On my iPod - Artists beginning with "B"
Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 12:20PM
Here's what I have queued up...agree...disagree? Tell me your favorites!
B-52s - "Woo...stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!" One of my favorite memories of college was being at my best friend Eric's apartment off-campus for a Love Shack party. To this day, I can't hear that song without thinking of those good times.
Barenaked Ladies - "If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you an exotic pet, like a llama or an emu." Fun song, fun band.
The Beatles - "It was 20yrs ago today..." Thanks to Mangoboy #2, I am loaded with Beatles songs on my iPod. Loving the re-listen to the fab-four. I personally like their trippy stuff, because I think that was when they were musical geniuses. But, I'll still get up and boogie Ferris Bueller style when "Twist and Shout" is played...
Big Tent Revival - This was THE band that turned me back around to Christian music back in the mid-90s. After having loved the Christian rock bands of the 80s (Undercover, Altar Boys, etc...), it seems like we hit a dry spell. "Two Sets of Joneses" is a constant replay on my speakers.
Bob Marley - Another throw-back to college days. I don't know anyone that did not have Marley's "Legend" album in my dorm. "Don't worry...about a thing...every little thing is gonna be alright..." Man, I could do an entire post on Bob Marley music alone..."Positive Vibration", "Redemption Song"...great ones.
Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra - this is like a palette cleanser...I think Kendra put this on my playlist.
Bob Marley - Yes, I know I just mentioned Bob Marley, but at theMangoTimes it deserves double mention. Every time "Jamming" comes on, I get a little jump in my step... "and I hope you like jammin too!"
Quietly making noise mon!

Where are the Black Eyed Peas??? ;)
I know this is a stretch, but ever since I heard of Dave Mathews appearing on House, and Hugh Laurie nicknaming him Band (you know...The Dave Matthews...Band), DMB has become Band for me. Thus, Ol' Fav Dave belongs in the B list. Near the top.
And, yeah, where are those Black Eyed Peas? I could tell you a great story about I've Got A Feeling...but it is better not put in print. Better on the back porch, with a frozen something in hand.

Fun post!! Love me some B-52s, the Beatles, esp their trippy stuff as you say. My husband and I totally got into BTR....the Ballad of Arlis Richards brings back great memories. Just recently got into and appreciate Bob Marley. Love Rihanna's version of Redemption, a really beautiful song. 3 Little Birds - LOVE that song!
So the rest of the "B"s on my iPod? Everything from Barry White to Barbra Streisand, Bob Seger to the Bee Gees. I can admit to the Bee Gees cuz there's a special place in my musical heart for some sweet disco. How about you???
Only B on my iPod is BB King, doing When Love Comes to Town with U2. Of course, it shows up under U, but it does list BB's name alongside.
BlackEyedPeas not on the pod...
Uncle Jeff, can I give you some Bob Marley? Please...
Actually, it was only a couple of weeks ago when I was reading a bit about my Rastafari friends. I would prefer not to support their chief rite by buying music from their man--not that I'm sticking it to him, though!
