What I Would Have Played – February 21, 2012 – The Ode to the Soundtrack
Movie soundtracks are seemingly a concept as old as the hills. We all have our favorite films and our reasons for remembering those films, but music plays a huge role in our enjoyment of our favorite movies. There was no better time for soundtracks than the 80s, and today, we pay homage to some of the more essential soundtrack tunes from 1980s films!
What I Would Have Played – Grammys != Great Music – February 14, 2012
Twitter was almost literally ablaze on Sunday with comments about the Grammys. It seems as though people have taken to associating these awards with great music. This could not be more patently false, and today’s list is proof. Today, we present some of the best artists to never win a Grammy!

A lot of lists have some kind of inspiration. This one is not so divinely inspired. This is simply a group of songs about moving around. Enjoy. 
What I Would Have Played – February 7, 2012 (Life on the Road and the Music Business)
Music is full of “story songs” – songs about life, love, partying, heartbreak and so much more.

What I Would Have Played – Strictly Seger
When coming up with these lists, I tend to think of some clever theme. This has no such clever theme. I simply heard three Seger songs in the span of about 20 minutes, and thought to go with it. Bob Seger is a man with a tremendously diverse catalog, and I could never do it justice in six simple songs, but here’s a try. (Ed. note: I’m going to try to avoid some of the more obvious Seger songs, such as “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” or “Old Time Rock & Roll”, though one may slip in as a part of what I heard during that Seger run.)
