5 songs that mention sex and/or drugs
1. "Dr. Feelgood" Motley Crue
This song is very drug oriented because it's about a drug dealer and drug dealing. I love this song because of the music. It's really fast paced and makes you just want to rock out. I've seen this band live and I love when they play this song. It's one of their most famous and most popular.

2. "Mr. Brownstone" Guns N' Roses
I also love this song because of the music. The song is about being addicted to heroin and the effects of the addiction. The music is very original as are the lyrics. Axl Rose's voice is so very unique which is part of the reason I love this band.

3. "Like a Virgin" Madonna
This song mentions, refers to, and is about sex. I like this song, but I wouldn't say I love it. Madonna is an entertaining performer and I like some of her songs. I like this song because of the beat and the lyrics are catchy and make you want so sing along.

4."Piece of your Action" Motley Crue
This song is all about sex with a rockers attitude. The Crue is notorious for songs about sex, drugs, and rock n roll. I love this song and have it on my ipod. It's not very well known, as it's off their first album, but I love the high pitched vocals in the song along with the music. The lyrics are also well written and I love the ending of the song.

5. "Rock Star" by Nickelback
I love this song! I've seen them play this song in concert and It's very catchy and true when it comes to rock stars. It mentions drugs and sex throughout the song. The music is very intriguing and entertaining. The lyrics are also funny at times, but truthful when it comes to the stereotypes of rock stars. Once again I love this song and I could listen to it over and over again.

Music Memories #1
My taste in music has changed as I've gotten older. I have matured and so have my interests. When I was five years old, I liked juvenile music. For example, I watched Barney and Blues Clues, therefore I enjoyed that type of music. I enjoyed the musical sounds of the songs and the fact that I could laugh, dance, and sing along while watching the shows. Thankfully my tastes have changed. I moved on from this music as I got older and I started to enjoy pop music. When I was around ten to twelve years old, I became fascinated with the Disney Channel and shows like Lizzie McGuire. So, when Hillary Duff became a singer, I was hooked on her music. Her songs were things I could relate to and enjoy as they were simple. I also listened to Avril Lavigne and enjoyed the rocky edge of her music. As another five years passed and I was fifteen years old, my tastes then are pretty much the same as they are now. My parents grew up in the 80's around all the hair metal music and by them listeing to it and taking me to concerts, it has easily become my favorite music now. Even as I was younger I would listen to the bands such as Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses, but it wasn't my favorite music. Now I also enjoy current rock bands music, when I didn't before. In my opinion my taste in music changed dramatically when it comes to genre because I don't like the poppy music anymore. It's not even on my iPod. My relationship to the music has changed because the songs and artists I used to like, didn't write songs with meaning where my favorite artists now do. They write meaningful songs and they do so on their own with their original work. As I blog about this I laugh because I think about the music I used to like and how much it's changed. My taste in music has matured and changed from different genres from when I was five years old to now as it went from juvenile, to pop, to rock.

5 Songs that I hate/dislike
1. "Fairytale" Taylor Swift
I don't dislike Taylor Swift as a singer, but I just don't like this song. It maybe because it's a very slow song, but I just don't like the lyrics or the vocals. To me, her voice is annoying in this song and sometimes it doesn't even sound like she's singing.
http://youtu.be/s6Y0wf6dZ7U
2. "Look what the cat dragged in" Poison
I am a fan of Poison, I've seen them in concert with Motley Crue, but this is not one of my favorite songs. I don't like the lyrics and the music sounds similar to the music in some of their other songs.
http://youtu.be/mbzjSmVyLiw
3. "Rock N Roll all Night" Kiss
Although I am a classic rock fan, Kiss is not one of my favorite bands. There aren't many songs I like by them and I don't like this song. Despite the fact that it's a rock anthem, I don't like the vocals. I also don't like the fact that the lyrics are really repetitive throughout the song. I like songs with more variety when it comes to the lyrics. I don't like listening to the same verse over and over again.
http://youtu.be/AAt7YbX0T9k
4. "Alejandro" Lady Gaga
I listen to a few songs by Lady Gaga, but I really hate this song. I find the lyrics meaningless and kind of weird. She is a very unique person, and this song reflects that. This song isn't my favorite genre which I think also adds to the fact that I don't like it. It's also a long song and is repetitive.
http://youtu.be/niqrrmev4mA
5. "Baby One More Time" Britney Spears
When I was younger I heard this song all the time and saw the video a lot. I used to like it, but my taste in music has changed and now it's very irritating to me and I can't believe I used to listen to it. The lyrics aren't good, and when I listen to it now, I think Britney Spears voice is somewhat annoying.

MCom 72 Music List #1
5 of my favorite songs:
1. "Live Wire" by Motley Crue
"Live Wire was one of Motley Crue's first songs. It was on the "Too Fast For Love" album released in 1981. Motley Crue is my favorite band and this is one of my favorite songs because I love the vocals by Vince Neil and music behind him. The lyrics are catchy and the music is great because it makes you just want to move and sing along.
http://youtu.be/qiVC89V4RpM
2. "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses
This is an iconic metal song in my eyes from their first album "Appetite for Destruction" I love this song because of the music as it immediately catches your attention. The vocals are like nothing I have ever heard before which makes the song, and band very unique.
http://youtu.be/Fumj2SVsKbE
3."Far Away" by Nickelback
This song is a little different than my first and second choices, it is softer and slower, as it is a ballad, but I really like this band's music and this song. I just like the tone of it and the the vocals. Chad Kroeger has an edgy kind of voice which adds to the song and still makes it rock n roll when the music is a softer and slower than their other songs.
http://youtu.be/j4y-RzVGrHg
4."Home" by Daughtry
This song was released on Daughtry's debut album. It is also a ballad, but I just really love the message of the song. The lyrics are great and I love Chris Daughtry's voice.
http://youtu.be/7bnX-6sJZBw
5. "Enter Sandman" by Metallica
This song was released in the 80's and is pure metal. "Enter Sandman" is one of my favorite songs because of its music. The drums, bass, and guitar are so awesome and Metallica songs always make you just want to rock out while you headbang to the music and this song is no execption. James Hetfield's vocals really stand out to me in this song.
