QOTD: Favorite songs/artists
Sometimes a great tune can set the mood for a perfect day - or night! 
What artists or songs do you love?
Re: QOTD: Favorite songs/artists
* Ray LaMontagne - especially "Shout Out Loud," "You are the Best Thing," and "Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight"
* Zac Brown Band - we dance to their music in the kitchen at least a few times per week
DD's favorite!
* Hello Dave
* Pistol Annies - "Hell on Heels" (new love!)
* Elton John
* Cross Canadian Ragweed
* Michael Buble
And a little "nerd alert" story to go with this... As a young girl, I can remember one year desperately wanting a Floyd Cramer cassette tape after hearing his (piano) music on TV commercials... One of my favorite Christmas gifts that year
He's still in the mix on my iTunes and Spotify playlists!
Avett Brothers, Xavier Rudd, Raphael Saadiq, Michael Franti, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Brett Dennen, Regina Spektor, JJ Grey and Mofro, John Prine, Rusted Root
I could go on and on an on! HA! My favorite Pandora.com station is my "Avett Brothers" station---so many good songs!

Nerd alert right here!!! Anything 80's (especially like Skid Row, Micheal Jackson,Tesla, Madonna, Belinda Carlisle, The Bangles...). I have ITunes on the 80's channel every day at work and it takes me back to couples skating at the roller rink in grade school- hehe.
More normal ones: Love Michael Buble, Ray LaMontagne, Elton John, Marry me Jane, Dropkick Murphy's, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips. Too many to name I guess!!!!
