A to Z Challenge–Babyface to Bush

* the “genres” listed are my own timeline of music which you’ll find here.  If you want to know a quick story of the genre, (Why the hell is he listening to that?) then click the genre link to go back to the timeline page.  (My genres are classic, 80’s, Christian, hip hop/rap/90’s, rock/alternative, Virginia song, before spotify and spotify.

**Any pictures of album covers denotes that I owned it at one time in my life.

Beatles, the – I love the Beatles music.  Sadly, they don’t allow their music on Spotify so I have to use a cover band again.  They do a decent job, most songs you can’t tell unless you really listen.

Beyonce – I’m not a huge fan of Beyonce (other than her looks) but “I Was Here” has great lyrics.

The sad thing is, that isn’t my favorite song by her.  I mentioned in my music timeline that my wife made me a CD when we were dating.  Halo was the first song on it and I pretty much fell in love with all the songs on it the first time I heard them.  Except the couple songs that I already knew.

 

Billy Squire – I definitely have some history with Billy Squier.  He had the first album (cassette) that I ever bought myself.  I love, love, love “the Stroke”.  So much that I jam Eminems “Berzerk” because it uses the Stroke’s background music.

Bon Jovi – Who didn’t have the “Slippery When Wet” album?  I like a lot of their songs but my favorite is ‘Blaze of Glory” and that’s mainly because I love the movies “Young Guns” movies.

                   

Bonnie Tyler - One of the best 80’s song of all time.

Boys Like Girls – I don’t know much about the group but what I do know is this song was track 2 on the CD that Cheri made for me in our dating years.

Boyz II Men – I loved Boyz II Men in my hip hop days.  I loved the CooleyHighHarmony album and listened to it all the time.  I also loved “End of the Road” when it was released as a single.

                   

Bryan Adams – I really liked Bryan Adams in the 80’s.  My favorite was “Summer of ‘69” and I probably still know the whole song.  I also really liked “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” because I liked the Robin Hood:  Prince of Thieves movie.
