Songs I just listened to.

[dlgood]

I was gonna do the meme where you list favorite lyrics and ask people to identify the songs you've just gone through on your playlist. But I can't pick lyrics. So I'm just giving out the list of the last 25 songs on my playlist. There's some incongruousness:

01) Joy Division - Dead Souls
02) Ambrosia - Biggest Part of Me
03) Concrete Blonde - Joey
04) Paul Young - Everytime You Go Away
05) INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
06) Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
07) Various Artists (Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert) - My Back Pages
08) Prince - 1999
09) The Little River Band - Lonesome Loser
10) The Rolling Stones - 2000 Light Years From Home
11) The Donnas - 5 O'Clock in the Morning
12) Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Tha Crossroads
13) The Monkess - I'm a Believer
14) Donnie Iris - Ah Leah
15) Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
16) Dio Holy - Diver
17) Van Morrison - Domino
18) Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
19) Martha & The Vandellas - Jimmy Mack
20) Rush - A Passage to Bangkok
21) Psychedlic Furs - Love My Way
22) Van Halen - Jump
23) Tone Loc - Wild Thing
24) John Cougar Mellencamp - Pink Houses
25) Marving Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Your Precious Love

I don't have a playlist (sigh -- the one area that I haven't yet jumped into), but yours looks pretty good to me. Where did you find the Donnie Iris song? I turn that up and sing along whenever it's on the radio, but have never been able to find it anywheres else. The rest of the list looks like it's all to my taste too. (has flashback to grade 11, when Metallica/Megadeath lived in my walkman)

I'll second the bit about Donnie Iris, which I had assumed was a regional thing, he being from Akron and all.

I got ahold of the Donnie Iris from my buddy Brent. Apparently, Iris still gets loads of airplay in Pittsburgh.

Well, that makes sense too, since I was mistaken in my earlier post -- Iris is from Beaver Falls, PA. My association of him with the Akron/Cleveland new wave scene must have arisen because his keyboardist, producer and cowriter on "Ah! Leah!," Mark Avsec, is a Clevelander.

How the sounds filtered out to Alberta and Lady Starlight, I don't know.

Perhaps it's somehow related to the hockey-mullet phenomenon
