This utterly pointless post brought to you by three days straight of ripping CDs and sorting out my MP3 library after a hard drive crash meant I had to restore it from multiple incompatible backups. Proper post soon.
You’re missing Joan Jett’s love of Rock ‘N Roll! I also like Donovan’s love of his shirt.
Of course I had to look at my own, and found that our music collections love very different things.

America – Alice Cooper
Being a Turtle – Klaus Bedalt
Creedence – Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

And of course, Queen are In Love With My Car
I have a larger collection of things that are hated:
Everybody (but you) – Slash’s Snakepit
Everyone – Get Set Go
Everything About You – Three Days Grace
Myself For Losing You – Kelly Clarkson

Ha, I forgot about that VeggieTales song….a favorite amongst my friends when we were in high school.
