4,587 Songs on My Itunes.
It's easy for people to be asked their favorite music/bands and for them to immediately list off whatever bands they think suit their persona, or whatever their current band of the week is. Maybe you really do like those bands, but there are a whole lot more that you aren't telling us about.
There is music lurking on your mp3 player that you know you jam to, sing, dance to when no one is around to hear it and maybe even when they are.
The Shuffle Challenge:
Set your player to shuffle whether it be on your mp3 player or computer and list the first 100 (YES A HUNDRED) songs that come up without skipping any because you might be embarassed or think it's silly.
Why so many? Because it gives a good chance of delving into all the types of music you really enjoy whereas 5-10 would just scratch the surface. If something ridiculous comes on and you feel like you have to explain it, go ahead. We're not judging you. Ready GO!
