MUSC205 Exam #2

Well, class ended last Friday, so I'm overdue for the list from our second unit/exam. Our required listening list was definitely longer -- 93 songs, up from 80, for a total listening time of 7:01:31 (hh:mm:ss). Crazy stuff.

I can't really decide which of the two lists I enjoyed listening to more. They were both great for completely different reasons/songs. I'll paste it in below. If you happen to have mp3s for any of the songs marked by ***, please send 'em on over =D

(Oh, and in this unit, I definitely had at least two artists I did not like, at all. They are listed at the very bottom. Though we only listened to 2-3 songs by each artist, so my opinion is admittedly ill-informed. If you happen to really like either of the two artists, I would love to hear song suggestions -- I'm open to changing my mind.)

And that concludes summer classes. Or class. Whatever. I'm so glad it's out of the way. I would say, "Now I can enjoy my summer," except it'll still be hectic. But, that's ok, because at least I won't have homework assignments and required listening and exams, so by default, it's already a heckuva lot better =)

I would love any feedback/thoughts/comments on the scope of the two lists / the class, or recommendations, or anything of that nature. It's always fun to hear what other people have to say.
