the history of me and music

Jewel's new album is supposedly "autobiographical" in that it has songs about things that have happened in her life in the order that they happened in. I've not heard it yet (other than one song) but it got me thinking about songs that have marked places in my musical tastes over the years. So I decided to upload some songs that I was taken by or were important to me for some reason musically, and mention a few other songs that I loved over the years. (All links are YouSendit) Let's go...
( thank you for the music... )
