Music Moments #6

Being that I'm in the car roughly 2hrs a day (school runs & sports) I have a lot of time to listen to music.  You can often catch me using my steering wheel as a drum or singing at the top of my lungs.  But being that I listen to so much music I can easily get bored of a song or cd, so it's important to keep finding new stuff.  (New to me, not per say new to the market.)

During the last season or so of X Factor or American Idol I kept hearing poor attempts at some song called Radioactive.  After a while I grew curious and wondered what the actual song sounded like.  After hearing Imagine Dragons original version I knew I wanted this on my car playlist!  I went even further and gave the entire album (Night Visions) a chance.  Not every song is for me, but I definitely have favorites to recommend besides Radioactive...  Demons, I can play this over and over... On Top of the World, it's just fun.  And even better, we get to see Imagine Dragons live this summer, because they're playing at a huge weekend long music festival and we have tickets!!!

And obviously I can't survive on one album alone when bopping back and forth, so I tossed in some John Mayer also.  (Funnily enough my husband and I stumbled upon his music in the same weekend, while in different countries!)  My husband basically likes one song, Speak For Me... I am yet to get this in my car but will probably get around to it this week.  Me, I've been giving his Paradise Valley album a chance.  There are a handful of songs I like... Dear Marie, Badge & Gun, Waitin' on the Day, & I Will Be Found... o.k., more than I realized!  Needless to say, I'll be looking up more of his music.  (And I don't care that my friends laughed and said they don't take him serious.)

What are you listening to these days?  Any recommendations for my car playlist?

(BTW, still occasionally listening to the songs from Music Moments #5!)

Bye! Dag! Adios! Namaste!

  2. You sound like you like all types of music. I honestly wouldn't have any recommendations because I don't listen to anything believe it or not :) Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Countdown in Style! Don't forget to stop by Friday to see if you are featured!

  3. The problem with the radio is that Imagine Dragon's songs Radioactive and Demons is being overplayed. John Mayer though, I'm taking a break from him. I have a favorite cd from earlier, and I don't think I can take new things from him just yet. Just like Coldplay, I could listen to a new cd of theirs for months, then I have to take a break from them until my brain resets. At least there's plenty of music to try.
    I not only listen to music in the car, I crochet! Keep my hands busy. :)

  4. As for new songs, I have been listening to "Talk Dirty to Me" by Jason Derulo. Older songs are "I Drove All Night" by Cyndi Lauper and "I Want to Come Over" by Melissa Ethridge. Is there a strange theme here?

  5. I'm so old school, I listen to The Eagles, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. The only modern musician on my iPod is Jason Mraz.

  6. I love to sing, yet rarely listen to the radio. There's nothing really on my playlist, because I'm working to rebuild it. I'll have to check out these albums and see if I can groove to them. Thanks for linking up with Countdown in Style.

    1. I also rarely listen to the radio, between the commercials, commentary, and endless music I don't like, it's just not worth my time!
