You are longing for your youth, feeling lost, trapped in circumstances you just want to run from, looking for answers. You want to listen to music to match your mood. What do you listen to? That’s easy – Bob Seger.

Maybe it’s a guy thing, but if “Like a Rock” doesn’t make you way too aware of the crappy shape you are in, both physically and mentally, then you are probably suffering from Alzheimer’s. And if “Night Moves” doesn’t cause pangs of pain over passions past, then either you are one lucky man with passions still intact, or you lived a very dry youth.

Stuck in one place and ready to blow your brains out? Try “Roll Me Away” for your escape fantasy. Tired of being on the road? Then it’s “Turn the Page.” Remembering the restlessness of your younger days, but stuck with the knowledge that it all fades to nothing in the end? “The Fire Inside” is your song. Never have life figured out and are still running around trying to get there? Well, you’ve been running “Against the Wind.” And finally, ending on a note of hope, you’ll be fine “In Your Time.”

These are just some of the songs on the Bob Seger – Greatest Hits album. You have to go to the individual albums to get all of the other good songs. Not only does this music usually fit with my mood, it’s just great classic rock. And no, I’m not shilling for Seger. I’m just an appreciative listener.
