Funny, that came up on my random iTunes rotation yesterday...
Of course, that's because I seem to have EVERY SINGLE RUSH ALBUM EVAR in my music library.
I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

How about Katrina & the Waves, 'Walking On Sunshine' going out to all of my south Florida neighbors who ducked and dodged hurricane Katrina the past couple of days.
Whoa, did I actually say 'Katrina & the Waves'? Yikes!!

I started off the weekend with Majek Fashek's So Long. But Katrina is now threatening to put me farther below sea level than I already am, and I now feel compelled to listen to as much as I can before my Flood Zone A home becomes part of Lake Pontchartrain.

Thanks for this thread!
I am sitting at home - can't go to work, I somehow got pinkeye, so I'm home but not sick.
The wife is at work, the boy is at his grandparents.
I realize that this is the first time in 5 months since the birth of the boy, that I have had a day to listen to music by myself.
Thus for quick reference I am playing Rush's Greatest Hits (thanks Sir Quack!) and will proceed to more ear-splitting loud music.
Weekend Kickoff songs:
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who - I defy you to find a better definition of "rock music" The second scream near the end where Roger Daltry's vocal chords are shattered just gets me psyched up and moving.
Sweet Home Alabama - I'm not from Alabama, nor am I particularily a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, but the sentiment "Turn it up" right after the opening guitar intro, is the right sentiment for listening to good tunage
I third Working for the weekend
Take it easy - Eagles
Lighter fare:
"Playing with My friends" - BB King and Robert Cray
"jammin" - Bob Marley
