Favorite song? Band? Never could pick just one. Every thing in my life is associated by a song or a musical group of some style.
Depends on my mood, depends on what is going on in my life, depends on who I am with, what I'm involved with etc. etc. lol
I can go from listening to old rock to new wave, to Christian rock, to Black Eye Peas, to kids nursery songs to classical and enjoy them all.
I will say the music that influenced my childhood the most was the Beatles, namely Paul. I don't think any group, any set of songs, have ever come close to the talent, the music, the surge that the Beatles took hold of everyone. Yesterday was a song that I could play over and over and over and over and never tire of it. Paul was my Idol when young.
Later I would have to say Led Zepplin and ZZ Top, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, all supplied my love for music.
Some of the songs that was engraved in my mind and brings up some bittersweet memories would be Bridge Over Trouble Waters, Color My World, Like A Rock, Turn the Page to name a few.
Yanni holds some special memories of my Mother since she introduced me to this music and we both had a love for his style.
Right now my daughter and I have been in a strange mood for our music and have been playing all of Adam Lambert's music tonight playing his song Mad World over and over. Can't ever get bored with that song.
Anyways, not just one song....many songs help develop me into the person that I am musically.
