I had so much fun with your August Challenge, Jenn! This is going to be hard for me too, because there are SO many songs that I love.

 

[faerywings]

It's been a really long time since I have been on a road trip but I have a couple of songs/albums from way back when.
Driving back and forth from college I listened to Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi) and And Justice for All (Metallica) non-stop. A decade or so later, the kids and I would blast American Idiot (Green Day) and The Sickness (Disturbed). Which song and how to scrap them??
*ponders*

Oooo...those are ALL good ones!!! The American Idiot is another CD that I would play a lot on my trips to Texas!! SO good

 

[Amandajk]

Ahhhh- I've got the one! We have a road trip playlist. I typically am not a country music fan, but this guy's work I like-well most of it,
Wait for it...

Can't wait!!! I am not a big fan of country either...I do like Garth Brooks from the early 90's, but I rarely listen to it. I do like the song "Beer Never Broke My Heart" though!!

That is an AWESOME video!!!! I had never heard that one!!! TFS

My DD's and GK's are die hard country fans and they introduced me to this one. The other one that my GS introduced me to before it hit the charts was Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony - it's gone viral since he played it for me. These kids know what's going on.

I will have to look that one up!!! I must say, I am surrounded in this tiny town of 700-something people, with major country music lovers...that is the main thing I hear blaring from cars and motorcycles as they drive around town...I AM getting more to where I enjoy several songs that they play...I just don't go and listen to country on my own as a genre...I am more alternative rock or 90's rock

That's all we hear here, too, in Oklahoma. That's all my GK's listen to. Braden knew about that Rich Men North of Richmond before it ever went viral. He told me that the guy was unknown until he recorded that song. That one and Try That in a Small Town have gone crazy viral. I have to tell you that I love the "old country" - Willie, Waylan, Hank Williams Jr, Johnny Cash - they're all gone now except Willie. I tease the kids about liking the "real" country music. Oh geeze, my list of music just gets longer and longer. I won't even go into Motown, R & B and Andrea Bocelli. I have a very diverse playlist. I MAY need to make 20 pages,

I am a diehard classic rock gal, but Willie Nelson has always been one of my favorites and this song especially.

I grew up in Texas hearing this song A LOT (and he is from my home state )...LOVE it and it IS perfect for a road trip, for sure!!! Willie is an awesome person...I am SO happy that he is still alive!!! I just checked and he is 90 now!! I hope he and his braids keep on rockin' this world

I grew up listening to a lot of country because of my Nana, and other family peeps...I always preferred when Nana would play the Everly Brothers (I love the 40's, 50's, 60's music), but I do love some of the older country songs from my childhood...The Devil Went Down to Georgia for instance! OH MY....I almost forgot that I was actually in love with the song Elvira from the Oakridge Boys!!!! I have a vivid memory...I can still see it in my mind...riding on a school bus in 3rd or 4th grade, in Texas, the bus driver playing that song on the radio, and all of us kids singing and bopping along in our seats with NO seat belts, of course..LOL...it was the BEST time I ever had on a school bus

I LOVE Bob Marley as well as about a hundred others, but I'm featuring him. I may have to do more than one "Songs I Love" and I picked Three Little Birds, but I love all of his songs.

Thanks so much, Jenn. I LOVE your challenges - it gives me a chance to honor my song loves.

 

[Su_Sanne]

Finally I've found this wonderful challenges! Your comments are so interesting - shows a lot of your personality and your preferences. Love it!! It takes me closer to you.
Maybe I should translate the song, American Idiot, since you like it so much? I'm just afraid the translation doesn't reveal any irony. Humor, criticism, irony or ridicule often depends on where you live.
I have been very comfortable with the English language since my school days and I have never stopped translating song lyrics. Although... sometimes I just love the artist... I collect news, I even used to write to publishers to send me information about Prince. Since Google and co. were not yet invented.
Yep, it's out now. In the 80's there wasn't anything in the music market that I liked other than the ever-recurring Bee Gees. Except Mikel and Prince Rogers Nelson. As long as there are ladies here who love Metallica @faerywings , I stand by my genius Prince.
By the way, he taught himself to play many instruments. An artist from a poor background who could play the piano or electric guitar like that could only be a genius! Who cares about the lyrics when you watch him on stage??? I have all of his albums and believe me, there are lyrics that you would like too. So much poetry, so much love and warmth.
But let me start with something completely different. On the way to vacation I like to listen to a collection of favorite songs from Mike and the Mechanics or Nickelback, for example.
Have you ever heard "Far away" or "The living Years"?
What about ZZ TOP or ACDC? Jethro Tull "Locomotive Breath"?
They all blow up my mind!!!!

You have to stop me right now!!!

H.E.L.P I need somebody, help, just not anybody, help ....
Uhh, so much to read for you - sorry for that

YAY!!! So happy you found this challenge, Susanne!!!! Man, it was a very sad day when Prince passed away I totally agree that he was an amazing artist!! A few of my favorites from him are of course, Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette, Raspberry Beret, and 7...I especially love the music in 7, and the music video!! That came out in 1992, the year before I graduated from high school...it brings back a lot of memories And YES, I have listed to a lot of Nickelback in the past...when This is How You Remind Me came out I listed to it over and over again on one of my road trips to Texas!!! Thankfully it was a CD, so I didn't wear out any cassette tapes Growing up, my step dad loved ZZ TOP, ACDC, Deep Purple, so I heard a lot of that music, as well I also listen to a lot of music from the 40's and 50's, especially when I am cooking and I play my own playlist of those songs often while we are eating dinner Good luck picking a song to create a layout about...I can tell that this will be a TRUE challenge for you, like it has been for the rest of us!!! Edited to add that it is CRAZY how much technology has advanced...I remember having to go to the library to use their encyclopedias to write papers!!

 

[Su_Sanne]

I finally did it! Here are my takes.
The first one is just a tribute to Nickelback and their wonderful music.
The second one fits perfectly to your new Backgroundpapers. And besides I still love him ...

This challenge will push me to my limits because I have to change my style again completely.
Thank you again for your Standing O. It means a lot to me, because I created it in memory of a great artist.
I was in a Prince FB group for a long time. When he died we decided that everyone should go to a body of water and throw purple flowers into it. Hopefully Google translated this correctly. It sounds so weird in English. It was probably the autobiographical film that really touched me.
