I mostly listen to the player in the car, now that I’ve stopped riding public transportation. I will listen to damn near any genre of music, every one of which is carefully categorized on my player, according to mood. Most of my musical tastes I get from movies and television shows. If I hear an especially lovely or dancy piece of music, it goes right to the player. I generally like my music to be positive and upbeat with some nice percussive work, but I do like to mellow out to some Chill or Classical music.
I’d love to get a new touchscreen player but I’m reluctant to get a new one, because it’s so easy to organize the songs on my old one, and the capacities on some of the touch screens is too low for my budget.
In no particular order are some of the songs on my favorites list:
Dessert -Dawin
Bach’s Aria De Capo
I Started a Joke- Movie trailer Theme Song for Suicide Squad
Captain America Winter Soldier-End Credits
Mizumono/Diner Rouge- Hannibal TV Series: This song is so soothing
Take Me to Church – The Hip Hop Remix
Host of the Seraphim-Dead Can Dance
Oh Death (Hip Hop Remix) – Jen Titus\
I See Fire (f. Tupac Shakur) – Ed Sheeran
Time Remix – Inception Theme
Theme from Rocky Motion Picture (Construct Remix)
War Pigs (Tyler Durden Remix) – Ozzy Osbourne
Soul Bossanova – Austin Powers Soundtrack
Papa Loves Mambo – Skeewhiff Remix
I love remixes of classic songs, especially the more upbeat songs. Hip hop and Swing are two of the best combined musical styles. There are DJs who will remix anything! You won’t believe the kind of songs that get the remix online.
I Want to Rest-Skeewhiff: I love anything by Skeewhiff.
Across 110th Street – The Jackie Brown Soundtrack
Hotel California – The Eagles
Someone Like You-Adele
Waiting All Night- Ella Eyre
Let it Be/How Do You Want It Mashup (f. Tupac and The Beatles)
Moon Over Bourbon Street (Remix) – Sting
I Want You Back- Michael Jackson
WTF – Missy Elliott
The Nobodies – Marilyn Manson
Dream On (Hip Hop Remix) – Aerosmith
Formation- Beyonce
Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding
Everything by Al Green, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Bjork, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, and last but not least, I will listen to anything by Bobby Womack. My current favorite is Harry Hippie, but that could change next week, though.
What’s on your playlist? Hit me up in the comments!
Note: However, if you are listening to a depressing acoustic version of a great classic song, don’t bother to tell me. Taking a great, upbeat song like Higher Love by Steve Winwood, and turning it into a sad, acoustic version, in order to sell bank accounts, is the one kind of music I absolutely will not listen to.
In my current play list I have-
Adagio for strings, op 11 ‘agnus dei’
At Last-Etta James
Baby I Need your Loving-Four Tops
Cherry bomb-The Runaways
Chop Suey-System of a Down
Get ur Freak On-Missy Elliot
Elements-Lindsey Sterling
It’s Tricky-Run-DMC
Stand by Me-Ben E King
Warpigs (basement Tape)-Black Sabbath
What a Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong
Give Me One Reason-Tracey Chapman
I like the oldies. Good memories for me.
You have a fantastic ear for music btw.

You’re not so bad yourself. I love Cherry Bomb! Mostly because I like to yell “Cherry Bomb!” at the top of my lungs, in the car.
I’m a huge fan of Tracy Chapman, too.
