Six Songs

I thought this was interesting--what six songs are you? 

The British publication has launched "Six Songs of Me," a project to map as many personal playlists as possible.

They've set up a special site (fueled by Spotify) where you can pick your most meaningful songs in six categories. They're hoping to gather enough data, Clarke says, to "help us think more fruitfully about the 'big questions' that lie behind the sounds of our lives."

So what would my answers be? I really would have to think some more...a few early thoughts, without peeking at any other answers:

• What was the first song you ever bought? Maybe Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation...not sure
• What song always gets you dancing? "Only the Good Die Young" or "Come on Eileen"...yep, cliches
• What song takes you back to your childhood? Anything by Madonna or Michael Jackson
• What is your perfect love song? The Cure's Mint Car
• What song would you want at your funeral? Carol King..."Now and Forever"
• Time for an encore. One last song that makes you, you. 10,000 Maniac's "These Are Days" or U2's "Walk On"
