Favorite Music of 2017

My very late and incomplete list of my favorite music released in 2017.

  Edit: Updated list to add more music.

Artist: Various Artists
Album: Fifty Shades Darker Soundtrack
Highlights:  "What Is Love?" by Frances and "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Zayn and Taylor Swift

Artist: Imagine Dragons
Album: Evolve

"Road Head" is the saddest song about giving road head ever.

Music Shuffle Game

Rules: Put music on shuffle and answer the following questions.

1. This song describes how you die. - "People Are People" by Depeche Mode
 Am I going to be killed by a bigot?  That sucks.

2. This song describes your love life. - "Diet Mountain Dew" by Lana Del Ray
The first verse of this song is "You're no good for me/Baby, you're no good for me/You're no good for me/But baby, I want you, I want."  That doesn't sound promising.

3. This song will play at your wedding. - "O Fortuna" by Carl Off
Very ominous way to start a marriage.  Maybe because I'm marrying someone who's no good for me.

4. Add “in my pants” to the title of this song. -  "Good Vibrations" by Beach Boys
Good Vibrations in my pants!

5. This song will play at your funeral. - "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga

6. This is your theme song. - "Lonely No More" by Rob Thomas
How depressing.

7. This song will play when you think of someone you love. - "Rapture" by Blondie

8. Add “with a shovel and a screwdriver” to the title of this song.  "Sunday Morning" by No Doubt
Sunday Morning with a shovel and a screwdriver.  Maybe I spend my weekends building stuff in the backyard.

 9. This song describes your past week.  - "Please Please Me"  by The Beatles

10. This song will play when you’re missing someone. - "Jaws Main Theme"  by John Williams
Wow.

The Sorting House Quiz

This Sorting Quiz Will Tell You Which Hogwarts House You Truly Belong In

My results:

You Are 35% Ravenclaw, 27% Gryffindor, 21% Slytherin, and 17% Hufflepuff!

You believe above all in the importance of wisdom, which is why you undoubtedly belong in Ravenclaw, but your sense of adventure means you may also have an affinity for Gryffindor house. You are a thrill-seeker – you love to travel and there’s nothing more exciting to you than new experiences – and believe that adventure is essential in the pursuit of knowledge. You are brave, but would never intentionally put yourself in danger, placing you firmly in Ravenclaw.

Your slight compatibility with Slytherin house suggests a determination to succeed, though not at the expense of traits from your more dominant houses.
