But music for driving is a must! I've found a couple of songs by Lady Gaga that I like, Lady Antebellum, Kelly Clarkson, Katie Perry. I need energizing. For relaxing, it's definitely the old (old) favorites by Sinatra and Mel Torme, and renditions by Michael Buble.<br />I have a station that plays 70s and 80s songs permanently glued on the radio in my car, because these are ones I can sing along to.<br />Nice to find another Dirty Dancing and Footloose fan!noelle44https://www.blogger.com/profile/00333648063604618407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-81725197300555578102015-03-06T08:09:05.707-05:002015-03-06T08:09:05.707-05:00I remember when I was one of those "young peo...I remember when I was one of those "young people."

I still listen to my 70's music, but I also listen to a lot of different things. I mostly listen to Pandora.com at work. If you're not on it, it's free, and you create your own "channels." Pick a pop channel to see what the young people are listening to. I'm getting used to a lot of it by now, but if you don't like it you just hit the thumbs down button and it'll give you something else.

I probably grew up in the same times as you because I was all into mixed tapes etc. I like Pandora because you can not only create your own stations but new artists are also introduced that fit into your tastes and you can read their bios and the lyrics if you are so inclined. I hear Spotify is even better. It's installed on my computer but I haven't tried it yet. For the moment, Pandora is good enough for me.Stephanie Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733161052986125051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-12674333604841816552015-03-05T08:29:20.227-05:002015-03-05T08:29:20.227-05:00I think there's a lot of us hanging around the...I think there's a lot of us hanging around the blogosphere. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-31632324092696724512015-03-05T08:28:53.292-05:002015-03-05T08:28:53.292-05:00All this talk about the Dirty Dancing soundtrack m...All this talk about the Dirty Dancing soundtrack makes me want to listen to it again. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-33780451692527841542015-03-05T08:28:19.777-05:002015-03-05T08:28:19.777-05:00I hear you about being "super anti-change.&qu...I hear you about being "super anti-change." :)<br /><br />I'm making a note of that station - sounds like something I might like.

That morphed into listening to youtube and then FINALLY I tried Pandora. I'm super anti-change, so it took a while, but I've discovered TONS of new artists that I absolutely love and wouldn't have found otherwise. Typically I listen to Iron & Wine's station because it's very folky, soft sounding, lullaby-type music. No Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. I don't find those inspirational at all. I would definitely check out Pandora, though.
