On my iPod - Artists Beginning with "J"

Jack Johnson - "Banana Pancakes" - I can't get this memory out of my mind. We lived in a really cool neighborhood in San Francisco. On Saturday mornings I would push the oldest mangoboy down to Peet's Coffee in his stroller, get a cup of coffee, and then walk back up and make pancakes, frenchtoast or some other breakfast treat.
Jimmy Buffett - "I don't Know and I Don't Care" - great little tune about living life on the periphery, hence the title.
Johnny Cash - "I Walk the Line" - the man in black. I love listening to Cash. Did you catch Joaquin Phoenix in the movie?
John Coltrane - "Epistrophy" - great jazz with the Thelonius Monk quartet. This piece especially makes me feel like I'm in a smoky club checking out some good tunes.
Joey DeFrancesco - "Fly Me to the Moon" - more jazz. I would love to have this as background music to my day to day life.

Well, with 1,761 different artists playing 20,000 songs on my iPod, I guess I'll pick the least used letter, Z.
Zebra - "Tell Me What You Want": Throw back from high school. I was a metal head until my senior year when I embraced KMEL type music. This song is very rockin' and was somewhat of an anthem of mine during this turbulent time. Yes, BC (Before Christ.)
Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers - "When The Lights Gone Out (Jamaican Stylee)": "When the lights go out / And the food goes out / It's the music, the music." I have every Ziggy album up into the late 90s. I loved Ziggy and this song really summed it all up for me. No matter how bad things got, I always had my music to listen to. Again, BC. Music was a HUGE part of my life in high school and college (can you tell with my immense library?) and there were a lot songs that helped me get through rough times (man, Peter Gabriel's So was big my Sophomore year -- sorry, not a Z artist) and Ziggy's stuff was one very well driven avenue during those times.
ZOEgirl - "Anything is Possible": I don't know why I have this, I'm not a big ZG fan, but this song works. It gets the feet movin'. Maybe that's why I have it, for my work outs...when I used to do that. :(
Zwan - "Yeah!": My long lost hope that Billy would reproduce the original feel of the Smashing Pumpkins. "Yeah!" was close, but no pumpkin. Zwan failed as a band as it was far from every being a smash.
ZZ Top - "Sharp Dressed Man": Ya, I could have picked the other two really huge hit of theirs, but this one did more for me since it didn't get the overplay the first two singles did. I still can remember this video and how they turned a geek boy into a commanding DUDE. Ya, what a dream that was of mine in high school. What geek didn't want to be regarded with such respect? :)
