Of Life And Music. The Motley Kid's A to Z Music List!!!

Jun 18 '05 (Updated Jul 06 '06)    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line Just a few of my favorite artists and songs, arranged alphabetically for your reading pleasure.

This has been my favourite write off yet!!! I’ve often thought about making a list of some of the music I like, but it never sounded like much fun…well I was wrong, it is a very enjoyable experience making an A-2- Z list of favourite artists/songs. It was great to remember some of the songs that have meant something to me, because I haven’t listened to some of these songs in quite awhile, but writing this is definitely going to motivate me to do so.

Now, I should explain, this is only a brief list of my favourite artists, there are many more I just plain forgot about, so if you’re interested, check back every now and again, because I’ll be sure to update regularly. I would like to thank the man behind this write off, JAGUARDOG (even though you borrowed the idea, hehe), he is definitely a great asset to the music community of Epinions.com (an advisor hat in music is overdue!!).

So without further delay, The Motley Kid’s A-2-Z of Musical artists!!! Oh before we start, if you want to join in on the fun (please do, it is a lot more fun then you’d think), leave JAG a comment with the link to your entry here… Now on with the show!!!
