Does your favourite music give away your age?

A while back, Bob of Either Orr 'music tagged' me. I'm sorry it took so long, Bob, but this was a really hard one. Some of the music I really like I only have on LP, but I no longer have a working stereo and am too cheap to get a new one. Some of it, the best stuff, I've since bought on CD as well. Mostly I listen to country, always have, or CFMX Classical 96.3 but I was surprised that Bob's tag made me realize that much of my favourite music isn't country. Here goes:

Five LPs/CDs you can't do without:

1 - Danny Boy - John McDermott (I own all his CDs and really couldn't do without any of them, but this is the one I listen to endlessly -- ask my kids)
2 - Charlotte Church - Dream a Dream (this is a Christmas album, but I love it anytime)
3 - Van Morrison - Moondance and Irish Heartbeat
4 - Anything by Billy Joel (the older stuff actually -- haven't bought anything since Glass Houses)

Three LPs/CDs you own that people wouldn't expect you to own:

-- The soundtracks to Footloose, Flashdance and Fame

Three songs that make you roll down the window and crank the radio/CD player full blast:

Currently -- Redneck Woman by Gretchen Wilson
-- Hell Yeah! by Montgomery Gentry
-- You Still Own Me by Johnny Reid

and there's another one -- it's a rugby anthem called Ireland's Call -- I don't even know who does it or where I got it -- it just showed up on an old tape and sounds like a bunch of lads out on the pitch singing their hearts out. I just love it.

Three songs that struck too close to home at one point:

1. Old Man -- John McDermott
2. I Believe -- Diamond Rio
3. Much Too Young (to feel this damn old) -- Garth Brooks

Three songs you never want to hear again:

I haven't been able to think of three in particular, but I hate anything loud or with gratuitous swearing.

I've already tagged Peg City Kid because he was begging for it, and now I'll tag purplefeltangel.

Thanks, Bob. It was fun to think about.
