Assignment 23 Elana Ehl

It should be no surprise that my hands down favorite genre of music is rock. The way it gets me excited or lets me head bang my anger out is phenomenal. Besides listening to music while I'm driving, I listen to music the most while diving, since i have no control over what i listen to at practice (dang you life guards that control the radio and make me listen to pop music) I’ll share my playlist for meets when its just me, my headphones, and the diving board.  

1. I Don’t Care by Fall Out Boy- A good song to start off with because its rock but not hard rock and it kinda warms you up for the next songs, and the start of the competition. FOB always is a good way to start off a playlist because its not intense (at least in my opinion but my teammates might disagree).
2. I Miss the Misery by Halestorm- Now this is my favorite song in my library. It’s a bit of a jump from FOB to Halestorm, going from alternative rick to hard rock, but in my opinion it works because it just boosts the heart rate even more.
3. In the End by Black Veil Brides- This may be a better transition from FOB to hard rock but it just doesn't have the same effect. The effect it does have is it clears my head a little and allows me to focus because its not as intense as the second song. Again its one of my favorite songs and it really sold me on BVBs because, I mean who doesn’t want to listen to Andy Beirsacks perfect voice (or as Josh says, what Nickelback would have sounded if they were more rock and actually good).
4. Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm- Another head banging song to get the blood pressure up again and the readiness to compete. 
5. America Idiot by Green Day- What better way to bring the playlist to an end than with this classic? It’s an exciting song thats fun to dance and sing along to and leads well into the first song if you want to play it on loop.
