Music!

Abby and I just had a great time making our music playlist!! Take a look and tell us which one is your favorite.

Abby's favorite: MMMBop by Hanson.
Jeff'f Favorite: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.

--Buffalo Soldiers--It's our theme song, so we had to use it!
--The Chris Daughtry (Hemorrhage) and Taylor Hicks (Takin' it to the Streets) songs were two of our favorite performances on American Idol. I am, unashamedly, a big fan of American Idol (minus last year) and we both agree that season 5 was probably the best there will ever be.
We also found this cover of Georgia on my Mind (by Taylor Hicks) that we really liked. I really enjoyed listening to Taylor Hicks, but hated his first album. I don't know if the producers were just trying to make him sound a little more mainstream or what, but I thought it was a huge disappointment. I think he sounds a lot better singing soul music and the blues, and that is why I liked this cover.
--The Ray Charles song is obviously a cover of Johnny Cash's famous song. I found this on youtube a while ago and loved it. The video was really great because it had Johnny Cash introducing Ray Charles. As a former piano player, I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone that can play that well. It's a great remake.
--Abby and I are both big Queen fans, so that is why we have the most Queen tracks. Whenever we go on a road trip, we're always rocking out to queen (and so is Max as he yells "LOUDER!" from the back seat). When I was younger I thought they were cool (probably because of the famous Wayne's World scene), but as I listen to them now I can't help but notice what great musicians they were!
--We couldn't find our favorite song from the Walk the Line soundtrack (It ain't me, Babe--another road trip best) so we added Jackson instead. We like trying to sing the simple harmonies together!
--The Led Zeppelin song is a classic. I have liked it for a long time, and Abby fell in love once she saw it on the One Tree Hill season 3 finale! I read somewhere that Led Zeppelin has only licensed the use of their songs for two TV shows: The Sopranos and One Tree Hill. Not too shabby, OTH!
--Abby loves Hairspray, and I have to admit that I liked it quite a bit. These are two songs that we especially liked from the movie.
--The final three songs are just songs that we were starting to remember from Jr. High/High School. We were going to add a lot more, but ran out of time. Maybe we'll add some 90's classics a little later.
