Music Monday -- 1999

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.  

Year: 1999

Book: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Music Selections: Overall this year was really electic when it came to music.  I went to see Korn and Rob Zombie in concert, but I also listened to stuff like Sarah McLachlan.  I was all over the place musically!

1. Dixie Chicks “Ready to Run” — Most country I don’t like, but for some reason I really got into the Dixie Chicks.  I still listen to them every once in a while.
2. Lenny Kravitz “American Woman” — I can’t help but see Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell writhing around on a car for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.  Hee hee!
3. Sarah McLachlan “I Will Remember You” — Such a great song.  I can’t help but remember listening to this all the time.
4. Santana and Rob Thomas “Smooth” — Big hit of the summer.  The perfect summer song to sing along to.
5. The Offspring “The Kids aren’t Alright” — Love The Offspring.  Smash was one permanent rotation in my car throughout most of the year.  And then Americana was released and I had a whole new batch of songs.  Including this amazing anthem.  There’s one particular reference in here that reminds me of one of my ex-boyfriends.
