Well, there ya go. It is a good thing there are no rules, because I have more than three in some groups. I simply couldn't choose! I guess it balances out, because in some categories I couldn't come up with enough. I'm sure I will probably think of some more at 3:00 in the morning though.

This was truly a walk down Memory Lane. I realize how incomplete my CD collection is - many of these songs I have not thought of in years. Now of course, I want to be able to play them on a regular and frequent basis.

Many thanks to Jaguardog for this great write off idea!
