99 Songs Everyone Should Have On Their iPods

One reader asked me what kind of music I like to listen to. What a fun question! I have an open mind when it comes to music. I like almost everything, except for screamo and techno. When I'm at the club or the bar and pop or hip hop comes on, awesome. When I'm in a tired mood and want to work on my writing, I listen to calming music. Then there is the odd mood I have where I'll listen to Celtic music, as in Maritime and Irish music. When I'm hanging out around the house, I like to listen to country music. And thanks to the Americans who own the cottage beside my house who like to turn their music up louder than the average person, I have to admit that I even enjoy classical music. 
My favourite artists consist of City and Colour, Counting Crows, Adele, and so on. Lately I've especially been getting into Great Big Sea and The Pogues, which is probably because I'm a huge fan of the movie P.S I Love You and am moving to Nova Scotia in about four and a half months. I thought I'd share some songs that are on my "Most Played" playlist from my iPod. No matter what genre you prefer, I promise that you'll find something that pleases your ear. Enjoy!
