[over_the_aybss]

Ok; You twisted my arm. I'll post again


Letterbomb-Green Day

Lola-not the orignal; don't know who sang this one.

Wonderwall-Oasis

Swing Swing-All American Rejects

Terminal Preppie-Dead Kennedys

Calling All Angels- Train

deja vu anyone?

Platypus(I hate you)-Green Day

Having a blast-Green Day

This is a horrible shuffler

Build Me Up Buttercup-Some british band

not actually a band name; although that would be funny

Stand By Me- Oasis

[Fallen Element]

01) Green Day - Poprocks & Coke
02) Emmylou Harris - Deeper Well
03) Catatonia - Mulder and Scully
04) Metallica - The Memory Remains

06) Adema - Everyone

Fal xXx

[JimiJimi]

Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
System of a Down - Chop Suey
Alice in Chains - Don't Follow
The Doors - The End
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
Meat Puppets - Oh me
The Ventures - Hawaii 5-0 theme
Weird Al Yankovich - Polka Power
Alice in Chains - I Am Inside

Hmm, not terrible, but that was a very lucky pick from my computer there.

[Hobbes]

1. Life On Mars? - Bowie, David
2. Train In Vain - Lennox, Annie
3. What You Don't Do For Love - Go West
4. Take, Take, Take - White Stripes, The
5. Union Of The Snake - Duran Duran
6. I Never Came - Queens Of The Stone Age
7. Beatles Medley - Take That
8. These Boots Are Made For Walking - Sinatra, Nancy
9. HIStory - Jackson, Michael
0. Gold - Spandau Ballet

Hmm... #7's presence was allowed by a compilation album which, for some absurd reason, felt that it was a valuable addition to the tracks. It is not a track I would have ripped selectively.

The rest, I can accept.

[little_bear]

Meh, I'm bored, so I might as well do it again:

1. Clocks - Coldplay
2. Learning How To Smile - Everclear
3. LSF (Lost Souls Forever) - Kasabian
4. Ways and Means - Snow Patrol
5. End of a Century - Blur
6. Elevation - U2
7. She Drove Me to Daytime Television - Funeral For a Friend
8. Nil - The Cardigans
9. Junk of the Hearts - The Cardigans
10. Jenny Was a Friend Of Mine - The Killers

Hmm, that's not so bad. Surprising that no Feeder came up, but o well. The only slightly embarrassing one on there is Elevation. I really can't stand U2 - I just think they're bland and uninspired.

[Hobbes]

Meh, I'm bored, so I might as well do it again:

Ditto.


1. I Believe - Tears For Fears
From CD #1 of a greatest hits double-album I have. This CD is high up in my list of favourites, as I love every track on the album. This particular track, incidentally, is probably my least favourite of them all. But I still like it.

2. Nocturnal Pleasure - Meat Loaf
I haven't heard this track before, as I bought the album (Dead Ringer) a few weeks ago and have yet to listen to it in its entirety. And... oh... well, the track lasted about thirty-seven seconds. So... hmm... not much to say about it really. I love the album: Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell. Which is why I went out and bought Dead Ringer (as well as the original Bat Out Of Hell).

3. She Has No Time - Keane
I am ashamed to say that I have never properly listened to all the album tracks from Keane's 'Hopes & Fears'. I always seem to skip to the singles, which I know well and love. So I only vaguely know this track. It's pretty good.

4. I Love To Laugh - Mary Poppins Cast
Hehe My mum used to hate this song.

5. Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Guns 'N' Roses
GnR being wonderfully commercial. A pretty good song.

6. 1999 - Prince
I have to be in the right mood for Prince, as sometimes his squeaking and whining is incredibly irritating. This particular song is fairly devoid of all that tom-foolery though, so is easier on the ears.

7. Remember The Time - Michael Jackson
I've always liked the music of Michael Jackson; despite the press, the rumours, the reports, the... etc. It's just good pop music I grew up listening to it, so it'll always feature heavily in my playlists.

8. Church Of The Poison Mind - Culture Club
Culture Club's two other main hits ('Karma Chameleon' and 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me') drive me mad. Boy George's voice just doesn't appeal to me. This particular song is an improvement on them. But I'd still rather not listen to Culture Club at all.

