Not a favorite, but still a very talented and inspired band from the 80s. They're free spirited music is always a fun escape from reality. My favorite songs are "Livin' On A Prayer" and "Shot Through the Heart". They're rock music has inspired generations of artists and generations to come.
sharing music that has been there for me throughout my life, the ups and downs. I wanted to share some of that happiness and comfort with the world. no rap, no mosh pits, just the classics.

Elvis Presley pt 2
I know I already did a post on Elvis Presley, but I have slowly delved deeper into his era of music. He completely dominated a time period of the world, influenced so many artists like one of my favorites Freddy Mercury in his song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and set surpassed expectations like no other artist. Although he is not my favorite artist (I feel I resonate deepest with Elton John's music), I have nothing but respect for his expression. I visited a record store in Berkeley, CA this past week and was able to snag an amazing find- a record from 1990 on Elvis Presley's greatest live hits. The cover shows Elvis passionately shouting his lyrics, hugging the microphone and blinded by the love from his fans. I love it!

ABBA
Inspired by my love for the movie "Mama Mia", I love the music from the band ABBA. The Swedish band started in Stockholm in the early 1970s and took off. My favorite songs that are used in the movie are "Dancing Queen"and "Money, Money, Money". These songs went perfectly with each scene of the movie (as the movie was based around the music of ABBA). I'm sure lots of people are familiar with their music from the movie, but even the songs that aren't in the movie are very catchy. I love their songs!

This post is not for any specific music artist. This post is for 9/11. Today we mourn and honor the lives of thousands who were taken too soon. We are still grieving and appreciating the loss of family members, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, friends, and heroes who are now resting in paradise. Music can heal our souls, so I hope everyone takes a moment on this emotional day to breathe and listen to your favorite song as it cradles your spirit. Thank you music for bringing such healing, and we will never forget. <3

Michael Jackson
From youth to adulthood, Michael Jackson had one of the most influential voices to music. He has his own iconic persona that lives long past his death. I love "ABC" with Jackson 5; I remember my first time hearing it and thinking it was one of the catchiest tunes ever. His music has and will live on forever.
