While I'm writing, I am also going to do another music on my iPod meme! Sort of!

So, this time I'm going to tell you the first 10 songs that played that ALSO have a 5-star rating. A bit self-serving because I am trying to get all iPod music rated, to make it easier to purge music if I need room for audiobooks and podcasts.





^ Love this mix so much. Though it always ends up making me want to play all the Gaga songs it samples, since they are pretty much all my favourites.



^ I do love some good classical music and it doesn't get better than Beethoven. I love how this one just keeps building.



^ I feel in love with this song years ago, when there was a commercial that used the lyrics. I can't even remember what the commercial was for and I can't find it on the Internet either, but it was fun. This song is also fun.



^ Imogen Heap is another artist that has a lot of songs on my iPod. I should probably pick up more of her CDs because I really do adore her. Speak for Yourself is one of my current car CDs, along with Lana Del Rey's Born to Die: The Paradise Edition and Barbra Lica's Kissing You (she's a family friend who is an awesome jazz singer, here's the music video for one of her latest songs if anyone is interesting).



^ I first came across this one in an AMV for X-TV and I have loved it ever since. I have a whole Enigma album but I sadly don't like the rest of it nearly as much as this one song.



^ Oh Into the Woods. I love both of these songs separately, so them being together on the same track is excellent. So much great character moments, especially for the Witch.



^ Imaginaerum is definitely my favourite Nightwish album, at least of that ones I've heard. I just think it's a great musical experience. And this is my favourite song on it. I need to pick up the other CD made with this vocalist, I'm very sad she left because I like how I can actually understand what she's saying, unlike the original vocalist.



^ It's amazing that a few years ago I had never heard this song. I remember Margaret picked it as a song to record a parody for in the JC House Cup (a Harry Potter-based fan competition) and it was the hardest thing to do because I just didn't know the song at all.

It would be much easier now.



^ So, I couldn't find a version on Youtube of the complete song, which is 3:40, but this is at least a longer cut. And since I discovered this song because of Passions, my first real fandom, this feels appropriate.

Also, Shuis forever.



^ I heard this song on the radio and fell in love. It's moment like that which make me very happy for the iTunes model, since I haven't heard anything else from KONGOS so I don't know if I would actually want a whole album of them.



That was actually pretty damn representational of my musical tastes. Awesome.