9. So Long - ABBA
Not a song I especially know.

10. Mandela Day - Simple Minds
I believe they have a new album out, or coming out?


^ Not too bad a collection. Seems to be incredibly pop-based, full of heavily commercial groups Which, to be perfectly honest, isn't really that bad a representation of the music I own. Heh

[spuglet]

This'll be an odd one, I always have my MWP on all music/shuffle, so I'll just list the next 10 randoms.

1. There she goes, The Las.
2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Beatles.
3. Little Green Bag (Reservior Dogs Soundtrack)
4. Galapogos, The Smashing Pumpkins
5. 3 the Hard Way, Beastie Boys
6. Rhythm is a dancer (Not sure who did that 'un)
7. Supermarioland (Again, can't remember.)
8. Walk On By, The Stranglers
9. I'll live when I'm alive..., Bon Jovi
10. Grease Paint and Monkey Brains, White Zombie.

(Phew, it avoided the really bad!)

[Pikasyuu]

God, I love music-geekery like this. Let's seee...

1. Cake - Sheep Go To Heaven
2. Mew - 156
3. the Smiths - Pretty Girls Make Graves
4. Boards of Canada - Aquarius
5. the Shins - Caring is Creepy
6. Radiohead - Talk Show Host
7. Blur - Tender
8. Placebo - Running Up That Hill
9. Polaroid - So Damn Beautiful
10. Rasputina - Signs of the Zodiac

[elphaba2]

We Suck Young Blood- Radiohead
When I Was a Painter- the Breeders
Time- Pink Floyd
Mercy Kiss- Abandoned Pools
Drunken Butterfly- Sonic Youth
Nyja Lagid- Sigur Rose
Gardenhead- Neutral Milk Hotel
Alternative to Love- Brandon Benson
Take the Skinheads Bowling- Camper Van Beethoven
Hyrule Field Main Theme- Koji Kondo

edit: number 11 is Steve Wonder's "I Wish". Funkalicious.

[Hobbes]

1. Wouldn't It Be Good - Nik Kershaw
2. Angel - Massive Attack
3. All That She Wants - Ace of Base *cringe*
4. Blind Man - Aerosmith
5. A Man Called Ironside - Theme
6. Help Yourself - Tony Ferrino
7. A View To A Kill -Duran Duran
8. I Wonder Why - Curtis Stigers
9. Single - Natasha Bedingfield
0. It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It - Fun Boy Three with Bananarama

Hmm... a rather poppy collection.

[Moosh]

I remebered this earlier when looking to see how many tracks I have on my computer (4303 for all you trivia buffs). So:

1) Green Day - Sweet Children
Okay...

2) Mr Fuzzy - Pronouncing Mata
Okay, I wasn't expecting that

3) Slipknot - Pulse of the Maggots
Argh! Save me from my sister's nu-metal

4) Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Parallel Universe
A good song at last

5) Nirvana - In Bloom
Meh

6) Savage Garden - The Best Thing
I didn't even know that was on here

7) Donots - Time's Up
Great song

8) Robbie Williams - Something Beautiful
Bah, musical embarrassment

9) Muse - Megalomania
An okay song

10) Bif Naked - Make Like a Tree
Meh again


One day I will do this and get a list I'm happy with

[Novander]

1. Let Go - Spotlights
Okay, I don't remember ever hearing of this band or this song. I'm listening to it now for what could be the first time. Its good. Kinda pop-punky, but more mature. Or something.

2. Linkin Park - The Down Syndrome
A couple of songs I had which claimed to be by Linkin Park actually weren't, so I'm not totally sure about this one. It sounds like them, but its not great.

3. Jimmy Eat World - What Would I Say To You Now?
Oh man, this song. Its great. Its on Singles. You know the really emo blogs where they quote song lyrics all the time and talk about how it means so much to them. Well, when I feel the need to do that, I use this song.

4. Shadows Fall - The Power Of I And I
Good or bad, I'm listening to all of these top 10 songs. And this is definitely bad. It came on the Take Action vol. 4 CD I bought, so I can forgive myself for owning it. Actually, listening to it, its not so bad. Just kinda bland metal. In a word: Forgettable.

5. Hundred Reasons - Drowning
Excellent song. When I first heard Hundred Reasons, I couldn't stand the singer's voice, but after I heard Falter, I became a convert.

