I ducked until now

But [livejournal.com profile] kijjohnson tagged me, and I simply cannot tell her "No."

List eight of your favorite songs and then pick eight people to do the same:

"Into the West" by Annie Lennox
"Why Should I Cry For You" by Sting
"The Mystic's Dream" by Loreena McKennitt
"Ce He Mis Le Ulaingt (The Two Trees)" by Loreena McKennitt
"Songs from the Woods" by Jethro Tull
"Once I Was the King of Spain" by Moxie Fruvas
"Shout" by the Isley Brothers
"Red Rain" by Peter Gabriel

Notes (I agree with [livejournal.com profile] weaselmom that it's good the meme calls for "eight favorite songs" rather than "favorite eight songs." It's exceedingly difficult to narrow the list down):

1. It's all about my LOTR addiction, baby.
2. Reminds me of my first book.
3. This was the first song I heard her sing in concert. The performance made me go out to the lobby during intermission and get every single one of her CDs. It blew me away. I listened to this album over and over as I worked on Swans
4. Can't think of a better song to explain what it's like living with depression--and how to get over it.
5. From my young adulthood. And hey, it's on [livejournal.com profile] kijjohnson's list!
6. Infectiously fun.
7. This was done at the dance at my wedding reception and the weddings of all my siblings. Very fond memories of dancing wildly in a crowd to this.
8. See note to #5.

The eight lucky bastards:*

Remind me sometime to give you a mix from my bootleg tapes and the B and C albums by Moxy Fruvous.

If you don't have them already.

Holy Crap!

I thought I was the only one who loved "Why Should I Cry For You?"

I didn't know you were a Moxy Fruvous fan! I've got everthing they've ever recorded, including the first tape when they could only afford to record 6 songs, so both sides of the tape are the same. :)

I've also had the pleasure of seeing them perform live numerous times, once at an outdoor concert at -30 C.

I did the meme of six here To add two, they'd probably be Fairground Attraction's Falling Backwards and I Walk the Earth from Voice of the Beehive...
