This was an interesting and fun little exercise...what music matters most to me? What songs best describe certain landmark moments? This list took me forever because I had to cut so many songs and try really hard not to repeat artists, because as much as I wanted to include multiple songs from certain bands - Nada Surf, for example - I wanted to best represent the array of music that I listen to. I'd say compared to some people, the list of artists I listen to regularly is small. Some of these songs I haven't listened to in years, but they were a big part of my life at some point and were worth including. So here it is, my life as a soundtrack! Try it for yourself and see what you come up with!

You did it...a soundtrack for your life! And i think is quite consistent. Perhaps the only one who i miss, knowing of you, is Bob Marley..umm...is this love, perhaps? Well, i don´t know. Anyway, it´s quite impresive for me. I think i wouldn´t be able to do an only soundtrack for my life. I feel i will need more than a soundtrack..and perhaps more than a lifetime :)... but this is another story. Thank you for sharing it, i hope i will listen to your soundtrack, the old themes and the new ones who are about to come ;) Ciao
