Playlist: Need to Know & My Life with Music so far

On my iPhone I have a fair amount of music. 1077 songs to be exact. Less than a lot, a little more than a few.
The thing is that I love 95% of the songs. I still am and have always tried to delete songs(not completely, just iTunes) if I don't like them too much. So when I shuffle through them I'm usually happy with what comes. Sometimes a strange mix, but nice.
So, before you read further I better give you a quick insight to my life with music. I grew up with Jazz and Musicals because of my Dad being a voice coach( www.thevoiceacademy.com ), musical composer and is currently finishing off his book,'Singing From The Soul', complete with voice exercises and backing tracks.
Anyway, so growing up with him and my mum, although at the time it was my Dad's music that took over the speakers, I have always had a special place for Jazz. That is, of course, where my nickname fit in. My real name is Jasmine, which I love and still use every so often but I feel Jazz is me at this moment in time. From there my dad moved out and my mum started playing her music. It was very different to the music I had always heard. I really didn't like it to start with so we kept throwing some jazz in there somewhere
She would play Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Nick Cave and James Taylor, that sort of thing. After I while I started to take a liking to them, although I always loved James Taylor. Definitely a lot of childhood memories in his album 'Hourglass'.
Now she likes those still but has added a lot of new songs and seeing as she has around 2800 songs on her iPod I couldn't possibly name them all. She probably likes a lot more 'chart' music than I do. I have heard Lana Del Ray's album on repeat blasting out in her office or the kitchen.
