Heddy did a post about The Daily Digi team’s favorite songs a few weeks ago and it was fun to see how our choices were put together to make a playlist. When she asked us to list our favorites I knew I needed to blog (and scrap) about my music tastes because they are really varied and sort of silly in some ways. I wonder how many people were able to pick out which ones were my own playlist choices? I have a really wide range of favorites, but I have to admit that some of my favorites are from the 80's. I guess I'm stuck in that decade, but I think it's great stuff!

Were you surprised by any of my choices? Do you like any of the same songs, or do you have completely different taste in music? Would others be able to guess what your favorite songs are? Have you ever documented your own playlist favorites? Memory Monday is the perfect time to do just that!
