Dat Phat Month Called May

Well we had low attended, but spirited meeting. One of our more polarized gatherings. D'Arcy had a disc he loved humbled as did I as both received at least one beloved zero. Neither D'Arcy or I liked each other's disc very much which evened out the musical ionosphere. Donna did edge out Echo by .06 points and those in the Ken camp did much rejoicing.

Bigger news was that Mr. Mongillo is once again our club's bah humbugger liking only the disc he submitted (do I hear fix?). His submission, Okkervil River, was the highest rated disc of the month with a bullet to number 6. Artic Monkeys had believers and disbelievers. Some bought into the hype some didn't. More of the former than the latter.

We did a group nose blast in regards to Neil's question. No one felt anyone had bad musical taste but we did pick our aliances. Mike H amused us with his analytical renderings, Jay spat at all of us equally, Jen provided nice tidings to Byron and I, D'Arcy and Mike M took the philosophical high road and I delivered affectionate noogies to all.

Topic
We have all mentioned that music is an emotional to thing to us, that is why we are crazed music lunatics. With being serious for a moment provide the group 3 to 5 songs (max please) that can consistently do the following;

1- bring honest tears to your eyes
2- make you angry or upset about what is being sung about
3- cheer you up or make even more happy than you may already be
4- best describe who you are

I am hoping that the answers will be on the more serious side this time.

Next Meeting: June 6th

For July
Host- D'ARcy

New: Mike M, Mike H
