I almost listed sleeping and eating as honorable mentions under physical activities. Laughing

*Notices that Miss Spaulding listed swing as a favorite music style, and wonders if she likes the Brian Setzer Orchestra.*

I don't know how I forgot Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones should be number 2, and move everything else down.

What would make you satisfied?

Subject: Re: Your Top 5... Thu Oct 24, 2013 9:31 pm

Cheesecake perhaps… actually if I deleted all Disney soundtracks from the list that would make things easier. Or if I perhaps owned some more cds… Very Happy

These are basically my top five favorite movie soundtrack composers.
