You know, I never do these meme things, but I’m trying like mad to avoid my work at work, and since I’ve already got my iPod stuck in my ears, I might as well.

For those who want to play along at home: Take your music player of choice, alphabetize the songs and post the first song for every letter.

A: “A Horse Named Bill” -Jerry Garcia & David Grisham
B: “Ba Bump” -Black Eyed Peas
C: “California Love” -2Pac
D: “Damaged” -Goldfinger
E: “E.I.” -Nelly
F: “Failure by Design” -Brand New
G: “Gangsta Party” -2Pac
H: “Hallelujah” -Gregorian
I: “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” -My Chemical Romance
J: “Jubilate” -Gregorian
K: “Karma Police” -Radiohead
L: “Last Resort” -Papa Roach
M: “Machinehead” -Bush
N: “Never Know” -Jack Johnson
O: “Ocean Size” -Goldfinger
P: “Pain” -Jimmy Eat World
Q: “Que Onda Guero” -Beck
R: “Rat-tat-tat-tat” -Dr. Dre
S: “Salve Maria” -Gregorian
T: “Take on Me” -MXPX
U: “Uncomfortable” -Goldfinger
V: “Vermilion, Pt. 2″ -Slipknot
W: “Walk Away” -Goldfinger
X: “X & Y” -Coldplay
Y: “Yellow” -Coldplay
Z: “Zombie” -Cranberries

Jeez… several bands are seriously overrepresented by that list. The two 2Pac songs listed represent 100% of the 2Pac songs on my iPod. Goldfinger and Gregorian also have far too much representation, considering I have one CD of each loaded. Therefore, I offer the following list, taking the ~last~ letter for those who are too repetitive:

C: “Cum on Everybody” -Eminem
D: “Dum Diddly” -Black Eyed Peas
G: “Guilty Conscience” -Eminem
H: “Hysteria” -Muse
J: Umm… that’s my only J song. Hrm.
O: “Opus Magnus” -Gregorian (sigh…)
S: “Symphony” -I Am The Avalanche
U: “Up Jump Tha Boogie” -Snoop Doggy Dogg
W: “Without Me” -Eminem

There we go, that’s a more accurate representation. Now the list is pathetically Eminem-heavy, just like it is in real life. :)

I also feel I should point out I have nine songs which start with something other than a letter. They are: “‘94 Ho Draft,” “‘Till I Collapse,” “#1,” “#41,” “1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New),” “1812 Overture,” “24,” “45,” and “99 Red Balloons.” I felt they deserved to be represented also.
