HELP!

Because I gave up a week of my vacation to teach English Camp...I figure I deserved to use the money on myself and not responsibly. So...I am now officially an IPod owner.

Now...I really don't have much of a music collection. In fact, I am clueless when it comes to music--this is not an exaggeration. I listen to music and love to have it playing...I just normally don't know what I am listening to. I even know what I like...I just don't know the names of the bands. Yes. Pathetic. I know.

Anyhow, I grew up in a home where only Christian music was played. While this is not a bad thing...I am just clueless when it comes to secular music. There is some good stuff out there.

If you were to suggest a band or song for me tocheck out...what would it be?
Christian or secular.
*Note: If the song is about sex or has curse words in it...I would rather not listen to it...even if it does have a good beat.

You should go ahead and download itunes and start putting all your music in it so when your ipod comes its rewady to go.

I have already downloaded itunes and have about a forth of my collection in there...well, a fourth of my non-Christmas music at least. I did not realize how much Christmas music I have.

I only knew to do this because Alicia had already advised me about this over the weekend!

Thanks for the music list...I will have to check it out.

You have given me two John Mayer CD's and a Christmas John Legend CD...so I know I like both of them.

And I have some Reliant K as well...but only one CD. They are good.

Knowing me...I will probably recognize some of the others when I hear their music...I just don't recognize them now!

Thanks
