Double Tagged

I've been tagged by Jodi, who says I spend too much time keeping up with Paris Hilton, and posting photos on Flickr, so she's hit me with TWO memes! Actually, she didn't say that, I just decided to do some shameless Flickr self-promotion here. Can't help it, I'm an addict!

First the RULES!
1. Each person tagged - if they want to play along - has to write about 5-10 songs that had an impact on them in their life.
2. They should link back to me as well as Jodi.
3. Then, if so inclined, tag five more people.

I've got well over 500 LPs, 45s and CDs, so it's difficult to narrow this down to a number. Plus my tastes have changed a lot over the years. In any event, five songs that have had an impact (not necessarily my favorites)....

1. Lonely Teardrops - Jackie Wilson. Can't listen to Jackie Wilson without becoming a child all over again. My parents loved this guy's stuff.

2. I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles. Saw them do it on the Ed Sullivan Show and became a fan forever.

3. Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade. My all-time favorite song throughout the 70's. Drinking beer in the park, "almost" getting in trouble on a regular basis, girls, etc.... When Quiet Riot did their version, I wrote to Slade and begged them to sue!

4. Fight The Power - Public Enemy. My militant period.

5. Twilight - Delerium. No words, but the song speaks to me. These days it's Delerium, Amethystium, Mythos, Enigma....and old Motown stuff.

I think I've already done the Eight Random Facts meme, but let's see if I have eight more!

1. I've only smoked once, didn't inhale :)

2. Never owned a dog or cat. I think pets are unpredictable, even if they know you.

3. Priorities. If my computer breaks down, I'll get another one tomorrow even if it means going into debt. My bed, on the other hand, has a piece of rotting plywood between the mattress and box spring to prevent me from falling to the floor.

4. Apparently, I'm lactose intolerant.

5. I hold the world's record for being chased home by stray dogs as a kid.

6. I floss twice a day.

7. Crazy people like to sit next to me on the subway.

8. I didn't realize I was this boring until I tried coming up with eight random facts (thanks, Jodi, LOL!)

I won't tag anyone this time, but you're all free to pick it up and run with it if you like.
