I stole this from Kristina

OK, so Kristina had this great idea on her blog where you post the first line of the first random 15 songs to play on your MP3 player, and see who can be the first to name the songs--no googling the lyrics allowed. I know my taste in music is not exactly in the mainstream nor caught up with the times, so this should be interesting. I'll italicize these when people get them...assuming someone besides Colin and Jen are reading, anyways...

1. "Another Friday night with contraband, waiting for my plane to land"
(yeah, that's probably pretty obscure)

2. "Chill out, what'cha yellin' for, lay back, it's all been done before."
(Ooh, an easy one)
Kristina picks this one off like the sniper she is. Avril Lavigne-Complicated


3. "Well I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker."
(Too easy!)
Kristina with two! Matchbox-20 - Real World

4. "Can you feel I'm not like you anymore? I can't see, I can't breathe."
Nicole gets this one. Godsmack - Bad Religion

5. "I've paid my dues time after time, I've done my sentence, but committed no crime."
The only classic rock song on the list, picked off by Kristina. Queen - We are the Champions

6. "The main attraction distraction, got you number than number than numb."
Nicole strikes again! RATM - No Shelter. Not one of RATM's lead tracks, I'm impressed.

7. "Memories consume like opening the wounds, I'm picking me apart again."
(Maybe I'm more mainstream than I'm giving myself credit for?)
Nicole gets three: Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit

8. "Cybererotic head explode, information overload, and I just can't take anymore."

9. "Tell me another story, tell me another story, everyone has stories, they bore me, they bore me..."

10. "So, I'm nothing, you took something from me, now you've disappeared."

11. "New York, 3 o'clock at night, no sleep, God I must be tired."
(Good luck with that one)

12. "Of late it's harder just to go outside, to leave this deadspace with hatred so alive."

13. "Question me about my bruises? He's the one who wins and I'm the one who always loses."
(This surprisingly talented band broke up before "making it." Good luck.)

14. "There's this little girl and I think she's so fine, And I'm not giving up until she is mine."
(speaking of not removing the embarrassing ones...lol)
Kyle strikes down Mest - What's the Dilio?

15. "Shake your body like me girl, Shake it all the time"
(This one used to drive my old roommate nuts...)

I think you're definitely more mainstream than you give yourself credit for.
4 - Bad Religion, Godsmack
6 - No Shelter, RATM
7 - Breaking the Habit, Linkin Park
Or maybe I just got all the easy ones. :)

I thought 7 was pretty easy, but "no shelter" is pretty obscure for RATM. =)

Sorry this took so long, but

#2: Avril Lavigne - Complicated
#3: Matchbox 20 - Real World
and then, c'MON! #5: Queen - We are the Champions!

I'm not so sure about the others, we'll see. :-)
