As I have said (and will continue to say) again and again, so much of loving music has to do with context - where you hear albums or songs and what you're doing when you're listening can have a huge impact on the way you feel about that music. Sometimes it seems like a certain moment combined with a certain song can pretty much impress that song on you forever. I absolutely loved "Angeline" the moment I heard it - before I got a chance to hear any other Howlies song, before I got to see the band play, before I even met the great group of guys in the band. But I don't think it really became one of my favorites until I heard it sung around a campfire in my backyard in the wee hours of the morning at the end of a long and semi-crazy night. I guess it doesn't really count, but that was definitely my favorite show of 2007 - by a landslide.
sorry, but did you pick a contest winner?
