A few theme songs from TV shows or movies, a sprinkle of bagpipe songs, and handfuls of jazz infuse this playlist and can be listened to intensively or just something to put on and not think about.

This playlist is very new and was inspired by randomness in my head. It wasn't any particular song that prompted this playlist, the idea just came into my head from nowhere. As with all other playlists, I'm open to adding new songs that fit in.

Country? (sample)

"All I Want To Do" - Sugarland Love On the Inside
"All We'd Ever Need" - Lady Antebellum Lady Antebellum
"Backwards" - Rascal Flatts Me and My Gang
"Evangeline" - Little Big Town A Place To Land (Deluxe Edition)
"Fascination" - The Greencards Fascination

A few of my playlists are samples, which are just reminders to myself if I ever feel like listening to music by similar sounding artists. For example, here we have a playlist of artists that are classified as country, but also have rock and pop infused into their sound. I have loads of music by the five artists listed above, so to make a playlist that is hundreds of songs is just ridiculous.

There are a few more 'sample' playlists like this one, so keep your eyes open for them in the future. Cowboy up!

Colorado

"Colorado (alternative version)" - The Morrison Brothers The Morrison Brothers
"Colorado" - The Rentals REIGoPlaylist.com
"Colorado" -Stephen Stills Manassas
"Rocky Mountain Way" -Joe Walsh Classic Rock Gold [Disc 1]
"Rocky Mountain High" -John Denver Rocky Mountian High
"Where the Columbines Grow" - Melanie Melanie's Melodies of the Rockies
"Bye-Bye Mile High" - 106.7 KBPI 106.7 KBPI, Bye-Bye Mile High
"I-25 North" - CCU Mainstream Jazz An Evening of Jazz
"Colorado" - The Morrison Brothers The Morrison Brothers

Another very short playlist, but one should always have a playlist dedicated to their state. To quote The Morrison Brothers, "Great place to spend all your time . . . where the skies are always blue and the weather's always fine."

Coffee

"Afternoons and Coffeespoons" - Crash Test Dummies God Shuffled His Feet
"Coffee & Tea" - Josh Allan All the Acoustic Pop You Can Drink
"Coffee Mornin'" - Duke Ellington Member's Edition
"Coffee Shop" - Red Hot Chili Peppers One Hot Minute

"The Coffee Song" - Jars of Clay Front Yard Luge
"Expresso 2222" - Gilberto Gil Putumayo Kids Presents: Brazilian Playground
"Folgers Coffee Commercial" - Rockapella Don't Tell Me You Do
"Free Coffee" - Ben Folds Way To Normal
"Smellin' Coffee" - Chris Rice Short Term Memories
"Two Beds and a Coffee Machine" - Savage Garden Affirmation
"Wake Up and Smell the Coffee" - The Cranberries Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

While one of my shorter playlist, Coffee was the very first one. I love the stuff and I can't get ever get enough of it. I guess you could say its one of my very few weaknesses. While I don't really like Folger's and I don't drink coffee in the afternoons and I'm not a tea guy, these songs speak to the one caffeinated beverage that no matter where in the world one is, there it can be found. I'll have a large skinny mocha with extra whip cream steamed to 140 degrees with whole milk, half a shot of expresso, an extra shot of sugar free raspberry vanilla syrup, and sprinkles and maybe a cherry on top, PLEASE! Great quotes on coffee are found here.

After looking through many of my songs I discovered that some of them have numbers in the titles, so I went ahead and made a playlist with songs with numbers in their titles. There is no common theme, just #'s. I'm sure the Count von Count from Sesame Street would have loved this playlist!
