Each of these songs holds a special place in my heart. I hope you enjoyed them. I gave a short explanation on some of them. I bet some of you are surprised with some of the "oldies" I like. I have been getting more into that type of music and I can actually stand to listen to Dad's iPod. That's one small step for man one giant leap for the Foster family. My new goal.... I want to like country music!!

White and nerdy does even come close to describing things...
(You have at least one country song on there - good job!)
Meg, this is a very comprehensive list! I'm impressed! It's taken me this long to read through them all, but I finally made it. :) I think that your love and talent for music is a beautiful thing. It will evolve a lot over the years, but when you're older and life has changed for you and you hear one of these songs, it will take you back and you'll love to think of the different stages in your life from that perspective. I think you are one cool chick! I love you a lot!
I am so happy that a Foster has finally graduated their musical tastes beyond the sappy, crappy realm of crap like Air Supply (Mark), Neil Diamond (Tyler), and Garth Brooks, all of whom I am happy to see do not make a single appearance on your list.
That doesn't mean I don't like commercial popular music. In fact, I love Michael Jackson -- back in the day before you were born. Both of those songs are great, but for his best, grooviest stuff, check out Off The Wall -- hands down, his best, grooviest and coolest album ever.
You have got to make me a mixx of some of this stuff. I'm an old fogey and an indie rawk snob, and though I listen to a lot of current bands, most of what I hear on what is known as "Modern Rock Radio" really sux.
At least I am hip enough to have a few albums by some of the artists you mention, namely:
Nirvana (RIP Kurt -- I still remember where I was when I heard the news of his death... did you know he would be 40 now? Man, I feel old.)
Weezer (power pop gods of the 1990s)
Postal Service
Queen! (your inclusion of "Bohemian Rhapsody" proves your koolness -- yeah it's cheezy and bombastic, that's why it's fantastic!)
Snow Patrol (their first US relase, from oh... 2001 or so)
Andrew WK (another guilty pleasure)
Anyway, make me another mixx and enlighten me about what the kidz like these daze. Love you Meg...
