No offense, but when I read the lyrics to "Any Man of Mine," I thought 
it should be re-titled "Any *Slave* of Mine."  Catchy tune, but what the 
lyrics ask for is just unreasonable.  Maybe she's being facetious or 
sarcastic?

Hard question.  The number one item on my list is obvious:

Carl Orff - Carmina Burana
        My parents had an album when I was young and impressionable,
        and it wormed its way deep into my brain, especially after
        seeing it performed live while still young and impressionable
        (and three-and-a-half-times since, the half time being a modern
        dance ensemble that just did side two of the record).  Parts of
        it were playing in my head all through my first summer away from
        home.  Since I didn't have any way to listen to the original
        all that summer, it started mutating into something different,
        and my mental version has never fully reconverged with Orff's.
        It's joyous, dramatic, gaudy and theatrical.  It's an
        affirmation of life and a touchstone for my mind.

Other than that, there are just a lot of songs I kinda like.

"Waltzing with Bears" appears on a number of folk albums.  I think I
first met it on a Bok, Muir, Trickett album.  It's one of the few songs
I bothered to learn the words to.  I sing it to Arlo almost every day. 
I'm working on learning the words to the companion song that the
Berrymans do, about my dear Aunt Emily, who sings in her sleep.

"Just Follow That Road" by Anne Hills is a love song written the form of
travelling directions.

I should mention something from Michelle Shocked's "Arkansas Traveler"
album, Sally Rogers and Claudia Schmidt's "Closing the Distance", but I
don't know how to choose just one song off either one of them.  These
two albums and Lauri Anderson account for a significant fraction of all
the music fragments that live in my head.

I have an album by the Balineski Quartet that is indispensible to me. 
It's a string quartet doing non-electronic arrangements of a lot of
music originally composed as electronic music.  It's mechanical and
energizing, and the perfect grading music.  When I have to do a
mind-numbing and depressing job that nevertheless requires me to stay
mentally alert (grading papers qualifies, believe me), the Balinesky
Quartet goes in the CD player with the REPEAT button down.  I've heard
it a couple thousand times through now, and I still love it.

Re#33- I always took it as being facetious. I like the music and it
just sounds really upbeat.

I can't believe I forgot Queen!  Okay, so...
 -The entire 'It's a Kind of Magic' album.

And some others-

 -Daddy, Foolish Games, Everyday Angels- by Jewel.
 -Puff The Magic Dragon- Peter Paul and Mary
 -Centerfold- by the J. Giles Band- I have no idea why I like this song,
        I just fell in love with it when I was little (when I was a sweet
        innocent lamb who had **no** idea what the song was about...)

 Mostly what I find myself listening to now is the radio (I used to love
Savage Garden, but since my tape player has decided to keep it and not
give it back, they've kinda gotten on my nerves.) So half the songs I
like I have no idea what they're names are.

I forgot to mention

"Blue Moon" (Cowboy Junkies version)-- Actually I love the entire Trinity
Sessions album, which was recorded in an old church.  In fact its my
wake-up CD on many days.

"Love Shack" (B52's)-- I spent one christmas in the actual Love Shack, a
psychedelic log cabin in upstate new york where they shot the video for
this.

"Piano Man" (Billy Joel)

Beethoven's 9th Symphony (preferably a version from Berlin Philharmonic
conducted by Herbert Von Karajan, although there are many good versions)
Nothing like putting on Beethoven's 9th, turning the volume up all the way
and opening up all the windows.

Re: all those people who remembered the artists that I forgot:  The only 
reason I forgot/didn't know the artists is because DJ's very rarely name 
the song and artist.

As far as the Eagles/Hotel California - I knew it, I was just blanking 
when I entered the response

Re 44: Yes, I meant the Billy Joel version, not the Iron Maiden song.

Looking at my list(s), I think it's fairly obvious which musical era I 
prefer.
