Mine would have to be NightRanger greatest hits or maybe the Carpenters greatest hits. ---

Okay, I’ll bite. Backstreet Boys _Millenium_. My friend left it in my truck, and I keep “forgetting” to give it back to her. I also dig Juice Newton’s Greatest Hits. Hey, I’m not proud, but at least I’m honest. stv ---

Actually, I’m totally not ashamed to admit it, but I feel like I should be: **Spiceworld** **New Aerosmith** , including **Jaded** and **Never Want to Close my Eyes**. God help me, for I love the Spice Girls. Love, love, love. For reference, my 5 favorite bands (outside these, of course), are: **Frank Zappa** **King Crimson** **Minutemen** **My Bloody Valentine** **Built to Spill** But, I’m a sucker for a good pop song. I also love **Olivia Newton-John**. Maybe I should add her to the list. I was at the dentist this morning and htye were playing ONJ…made life a lot easier, let me tell you. ---

4 & 3 & 2 & 1… Why be ashamed of the Beasties? God, I love that album. The first thing that came to mind was the Carpenters. Clearly **Fluffy** and I are on the same wavelength. ---

I have, in the CD case next to my computer at this moment, _The Partridge Family Greatest Hits_. I’ll probably listen to it later on. Beat that. ---

Last year or so I passed a Maryland State Fair billboard with the announcement: “Musical guests: Styx and REO Speedwagon!” First thought: That’s pathetic. Second thought: Am I free that day? ---

Are you kidding? I’d buy tickets to see that show in a heartbeat! Although I imagine Styx doesn’t have quite the same “Oomph!” as they did when I saw their Grand Illusion tour back in 1978. ---

#1) Songs 4 Worship - I just can’t get enough of Shout to the Lord and Awesome God. I don’t even go to church or anything, I just like the songs. Cellllll-e-brate Jesus Celebrate! #2) I have a mix CD containing Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, N-Sync, etc. A bunch of popular songs from the radio mostly. I wrote “Songs I don’t want anyone to hear me listening to” on the disc so I know which one it is. ---

Not only do I own and listen to The Brady Bunch’s “It’s a Sunshine Day” CD, but I also try to do the dance they did on the talent show to “Keep On”.
