4. three songs that you know thanks to your parents

5. three songs you wish you could forget (because listening to them hurts)
• Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
• Wish You Were Here by Velvet Revolver
• Mellow Yellow by Donovan
6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible)
I won't do that. There is plenty of music that I don't like, but that's personal - I'm not qualified to be a critic. If you like something that I don't, more power to ya. Also, if I don't like it I'm not gonna give it play here. (My music posts are perennial hits, pun intended.)
7. three songs you didn’t expect to like but eventually loved

oh my gosh, so many! It's one of the best ways to find good music. All of Singles, obviously, is fantastic. Black Snake Moan is a different kind of awesome. 'Criminal Minds', 'Flashpoint', and 'Elementary', too. And 'ReGenesis'. And 'Northern Exposure'....
• Hallelujah
by Rufus Wainwright, from 'Criminal Minds' S7 E1

this makes me laugh. For years, Chris and I were working on a playlist for sex. Not together (the sex part)! I have a dozen versions and notes about it in a box of papers someplace, and a couple of versions in my iTunes. I miss that so much - the funny interests that we shared, the out-of-the-blue texted link to a song, the "Oh My GOD you have to hear this amazing album!" sharing. Some of those songs are really, really dirty....

• Tom Sawyer by Rush, which was one of my brother's most-played songs one season
• 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon, which I memorized when I was way too young to recognize what I was singing - likely both hilarious and mortifying to anyone who heard it!
• Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash
22. three songs you listen to when you’re sad
I don't seek music when I'm sad. If anything, I try hard to avoid it. I'm more into lyrics than music (sorry, purists) and equate songs with feelings about people.
