Favorite Music Eurythmics, U2, Nickelback (if they're not spouting about women on their knees), Train (when they're not being boppy), Mary Bilge, James Blunt (when I can forget every interview I've ever seen him in), Hunters and Collectors, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes (before he found Christianity), Oasis (before they found sobriety), every one hit wonder whose lyrics were impressively morose, including but not limited to Sandi Thorn, Coldplay (when I forget the Gwyneth Paltrow connection and the child known as Apple) and Two Doors Down... the list could go on and on and I should mention I am tone deaf.
