Tweet Popular Products in Books Rick Bragg - Somebody Told Me: The Newspaper Stories of Rick Bragg From $6 260 Drum Machine Patterns From $8 The Bottom Line Thanks Ron, this one was fun even if it did keep me up late! This is my entry to jaguardog’s A to Z music write off. Well Ron, this was probably the toughest write off that I’ve ever entered. It was a ton of work, but a lot of fun as well. There was a bit of reminiscing while I wrote this and went through my rather vast CD collection. I was surprised to find a rather minimal number of artists in the letter O. Ol’ q-ball - Sinead O’Connor didn’t make the final cut, that I assure you. Of course my list is much shorter than Ron’s (and much of it more obscure I think). Nonetheless here’s my list: Aztec Camera - Stray _________________________ The Beatles – Rocky Raccoon Barenaked Ladies - If I had a million dollars _________________________ The Call – I Still Believe, The Walls Came Down Counting Crows - Cold December Crowded House – Fall at your feet Marshall Crenshaw - Some Hearts, Valerie Casting Crowns - Voice of Truth _________________________ delirious? (Yes, that ? is part of the name) - Deeper DEVO – Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? a: WE ARE DEVO!, Girl U want _________________________ John Elefante (former Kansas frontman gone solo) - Corridors _________________________ Five for Fighting (If you know their name comes from a penalty in hockey – five minutes for fighting - you had to know I would include them) – Superman, 100 years _________________________ Goo Goo Dolls - Slide _________________________ Hooters, The - All you Zombies _________________________ Natalie Imbruglia - Torn _________________________ Jars of Clay - Revolution, Flood Howard Jones - What is Love? _________________________ Scott Krippayne – Long Before the Sun Kutless - Sea of Faces _________________________ Lyle Lovett - She’s leaving me because she really wants to, I think I know what I mean Lifehouse – Hanging by a Moment _________________________ Aimee Mann - Cigarettes and Red Vines Taylor Mesplé – Victory Land - Answer Your Own Question, Go Somewhere Edwin McCain - I’ll Be _________________________ Newsboys - Breakfast Bebo Norman – Falling Down _________________________ Outfield, The - Your Love _________________________ The Police - Murder by Numbers, Can’t Stand Losing You _________________________ Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love _________________________ Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way _________________________ Sonia Dada - You Don’t Treat Me No Good Switchfoot - This Is Your Life, Meant to live Mark Schultz – Stories and Songs - Letters from War Brian Setzer Orchestra – Rumble in Brighton _________________________ Toad the Wet Sprocket - All I Want, Walk on the Ocean Third Matinee (a.k.a.
