My "Lost" Soundtrack...

I don't watch a lot of television. I never really have. I sometimes cop a snobbish attitude about it, saying that I prefer books over television. That is the truth. But, my facade is quickly toppled when I confess that the programs I CANNOT miss are Will & Grace, Desperate Housewives, and American Idol. After such a disclosure, any attempts to put on a superior intellect are futile.

The show Lost is certainly not on my "must see" list. In fact, I have never seen more than an advertisement for the show, but I have often wondered what it would be like to be stranded on a deserted island. Pondering of this sort has resulted in the following question which I enjoy posing to anyone who will answer:

"If you were being sent into exile for a long time and could take with you only 7 CD's (in your current collection) and these would be the only music you could listen to for that period of time, what would they be?"

You can learn a lot about a person with that question. I'm sure you are making a mental list of your own right now. What music would comprise your personal Lost Soundtrack? Here is my soundtrack:

1. U2-- Joshua Tree
2. Carole King-- Tapestry
3. Amy Grant-- Lead Me On
4. Indigo Girls-- Nomads, Indians, and Saints
5. Sarah McLachlan-- Mirror Ball
6. Annie Lennox-- Bare
7. Coldplay-- A Rush of the Blood to the Head

Of course, my list changes every time I play the game. My musical tastes seem to be somewhat contingent on my mood at the time or the particular patterns of my life at any give moment. I often wonder what my selections say about me and am prepared to explain each in some philosophical manner. Lately, however, I find that I am content to let the music speak for itself... and I'm happy to just sing along!
