee table to this one back in the day.

5. Chevy Van - I like the Sammy Johns version but the Bread version is cool too.

1. Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
2. Vehicle - The Ides of March
3. The Motown Song - Rod Stewart
4. One Fine Morning - Lighthouse
5. Take Five - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

That's the top 5 for today.  As CyndiA pointed out...it may change tomorrow.  Always toss in some Beatles somewhere in the top 10...and Clapton too.
