I prefer "Highwayman" to "Songs About Me" any day of the week, for instance.
Then again, I like how Alan Jackson talks about "songs about... good hearted women, family and God" on one song, then his other songs include "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" and "Five O'Clock Somewhere."
And I'll tell you what Jimmy Buffet would do, he'd get drunk, buy an island, and write a song about it! That's what!
Personally, I select based on mood and what I'm doing.
If I'm just having fun, teaming with friends and there isn't some hard-core goal, or something, just "keeping it light", I either shuffle my iPod list, or listen to the local 80's station that my friend owns.

If I'm running hard-core, like MoSTF or Really Master of anything, or we are going for speed or some major goal, I hit up the Techno/Electronica/Darkwave/etc. This usually means Sanctuary Radio

If I'm playing offline, (IE, Civilization IV, SimCity, Starcraft, etc) I either listen to Pandora or Nibz' radio station

One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

That's Trace Adkins, not Alan Jackson. (I'm one to talk; I thought it was Toby Keith when I first heard it.)

My mistake, but it proves my point on the sound. I like different artists with different sounds, not artists who were put on a label because they sound like someone else. |

And I'd probably like country a lot more if they got rid of the nasal-whiny vocalists.
I highly doubt anyone actually cares but I'm a music geek so I'll throw my list into the ring:
1) Whatever I'm currently obsessing over. (Currently, Jackson Browne Running on Empty, the whole album not just the song)
2)My "hearted" Faves playlist (The Zune rating system is lacking)
Which includes:Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Waylon Jennings, The Boomtown Rats, Rush, Rhonda Vincent, The Stones, Eagles, Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Zep, Miranda Lambert, The Who........
3)Albums from any on the above and others

Also, Alan Jackson is one of the last neo traditionalists for the early 90s and soo much better then what is on modern country radio now. When he broke in to George Jones' Choices at the CMAs in the late 90s is classic, so awesome!
Songs about me and Honkytonk babonkadonk are both Trace Adkins Songs, Alan has had a long Fabled career of Great music.

Which I already admitted was my mistake in making, but they do sound somewhat alike, at least to me.
