A while back I confessed to reading in a broad range of genres. Good is good, and it doesn't have to be limited to one area. I've always felt that way about a great many things. I still go to movies, even after they stopped making good westerns.
I thought it might be fun to check out my music. I have close to 500 songs on my iPhone. This device speaks to my truck and plays music during my commute. I'll bet nobody has a more mixed up playlist than I do. This phone contains the following (in part):
AC/DC
The Alan Parsons Project
Alice Cooper
Aretha Franklin
The B-52's
The Beach Boys
Beyoncé
Blue Oyster Cult
Bonnie Rait
Brad Paisley
Cher
Chuck Berry
Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen
The Corrs
Creedence Clearwater Revival
David Bowie
Del Shannon
Dwight Yoakam
ELO
Elvis

The Irish Rovers
The Isley Brothers
Jethro Tull
Jimmy Durante
Joan Jett with and without The Blackhearts
John Cougar Mellencamp

Pink
Paul Revere & The Raiders
The Pointer Sisters

Stray Cats
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Am I eclectic, or flat out insane? Seriously, who has a playlist with Jimmy Durrante, Reba McEntire, and Metallica on it? Let me hear it in the comments. Is your playlist a rival of mine, or do you stick with one style of music?

I listen to many of these, but not from a playlist, and not when I’m writing. Also, I’m a few years older than you are, so I have more early 20th century favorites that I grew up listening to on Gramma’s 78 rpm records – all, sadly, long gone (thank goodness for YouTube).

I write in silence. This gets most used commuting to and from work. My grandfather had a few 78s himself.

Yikes… then I’m afraid I’m eclectic as well! I’ve got Pink and Pink Floyd. Detroit Spinners and Eminem (who is from Detroit).Big Time Rush and Crowded House, The Wreckers, Susan Boyle, The Harlem Boys Choir, LeeAnn Womack, Bette Middler, Neyo, Wynona Judd, Katy Perry, Warrant, Celine Dion, A Great Big World, and Sam Smith, not to mention all my 60s band buddies songs. Of course there are a lot more, but you get the idea. 😉

Ah. But then who buckled the arms to the back? 😉 Do I also get a laminated card to say I’m a card carrying member? Or does that cost extra?

We’ll have Lisa buckle the back. Sure, we can make laminated cards. Maybe even little tinfoil hats.

(Waving her hand in the air) Me too! Me too! Not Jimmy Durante or Reba but I have Louis Armstrong, Bonnie Raitt, AC/DC, and about 90% of your list. I’m not so into the more contemporary artists though I do love Pink. I also have Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Led Zeppelin, The Del McCoury Band, The Lumineers, etc. I don’t think we’re crazy; we just know what we like!

Only 500? Funny all this music and I rarely tune in.

I must have owned 500 eight tracks at one time. Then it was a thousand cassettes. Now I have to re-purchase everything on iTunes. The difference is I can limit it to the good songs. It just feeds directly to my truck. I don’t play it anywhere else.

No playlist… sorry. I’m still in the CD era, with tons of them in my console. But– most of them match your playlist so I must be doing something right.

My playlist is more eclectic than yours, but you definitely outdo me with reading choices 🙂
Also, who wants to hang out with anyone who ONLY listens to one type of music or reads one type of book? Bor-ing!
