Get Outside Your Head

Do you ever feel an urge to listen to music that doesn't make you think?  You know, the kind of stuff that just flows around you and in one ear and out the other without disrupting what's in between?  Obviously, I prefer my music profound.  I like for it to really have an effect on me one way or the other.  But every so often, I like to just jam and not think about anything in particular.  Everybody needs that once in a while.  Personally, I find that "popular music" is good for this kind of listening.  Not to say none of it has any deep meaning but, well, you know what I mean.  So here are a few I can think of that are just fun to listen to, whether they're great songs or not is debatable, but at the very least they have entertainment value and that's definitely something.  These are in no order whatsoever (okay, okay, they're alphabetical by artist).

Pretty much anything by AC/DC

It was hard to pick just one AC/DC song - but this one rocks and makes me giggle - win win!

Given the majority of the content on this blog, some of these selections might surprise you.  Trust me, if you had ever been subjected to my play lists on a long road trip (or a short one) you would not be shocked at all.
