For months I have been trying to figure out the name and artist of "22" - I heard it on Pandora but my computer had frozen up and I couldn't retrieve the artist/song title info - and you have not only given me the information but now I also have the song. It is my theme song too.

I think the new one was consistently good though.<br /><br />Penny - I figured we would see eye to eye on most of this.

Firstly: Animal Collective...why?...Love this list!<br /><br />Firstly: Animal Collective...why??????? They ARE from Maryland and normally I try to shove some love that way since I reside here but I can't. Again, I ask...why???<br /><br />Love Sex Magic was so dirty and so awesome. Love it.<br /><br />T. Swift-She does, indeed, look like a muskrat. mmhmm..Her personality irritates the hell out of me and they whore her on telly and pretty much every where and have you heard her live?? Holy wow sister...<br />Aside from these items I like her lyrics. I think they are simple and sweet and her guitar playing is relatively novice so I enjoy playing and singing her stuff on my guitar. I can learn and play pretty much any of her songs in a matter of minutes on guitar.<br /><br />Lily Allen-Agreed. She's interesting. Like her voice.<br /><br />So glad you jumped on the Gaga bus. I have been singing her praises for months and months. When Just Dance was released I liked the poppy-ness of it and then after doing some research I found out she writes her own stuff, plays piano and the bitch can sing better than Aguilera, in my opinion. Love her. Let your freak flag fly.<br /><br />Pearl Jam- YES, YES, YES<br /><br />As far as anything from UK, you know I agree with you. I was sad not to see some Muse on there but I am slightly biased since I worship Matt Bellamy.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178833067912940139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-77591491961216396702009-12-21T17:39:25.871-05:002009-12-21T17:39:25.871-05:00Pheonix is the best thing that has happened to my ...Pheonix is the best thing that has happened to my life recently.

I thought "The Fear" was a pretty good commentary on fame, for a pop song as well.<br /><br />I also agree with Taylor Swift - she seems ok but her voice isn't spectacular, at least not the songs she's singing now. Maybe she has more hidden away? <br /><br />I hate Franz Ferdinand though and I can't get into Kasabian despite one of my friends ADORATION of them for years now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1818565897191880252009-12-21T12:58:44.918-05:002009-12-21T12:58:44.918-05:00I love the new Pearl Jam album.I love the new Pearl Jam album.Del-Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177208284239709601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-22003745299071960542009-12-21T11:51:59.508-05:002009-12-21T11:51:59.508-05:00Great list!
