It’s that time again, the last Thursday of the month, the time that Jana and Erin bring you a playlist that usually has a theme with a twist. This month, we are talking about songs that may surprise you to find out we are fans.
If you ask either of us about our favorite music, we are going to tell you that we are rock chicks, rock ‘n’ roll fans through and through. Then, we come up with lists like this, and we realize that we actually have quite eclectic tastes, and we assume others should know this already.
But, let’s share ten songs that we love, and they may surprise you:
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis – (from Erin) – It’s pretty obvious that she is heavily influenced by Mariah Carey, and both Jana and I despise Mariah Carey music…but I like this song so much that it is on my work playlist, and I hear it probably four or five times a day.
Everyday by Buddy Holly – Actually, Jana said “(p)retty much anything by Buddy Holly. I fucking love him.” So, Everyday it is. He is considered a pioneer of rock’n’roll, so it may not be that surprising after all. But, 1950s rock is not exactly what you’d expect from us.
Lose Yourself by Eminem – Rap. Rap isn’t something you’d necessarily expect from us either, but damn, this is a solid song.
Ride Wit Me by Nelly – What? More rap? Some of these crossover rap songs make it into the pop charts because they are just too catchy to look past. Nelly figured that out with a number of his songs. Jana and Erin are guilty for falling for some of those catchy-pop ploys.
It may not surprise you for Erin to list a country song, after all, she’s from Texas. But, Long Island native/Delaware dwelling Jana naming a super-twang-infused country song? That should surprise you…
Here’s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) by Travis Tritt
Hollywood by Michael Buble – He’s cheesy, and his music is not at the top of most of our playlists. But, hey, we like what we like, and won’t feel guilty about it.
What songs would we be surprised that you love? Are you surprised by any of these??
Dude. We have AWESOME taste in music. And, thanks for introducing that Rixton song to me………..
I love that you girls have some rap selections! People are surprised when I tell them I like rap, not new rap but late 90’s early 2000’s rap.

I’m a fan of 80s rap. Late 90s stuff reminds me of college so the memories make me like it.
I love Bleeding Love and Without Me. I’m not surprised by any, I have really wide musical tastes and just assume most other people do too.

I definitely have eclectic taste.
This morning, a heard A Silent Film’s cover of Streets of Philadelphia and since it was Bruce, I thought of you.
I like Perfect! Not familiar with the others. I’m always asking my kids “who sings that !”
I do like The Weekend’s songs!
Happy Thursday. Grateful for no loss of power during the storms yesterday !
Love. Steph’s. Momma
The Weeknd has a great voice!
Love that Bleeding Love song, especially since one of my favorite performances on So You Think You Can Dance was to this song. Britney Spears is my guilty pleasure. And I’m always surprised by how much I like Taylor Swift songs.

I really can’t stand either one of them but every once in awhile, I’m caught off guard by how much I enjoy one of their songs.
i am definitely surprised at a few of these, namely the country one! lol. i remember hating guy sebastian when he was on idol, i have no idea why though. i didn’t know the show was no longer on, but i do like a few of guy’s songs now. haven’t heard that one!

The snarky title is what really draws me to it.
If you look at my Spotify account, you would think I have a multiple personality disorder. I love Leona Lewis, Eminem, Nelly and Britney Spears!!!

Same. Mine is the most random bunch of artists and songs that make sense to me but probably to no one else.
I like Buddy Holly. And some Britney Spears songs aren’t that bad. I can even take Eminem at times and I usually do not like rap.

Love the eclectic playlist! There was an awesome So You Think You Can Dance routine to “Bleeding Love,” so I’ve loved the song since then.

I love the mix that y’all have this month! Seriously though, nothing beats 2000’s hip hop! The Pandora station is awesome, and you should totally listen to it for some “classics” along the Nelly lines.

My shit is alllll over the place. I have intrumentals, Tupac, George Straight, Britney… it’s insanity and I love it.

hehe sounds like my playlist–a little bit of everything. i went to a travis tritt concert once in the 90s and i’m not even a country fan lol.

I love Lose Yourself. It’s like my Rocky anthem. 🙂 I am surprised by the boy band love because they definitely don’t seem like your type. My first concert was NYSNC, so I always understand when the girls go gaga over the latest iteration, even though some really annoy me. I am generally not a country music fan, but I listen to Lee Ann Womack’s I Hope You Dance when I’m feeling insecure about dreams and goals.
