Hi Everybody, since my brain does not seem to be all that creative this week, I thought I’d bring you a second installment of “What’s On My iPod”. Feel free to check out the original if you missed it. Since there weren’t too many embarrassing songs on the last one, I’ll take my chances and give it another go. I am going to shuffle my iPod, and share the first 10 songs that come up. I will only skip a song if it was already on the previous post. There are well over 12,000 songs eligible. OK, here we go:
“We Could Be Together” by Debbie Gibson
Oh man, here we go! I hope I don’t regret doing this today! But yes, this rocker fan was also crushing on Debbie Gibson in the late ’80s. And I still have her on my iPod. I always liked this song from her Electric Youth album.
2. “Dance the Night Away” by Van Halen
OK, maybe I’ll get some of my rock cred back now! We’ll jump back to 1979 and listen to this awesome song from the Van Halen II album.
3. “Stick To Your Guns” by Bon Jovi
Not bad. Outstanding song from New Jersey!
4. “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins
Oh no! I just played this freaking song in last week’s Top 40 Countdown! Well I suppose hearing it 2 times in a week isn’t as bad as hearing it 2 times an hour, every hour like when it was originally released.
5. “Overnight Sensation” by Firehouse
YES!!!! Great, great rockin’ song! I would like to write something on ’80s Rock Songs Released in the ’90s, and this would be on that list.
6. “Be With You” by The Bangles
I love this song by The Bangles from their Everything album.
7. “Lying To Yourself” by Asia
This song is on my iPod, and I don’t even remember hearing it before! It’s OK. There are plenty of other Asia songs that I like better. But, it still has that Asia sound.
8. “Do That to Me One More Time” by Captain and Tenille
Seriously? I didn’t even know this was on my iPod! Apparently it is on a Billboard Top Hits of 1980 cd. I didn’t know that Captain and Tenille were around in the ’80s.
9. “What’s Your Name” by Boston
Thank God, a good song! This is off of Boston’s Walk On album from 1994, which I think is about as good as their Third Stage album.
10. “The Show Must Go On” by Queen
Wow, what a perfect way to wrap up!!! I miss Freddie.
Well, that was interesting? Did anybody discover any new music here? Feel free to share what’s on your iPod.
