Great taste in music.
...oh, look, that wasn't very original of me, was it?!

Okay, Meatloaf...I don't know why I like him so much, but there you have it!

He's still playing as I write this otherwise my comment might have been much shorter. ;)

Morgan,
I'm with you about Meatloaf. I probably shouldn't love him as much as I do, but there it is.

Sarah and Spacey,
Thanks.

Isabel said...

Nice variety of music you have there. Great list of songs sweets. :)

Robin said...

At last - a list where I actually know most of the songs.

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad is one of my very favorite songs. In fact, that whole album (oh boy, album, did I just date myself?) is one of my all-time favorites. I still know it by heart, start to finish, and there's still nothing to beat it.

Holly said...

Robin,

Bat Out of Hell is an amazing album. I agree all the songs on it are amazing. Same with Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell. I completely agree there's nothing to beat it.

Thanks for visiting.

Izzy,
Did you even know any of these songs? LOL J/K

Mollie said...

Great list Holls! LOVE the Redding song and that's one of my fav parts in Pretty in Pink!!! :)

soleil said...

i really like closer and blister in the sun from your list. i like how you included the videos too.

Holly said...

Mollie,
Isn't that a fab movie? I know it's just a bunch of 80's cheese, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure. :)

Soleil,
I figured the vids might help anyone who wasn't familiar with some of the songs.

I love NIN, but I swear their vids are whack.

WendyWings said...

Great list and good to see it spans the decades too.
Happy TT day to you.
I loveee Eric Clapton, my husband calls him Eric Clappedout how rude lol.

Sunshine said...

Excellent TT and thanks for visiting!

Nicole Austin said...

Great list! #4 & #9 are on my top favorites list too.

Happy TT!

cajunvegan said...

You have rocking taste. I love every one of these songs as well, and I have to agree with you about the Closer video.

Happy TT!

Nicholas said...

I've run The Hall of the Mountain King about four times now. Love it!

Shannon said...

great songs! I love Blister in the Sun! :) Hope you are having a great week!

katy said...

Awesome! Love the videos :-)

Beta Fishy said...

I agree with most of your songs! But I felt immediate joy at your first one. Fool in the Rain is my favorite Led Zepplin song. Once heard Umphrey's McGee do a cover of it in concert, and it was just as good! sigh! Good times....
