The instructions are simple: choose your eleven favorite musical artists, then your favorite song by each, and provide a link (YouTube if possible) so the world can share in the cr\u00c3\u00a8me de la cr\u00c3\u00a8me of your musical tastes. This list is probably different than your eleven favorite songs, which is why you choose the artists first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

George<\/a> created this meme. Lorenia<\/a> made the very good point that she doesn’t have 11 favorite bands or artists…and neither do I. Andrew<\/a> outdid us all by using his fancy design skills to do the meme. Ezra’s<\/a> list surprised me as I had no idea what kind of music he liked. I usually don’t do internet memes on my blog, but this one was fun and I got some interesting insight on my friends’ music choices through it. Go ahead and try it…you’ll see how much of a challenge it is.<\/p>\n

I have organized them in descending order, and if you click on the image, you can listen to the song. And while the choices here are mostly very laid back, relaxing songs, I do like to dance and listen to happy, bouncy music. It just so happens that the music that I listen to on a regular basis is…quieter. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
