2009: This Ain't No Fashion Show -- The Subtle Way
2009 wasn't the greatest year for music in my opinion. It wasn't until the end of 2009 something was released that really caught my attention. The main reason I love this song so much is that I got to hear it in every stage of production, starting with the rough thirty second sound bite (titled "Stewie" after the character in Family Guy) that the band had before they went to Seattle to record with my favorite producer, Casey Bates, who helped to create the perfected CD version. My boyfriend showed me the sound bite one day when we were driving through LA by hooking up his iPod to his car speakers. The next version I heard about a month or two later when his friend Jamie opened a folder of the music on my macbook sent to him by Casey Bates over email. The final version i heard at a party I went to in November where Jamie came in with the actual CD ready to show it off.

1979: Don't Stop Me Now -- Queen
I have yet to meet a person who doesn't like Queen. Whenever I'm out hanging with friends and having a good time, we'll put this on and sing to our hearts content. It's the ultimate feel good song, as Queen is the ultimate feel good band. My dad introduced me to the band when I was very little by playing his Queen records and dancing with me. When I was a fifth grader and my dad bought a truck which had a CD player in it, he bought the full Queen CD collection and played this song.
