There was a time in the not so distant past that Erin and I collaborated on playlists and shared them with you guys. The series is now defunct but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to resurrect it, even if temporarily, for this month’s installment of Add It To My List with Lauren and Bre.
I tried to think of a cohesive theme like that one time I put together a not at all complete list of songs that make me happy or significant songs but I couldn’t come up with one so this list is just a sampling of the songs that are currently in heavy rotation in my Spotify queue. Some are older songs, some are newer songs, all are rock songs, Rush and Shinedown definitely make an appearance, and one might surprise you. In any event, these are all songs I currently love and think you should add to your playlists.
Highway by Bleeker. Catchy as hell and an excellent driving song. I spend a lot of time in my car. Good driving songs are essential.
Put Your Money on Me by The Struts. I cannot get enough of this band. All their songs are fun and I’d really like to see them live.
Promise by Eve 6. I had forgotten about this one until it came up on my Daily Mix and now I literally listen to it daily.
Song #3 by Stone Sour. I’m not a gigantic Stone Sour fan but I am obsessed with this one. Seeing them perform it live last summer helps.
Long Live Rock & Roll by Daughtry. Admittedly, this is not a great song by the actual definition of great song. But it pays homage to a lot of music that’s important and meaningful to me and like Highway, it’s good for the car.
Sound of Madness by Shinedown. It is IMPOSSIBLE to pick just one Shinedown song because you know, they’re my favorite, but in the interest of space and time I’m using this one because it’s my ringtone. Favorite lyric: I created the madness, wrote the book on pain, somehow I’m still here to explain*
Dreamline by Rush. With 40 years of music to pick from, it’s virtually impossible to choose which one I think you should add to your playlist. This is, however, the song that pushed over the line from casual fan and more than 20 years after I first heard it, it remains tied with Subdivisions as my all-time favorite Rush song. And, fun fact, the chorus was my senior quote. Favorite lyric: Time is a gypsy caravan Steals away in the night To leave you stranded in Dreamland*
*only these two songs get favorite lyrics because I’m kind of lazy
Okay. What songs do you think I should add to my playlist?
I loved Eve 6 a lot when they were popular! I am the worst music recommender. I still mostly listen to things I liked in college. And Taylor Swift. I tried to avoid it, but I can’t. Thanks for linking up!

I can’t do Taylor. She bugs the shit out of me.
We have different tastes in music so I don’t think the songs in my rotation would fit your list. Most of the rock music I still listen to is from the late 80s/early 90s, like Bon Jovi, GNR and of course, I loved all their rock ballads. I will have to listen to these songs, though. You got me hooked on Ellie King.

Make no mistake, I am obsessed with hair bands so those are in heavy rotation but it’s nice to change it up sometimes.
Glad you enjoy Elle King!
Shinedown, Daughtry and Eve 6 make appearances on many of my playlists as well!
I love Shinedown. Eve6 has some great ones, too 🙂
I was always a big fan of your and Erin’s lists!

I only know a couple of these but will have a listen when I get home later today. Thanks for sharing Jana
I do love these type of posts. I keep thinking of doing playlist posts – not necessarily with themes either but just what I’m loving at the moment. You definitely need good driving songs!

I swear I listen to the same 100 songs all the time and have been for years.

PROMISE BY EVE 6! Aaaah, I loved that song so much. Here’s To The Night, too. Man, what a trip down memory lane.
