Aly, I'm amazed that someone born in 1989 would even know these songs, much less consider them faves!

I'll have to give this list some thought. I'm apparently from the era of the original two posters but maybe I can think of something less than 30 years old,lol!

Ok, here's a few maybe less than obvious ones, including a few that any trans person should be able to relate to.

In no particular order..

!. You can't always get what you want- Rolling Stones (the name says it all)

2. Angie- Stones again (heart break and longing)

3. Wish you were Here- Pink Floyd (two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year)

4. Lola- The Kinks (Duh!...Girls will be boys and boys will will be girls)

5. Take a walk on the wild side- Lou Reed (Then he was a she, take a walk on the wild side)

6. Pancho and Lefty- Willie Nelson (livin' in your own world, and who among us doesn't)

7. More than I can Do- Steve Earle (my favorite Stalker song... Just because you won't unlock your door doesn't mean you don't love me)

8. The Road goes on Forever and the Party Never ends- Robert Earle Keen (Sonny was a loner...Sherry got the Benz)

9. Mr. Bojangles- Dirt Band (Knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you with worn out shoes..talked of life...)

10. Triad- Jefferson Airplane (You want to know, how it will be... You are afraid, embarrassed too)

11. All Good Things come to an End- Nellie Furtado (childlike, poignant,)

12. Graceland- Paul Simon (close to the perfect song...Mississippi Delta, shining like a National Guitar...Losing love is like a window in your heart...)

13. A Day in the Life- Beatles (somebody spoke and I went into a dream)

14. Uncle Johns Band- Grateful Dead (when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door)

!5. Maggie Mae- Rod Stewart (you lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone)

That was harder than I thought it would be...Left alot on the cutting room floor!

Aly, if there are any there you don't know, check'm out...I think you'll be glad you did.

Blackbird - The Beatles

White Lies - Stacy Clark

Never too Late - Three Days Grace

Lovefool - The Cardigans

Viva La Vida - Coldplay

Forget You - Cee Lo Green

Corner of the Earth - Jamiroquai

Runaway - Jamiroquai

Marianne, I just wanted to start by saying that I think it's pretty awesome that you have Yours Is No Disgrace on your list. But I'm going to have to lead off instead with...

Yes - Close to the Edge

Steely Dan - Doctor Wu

Trout Fishing In America - Eleven Easy Steps

Genesis - The Fountain of Salmacis

Frank Zappa - Blessed Relief

Steely Dan - Charlie Freak

Deerhoof - Numina O

The Cure - How Beautiful You Are

The Zombies - She's Not There

Kevin Gilbert - Goodness Gracious

As Tall As Lions - Ghost of York

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

Barenaked Ladies - When I Fall

Million Dead - Living the Dream

Oceansize - One Out of None

I'll be the first to admit that I probably didn't put enough thought into this list to consider it '15 songs I need to live', but I didn't want to be here for hours. So this is more a reflection of what I've been into lately, as well as a few songs that have stayed with me my entire life.

      Maybelline has an online app where you can upload an image or use your face real-time to try on makeup before you buy it.    I used the app on my teenage face and it works great.

      We love udon noodles here! Sometimes we have the skinny Singaporean ones, sometimes we have rice, but those fat buggers are simply devine! 😍
    • Lydia_R
      My Gen Z transwoman roommate and my Gen X drummer roommate and I made two wonderful stir fry in the traditional wok on the high power propane burner on the back deck.  We splurged both times and had udon noodles in them with brussel sprouts, pepper and onions with a peanut and sesame sauce.   Been having them with seasoned white rice lately too.  I've been enjoying putting dill in them with the toasted sesame oil, turmeric and white pepper.

      Good morning everyone,   It's grass cutting day here on our little corner lot. The sidewalk that goes along the south side of our house, leads to a city park so we get a ton of foot traffic on it. I keep the lawn mowed and the sidewalk edged for the best street appeal. Several in the neighborhood have said its the slowest part of the walk because they have to stop to look at the flowers or watch a bird at the feeder. All of the dogs know they have fun hugs coming from me if I'm in the yard, and the conversations with the neighbors also give their hearts a chance to reach a resting beat.   @April Marie while you're working on your tan, please don't forget sunscreen. @KymmieLgood luck with the job search, it's so stressful to be the punching bag at work. @WillowI've never sold a car to a friend or someone I knew. Buyer beware, sold as is.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mirrabooka
      We pulled a leftover beef stir-fry out of the freezer. With Asian greens, noodles, cashews, all in a honey/sesame sauce.
    • Mirrabooka
      Oh @April Marie, sssstop it!!! 😍

      Whether it is Sunday or not - may I ask, how long does the whole process take?    My every-morning basic 'beauty routine' - shave face/wash/hair/other grooming already takes over 10 minutes. My wife is basically beating down the door, lol!

      We did pretty well for almost 40 years.   But by then we were kinda moving in different directions spiritually and on some other things.  I might have moved the most significantly.  I think my trans woman was trying to assert herself, although it still took a little more time for the egg to crack.     I was the one who moved out (although we had been sleeping in separate rooms for about a year).  I was satisfied to just be separated, but after a bit she filed for divorce.  I didn't contest it - our kids were all adults by then.  She remarried, I haven't.  Now her husband has died and she is back in this area.   Yeah, we are still friends, but sometimes it's hard for me if I've been around her.  I do miss her.  She uses my now name and gender for me.   I am lonely.  I think I could remarry, maybe, if I found the right person, but I don't see much chance of that.  I'm in my 70's, this is a pretty conservative area, and I am a transgender woman.  So this is how it is - at least for me.

      That is am what I planning on. Take the defensive driving class after the conviction and all goes away aside from the fine I pay. My vehicle is a commercial vehicle (10,000+ pound diesel pickup truck with commercial plates), but since I exclusively use it for personal use so I do not need or have a CDL.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      Hi Heather, thank you for the welcome 
    • Lydia_R
      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer
