Not my three favorite songs

Even if I'm not drawn to a piece of music personally, I start thinking about the kind of person that would be drawn to that music.  It's a fun way to develop characters, I've found.  Take three songs and think of the person who would have those as their top three songs.  It works really well whether you use three really similar songs or three totally different ones.  It's kind of like the restaurant game, where you look at strangers a few tables away and try to come up with their backstory.

So, for those of you who like a writing prompt, here are three songs to associate with a character. Name/Age/Sex?  What do they look like?  How old are they?  Where did they grow up?  What do they do for a living?  What do they want to accomplish?  What's stopping them?

Uriah Heep - The Wizard


The Cult - Big Neon Glitter


Mother Love Bone - Stargazer
