Ok, so define yourself through your sound. If there were a soundtrack playing through the various moods and occasions of your life, what would the tracks on it be?

Screaming.

Really. That was the first and only thing that came to mind

 

[scheherazade_79]

Writing:Something that I can forget I’m listening to. Preferably nothing at all. Anything with lyrics or a driving rhythm is out of the question. I can ‘tune out’ to some classical music, but at the end of the day my preference is nothing. I can’t multi-task. Music takes me to places that are often different from the world I’m creating.
At the top of your game and you know it: Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
In full-on party mode:Underworld – Born Slippy
Feeling rebellious:Anything by GLC
In the process of realising that being single is quite good fun:Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

Driving at speed:Chicane feat. Tom Jones – Stoned in Love
Stuck in traffic:Gladys Knight and the Pips – If I Were Your Woman

Getting laid:Sneaker Pimps – Six Underground
Spirit is crushed:Nothing. I can reach a point where I go off music, and that’s never good.
About to sleep:Neptune from Holst’s Planets.

I'd take a stab at this, but I fear they'd all end up being the same song.

How many Hoobastank songs can you list anyways?

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

In love: "Something tells me I'm into something good," Herman's Hermits.

(It's been a long time.)

Three. And you're not allowed to use the same song for everything - unless you're autistic.

Come on!

Nuts. Ok ok, I'll give it a try.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Oh Goddess . . . I need time!
