* 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.
Carman – If you read the titles of the songs, then you can obviously tell this was one of the Christian artists that I listened to. He does a lot of stories within songs. One of my favorites of the story songs is the Champion. This is very religious, but a great story within a song. It’s about Jesus vs the Devil in a boxing match.
Obviously, I had a crap load of his albums. He was one of the artists that puts out at least an album a year, or at least he did when I listened to him. I’ve probably seen him in concert 3 or 4 times as well.
Chantal Kreviazuk – Yeah, I’ve never heard of her either. Cheri had, because this was track 3 on the CD she made me.
Choir, the – Most of those songs are off one album because I loved that album. Technically, it is a Christian group but they aren’t overly religious. I wouldn’t know how to classify their music as far as their sound, maybe alternative. You’ll just have to go listen to them here. The album I really liked was Circle Slide, I don’t know any of their newer stuff. To be honest, I didn’t know they had newer stuff.
Colbie Cailat – I had never heard of her until Cheri, now, as you can see, I know 5 of her songs. The song that started it all though is “Bubbly” when she made it track 4 on our CD.
In this section, I’ll figure out my favorites from this post and maybe some other stuff.

Chantal Kreviazuk also does a nice version of the Beatles' "In My Life" that I think was used for a TV theme song at one point. Also, I'm a fan of Colbie Cailat myself. You might have heard her duet with Jason Mraz on "Lucky."
ReplyDeleteLucky is on my playlist as well, but I think it's listed with Jason first so it's in the J's. Had I thought of it, I would posted it with her stuff.
DeleteChubby Checker! Nice. I'd have chaka kahn and a bunch whose last names begin with C, but not first. :)
ReplyDeleteChaka Kahn! Another artist I forgot to browse. Keep it up, you're adding more and more to my playlist. Thanks!
DeleteI don't share as many C's with you as I have the A's and B's. My playlist does include Carrie Underwood and all of the Credence Clearwater Rival songs that you listed. I graduated high school in 1969....they were very popular at that time. I love "Bad Moon Rising" and "Looking Out my Back Door"...Can't wait for the D's
ReplyDeleteMy dad was a huge CCR fan which is where I heard it all growing up.
DeleteSome really awesome music here! The only ones I really don't like are Chicago and Counting Crows. Counting Crows aren't all that bad, but I can only stand about one song from them in about a month. Chicago I really really don't like at all. I just don't like that style of singing.
