i know i didn't do this quite as well as imtheoldmannow
http://my.opera.com/imtheoldmannow/blog/2008/03/10/a-musical-tag?cid=4867573
the rules:
1. name your three favorite music group's albums(can be individual
or group)
yes, yes i know "what is an album?" for those not older than dirt like
me-that is CD.
and DWG's don't count - - i don't really think they ever produced an
album.
2. name your three favorite songs from each.
feel free to tell us why, if you would like
3. then, feel free to pick on three of your friends with links to their
sites posted
i will pick people who can do this tag with their eyes closed.

you have no idea how hard this was for me to do... for days i've been
remembering my all time favorite songs to try to decide who to single
out. just like everyone, i have a thousand favorite songs... and
favorite albums.
so finally i just decided to have some fun with it, and devil take the
hindmost. for those who have no idea what i'm talking about.... how
about beethoven's ninth symphony, my favorite things (john
coltrane, brubeck and crew (desmond) "take five", i mean it just goes on and
on... edith pilaf, marlene deitrich, louis armstrong, nina simone,
...everyone i don't want to slight, because i love them...
anyway here are my labored three:
well, the old man used 'the beattles' already... i would have chosen
rubber soul, norwegian wood, michelle,eleanor rigby.
i own the negatives for these rare pictures of elvis in the army. they're probably worth a fortune.
elvis presley:
album: "fifty greatest love songs"
1. always on my mind
2. hounddog
3. love me tender
i love some bjork,
but i chose madonna for popular songs.
album: "ray of light"
1. ray of light
2. frozen
3. little star
i love "trail of broken hearts"
by k.d. lang but i couldn't vote for three on that album.
so from k.d. lang
album: "shadowland"
1. black coffee
2. shadowland
3. i'm down to my last cigarette

I think you are wrong about me, though - this won't be easy at all. I think it will be fun, though! I'll let you know when I get it done.
By noah counte, # 15. March 2008, 02:01:09
i am glad you approve. thanks for the invitation. it helped me get my music organized.
matthew,
just because you have everything organized already... you will still have the same difficulty singling out a trio of albums with three songs you love from each.
it was fun in the long run.

leena,
matthew's partial duty on the music tag was devoted to the musician poet michael franti. so i looked him up and found he is coming for a live concert here in los angeles. go listen on noahcounte's blog. you might like the music. very original.

Done! Scott, that took me a week, but it was worth it. What a lot of fun I had wading though my music.

I had dial up until just ten or 12 months ago - I'm close to town, but live in the woods with no neighbors. It's nice to be on the information superhighway, instead of that service road with speed bumps.

-fuel for car bill (just to in-town,, not work) per weekly ~ $100 US
-extreme mountain weather conditions ~ice here,, none valley ~blizzard here,, none valley ... and so on
-my drive it is about 500m long from street to house. many times in winter we can not get the auto up and down it ~treacherous icy curve in shady trees (excess of 100y old) and is a gravel drive rutted from rains/snow melt from mountain (goes downhill)
you can see my photo albums ever you care to. some country photos and some of my home. O the bill for to heat my home!
