Music that Changed You...

[Wolf Kanno]

Lord how could I forget David! "Ashes to Ashes", "Space Oddity", "Lady Stardust", and of course all the music from the movie Labyrinth.

Cat People's soundtrack is awesome too. The title song rocks

Billy Joel is cool but isn't Piano Man better by Elton John ? (EJ is another good oldie).

PS: PP Greenday music is great but it makes me sad so I avoid it.

Don't forget "Life on Mars" was a good Bowie track. I love his Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album personally. But I love most of his music.

I don't think I've ever heard EJ's cover of Piano Man... Elton's pretty good too but Billy is closer to my heart cause he was my first intro into music that wasn't old country and church hymns.

First it was Pink Floyd, which broke me away from the nu rock crap I was listening to when I was 13 or so. Then the Beatles, which started me on the road to hippiedom.

It was then I started listening to Simon and Garfunkel. I thought they were great at first, then I listened to their song "America" and it was like something inside me clicked. Suddenly, I would get this overwhelming desire to just drop everything and travel across the country, seeing things, finding myself, all that.

God I love Simon and Garfunkle, "Kathy's Song", "Flowers Never Bend in the Rainfall", "The Boxer", and who could ever forget "America"

"Kathy I'm lost" I said,
Though I knew she was sleeping,
"I'm empty and aching,
and I don't know why..."

Counting the cars off the New Jersey turnpike
They all've come,
to look for America...
