Surgery on Friday--What's in your Favorite Music Playlist?

Parent Cafe

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I’m having surgery on Friday and music can be a great way to lift the spirits. I have quite a varied list of artists on my iPhone–Coldplay, Joss Stone, Adele, Jason Mraz, Kanye, Jack Johnson, Wiz Khalifa, Cee Lo, Alabama Shakes, Gary Clark Jr., Goodie Mob, and some classic rock. Oh–I can’t forget Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds—>don’t worry about a thing.</p>

<p>So, share some of what’s on your playlist. This thread may end up costing me a bunch of money in downloads, but I’m always looking for new music. </p>

<p>Thanks and have fun with this thread.</p>

<p>Favorite up beat funny music: They Might Be Giants [They</a> Might be Giants-Birdhouse In Your Soul - YouTube](<a href=“They Might be Giants-Birdhouse In Your Soul - YouTube”>They Might be Giants-Birdhouse In Your Soul - YouTube)

<p>and everything else on the Album “Flood”</p>

<p>a little long on the tooth but still makes me smile :)</p>

<p>Given your interest in Alabama Shakes and rock in general, I would definitely recommend Jack White’s new album and anything by The Black Keys and/or The White Stripes.</p>

4

<p>I’m one for peaceful soundtracks, mainly orcestra when i’m stressed or what have you.</p>

5

<p>I like Allison Krause and James Taylor to destress. When I have medical things i use my Ipod to zone out/remove myself. I find it so helpful.</p>

6

<p>Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.</p>

7

<p>I’m weird. I like Neil Diamond when I’m stressed. Crackln’ Rose. Yeah.</p>

<p>Good luck on Friday. Let us know how it goes.</p>

<p>Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash duets - they sound so in love with each other - especially Jackson. This song always makes me happy - don’t know if you can get it as an MP3: [5</a> Chinese Brothers–She’s a Waitress (And I’m in Love) - YouTube](<a href=“5 Chinese Brothers--She's a Waitress (And I'm in Love) - YouTube”>5 Chinese Brothers--She's a Waitress (And I'm in Love) - YouTube)</p>

<p>I like 10,000 Maniacs, Cowboy Junkies, Richard Thompson for mellow.</p>

<p>For a more country sound: John Prine and my absolute favorite Guy Clark (especially everything on Dublin Blues.)</p>

<p>Classic Rock: The Kinks always make me happy.</p>

<p>I’m still regularly blown away by the harmonies of Peter, Paul and Mary.</p>

<p>Even earlier: Buddy Holly, The Twist (Chubby Checkers), Rock Around the Clock</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I have a pretty wide range of music in my Favorite Playlist and only listed a few of them. I forgot to mention–Michael Jackson, a couple of James Taylor/Carole King duets, Sara Bareilles, and some old Motown stuff. I love using the shuffle option and enjoying the random mix of them.</p>

<p>bjs_7, It’s funny you mentioned Jack White’s new album. A couple of days ago, I accidentally downloaded one of the songs—Blunder something or other. It’s not my cup of tea, but his fans seem to really love this album.</p>

<p>I just thought of some–Crosby, Stills, and Nash. How could I have forgotten to add a couple of these classics?<br>
Logging off for a little while to dowload some songs–:)</p>
