the soundtrack of my dreams?

i told my friend, stephen, a few weeks ago that we should make life soundtracks for ourselves and then switch with other people. we would compose a cd with all of our favorite/life altering songs that reflect our lives. i actually had to do this as a project for some humanaties class when i was in high school and i had a lot of fun doing it. it takes a bit of time...especially if you explain why each song is deemed worthy of being added to your life's soundtrack. but it results in tons of fun. so i was thinking earlier when asked about my favorite music, what songs would make my cd. this isn't a definite list, but here's what i've come up with so far. i have 3 separate cds.

CD#1 christian

come thou fount
spring of life- ginny owens
abba father- shaun groves
larue-always be
derek webb- wedding dress
caedmon's call- valleys fill first
joel engle- nothing left of me
relient k- getting into you
jars of clay- faith like a child

CD #2 oldies but goodies
you can't hurry love- diana ross and the supremes
son of a preacher man- dusty springfield
mrs. brown you've got a lovely daughter- herman's hermits
me and my bobby mcgee- janis joplin
abc- jackson 5
leader of the pack-shangri-las
i've got you babe-sonny and cher

CD #3 true to my heart
true colors- cyndi lauper
raining in baltimore-counting crows
don't hate me-the get up kids
wishing heart-lisa loeb
man in the mirror- michael jackson
undone (the sweater song)- weezer
those were the days of our lives- queen
night swimming-REM
1979-smashing pumpkins
your winter-sister hazel

hmm...i'm sure there's many more songs that i would love to add, but right now...i'll leave my list as incomplete.
