The outpourings of a deranged mind

And we’ll have Halloween on Christmas

OK, so I totally stole this from an email from Bathgirl, but hey, that’s how memes are started. So, todays meme is to pick 5 songs that sum up your year.

I’m going for:

Fear Factory, Archetype (from the album Archetype)
Threat Signal, Counterbalance (from the album Under Reprisal) - especially the last bit
Killing Joke, You’ll Never Get To Me (from the album Killing Joke)
Blink 182, I Miss You (from the Greatest Hits album)
Fear Factory, Zero Signal (from the album Demanufacture)

Yeah, been a bit of a crap year really.

Whats on your list. Entries in the comments, or feel free to create your own blog post :D

    Ooh, tough one, requires far too much thought, just as well I’m not busy I guess

    After the watershed, Carter USM
    No way back, Foo Fighters
    Far from home, The levelers
    The Elephant Love Medley, Nicole Kidman/Ewan McGregor (it’s from Moulin Rouge)
    The show must go on, Queen

    It’s been an interesting year, but not a bad one!

    Desperation - Miranda Lambert
    Fade to Black - Metallica
    Happy Go Lucky - Steps (listen to it before you judge Dom, oh and thanks for buying me the CD for my birthday a couple of years ago)
    Dont Stop Me Now - Queen
    Shove This Jay-Oh-Bee - from Office Space

    A year of extremes, generally bad, but at least I gained some element of control towards the end. ALso, there are very few barn, sheep and goat related songs, which may make next year tricky.

    I was quite surprised to find out from iTunes, that my fave, most listened to music from 2007 was:

    1. Waiting In the Weeds - Eagles
    2. Leni - GoodBooks
    3. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
    4. Your Love Alone Is Not Enough - Manic Street Preachers
    5. Empty Space - Air Traffic

    This brings up some interesting points:

    No.3 - lordy that’s embarrassing.
    No 5 - I’ve no idea who they are - must listen…. ah yes, I do like that one.

    Not sure if that sums up the year though.

    The first part of the year would have been 5 songs from Zelda - Twighlight Princess. The rest is probably very random. Oh and I’ve been humming the Captain Scarlet theme tune for the last day or so…

    gibbja - surely some form of rendition of Old Mac Donald or similar from a CD of children’s songs :)

    Hmm - you weren’t kidding were you :D even swiped the email title…#shrugs#.

    These are my ’snapshots’ from 2007 - maybe you had to be there…

    Verve - Bittersweet Symphony (classic)
    Nine Inch Nails - Closer
    ( for a circle of respect in Rock City, mit duck)
    Our Lady Peace - Not Enough
    30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill [Bury Me]
    Monster Magnet - Live for the Moment
    Seek and Destroy : Metallica/Apocalyptica (either version will do)

    There’s one more which deserves inclusion but…

    2007 is a year which has given with one hand and taken with the other.
