Well... as I wrote in reply to another post here on PC recently, I recall reading or perhaps hearing someone say (such as on TV) several years ago that as people get older they tend to go back to the music of their youth. I never have. If I never hear any of that old stuff again it will be too soon! I don't go to stores or restaurants much. But I hate it when I do & they're playing some old popular music song. It makes me want to run for the nearest door!

Still... there are popular songs that have caught my ear & become guilty favorites. These are more recent popular songs though... not the old timers I was referring to above. One such is "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey. Another is "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. A third would be "Destroy Everything You Touch" by Ladytron. And then a fourth would be "Diamonds in the Sky" by Rihanna.

I'm also especially fond of "Nobody Knows Me at All" by The Weepies, for a very special reason which I won't go into here. (I've written about it here on PC back when I was here the first time around.

And then one more song I'll mention is "Ensemble" by Jean Jacques Goldman. I love the killer tin whistle introduction they sometimes start this song off with. Here's a link to my favorite YouTube video of it:



Anyway... thanks for posting this! It was really fun writing my reply!