6. My Vitriol - Losing Touch
This is one of the tracks on their Finelines album that I never listen to. Its good, though. Whatever happened to My Vitriol? I think I heard rumours that they've finally got a new album coming out. Anyone want to enlighten me?

7. From Autumn To Ashes - Reflections
I didn't know any FATA when I first bought this album. It wasn't at all what I expected, and I didn't like it. As my taste in music progressed, I started to like it more and more until now I'm a huge FATA fan. Brilliant intro.

8. System of a Down - Psycho
Its good, but you knew that already. Bit of a filler track, this one. Chop Suey! is still their best song.

9. Bright Eyes - At The Bottom Of Everything
I like this song. It starts with a little story. Probably one of Bright Eyes' most accessable albums.

10.Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime (The Moleman Remix)
One of the few remixes I actually like. Actually, Linkin Park were at number 10 but we've already had one of their songs (probably).

Not a bad selection there. Shame about the Shadows Fall. 4502 songs to choose from, with another 12 or so on their way from Amazon at the moment in the form of The Appleseed Cast - Mares Vitalis.

[CrazyFooIAintGet...]

I was bored too..

1. My Morning Jacket - Just because I do (I dont like this at all, gonna delete it)
2. The Decemberists - A cautionary song
3. Rammstein - Ohne dich
4. Tykwer, Kilmek, Heil - Introduction (from Run Lola Run soundtrack)
5. Project Pitchfork - Fleischverstärker
6. The Postal Service - Recycled Air
7. Billy Talent - Try Honesty
8. Blutengel - Stay
9. Enon - Litter in the gutter
10. Clan of Xymox - It's not enough

[I_am_the_best]

1) Track 16 I think this is 'The 6th Station' by Joe Hisaishi. I love it.
2) Protège Moi - Placebo Ooooh, Brian Molko. *sigh*
3) Ding A little song about 12 seconds long which my friend made. It's pretty good really.
4) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n Roses Too good, too good.
5) Lullaby - Jack Johnson _What_ is this doing here?! Urgh, shameful.
6) The Crawl - Placebo More Brian.
7) Narcoleptic - Placebo Would ya look at that.
8) Track 1 I think this is 'A Summer's Day' by Joe Hisaishi.
9) Passepied - Debussy Love it.
10) Special K - Placebo Yay!

I'm not too embarrassed, but Jack Johnson, it's not my fault... my friend sent it to me and I told him it was boring. I shall never live it down.

[Hobbes]

From 4637 songs:

1. Walking On The Moon - The Police
Good song. No embarassment here. My step-nephew's girlfriend is in a band that often does covers of Police songs. Good choice, I say.

2. Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
One of his more commercial songs. I like it's self-referentialism. Was this a #1? I forget... still, it is very good.

3. We Can Run Away Now They're All Dead & Gone - Snow Patrol
I don't know any of their music, despite owning their album 'Final Straw'. This song seems quite nice - I should really listen to the rest of their stuff that I own.

4. Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - Wham!
Hmm. Embarassed? Me? No... anyone that knows me should be well aware that I am a sucker for 80s music. And sometimes, I let myself slip into the cheesy pop sector of that. Still, this isn't the kind of song I would put on when trying to impress someone.

5. Intuition - Natalie Imbruglia
I don't know this song. It sounds 'okay'. Natalie Imbruglia is hot though, so I can let it slide.

6. Dalai Lama - Mecano
A Spanish group. I am not sure whether or not they are still around. The double-album that I own is a greatest hits, and seems to suggest that the group split up? I bought it because during A-Level Spanish we listened to one of their songs, so I tried to find some more stuff. Turned out that I also already knew another of their songs (Un Año Más) from some random cassette of tunes my sister owned.

7. Once You've Tasted Love - Take That
No. No No No. If nothing else, this group's appearance inspired a post in the 'Make Up A Rumour About Mata' thread. This song sounds awful.

8. Monument - Ultravox
Some Ultravox stuff is incredible. Some of it less so. The complete lack of vocals in this song really stretches my patience. Definitely in the "less so" category.

9. Sun Street - Katrina & The Waves
I don't know this song at all. Sounds suitably 'joyful', as one would expect from The Waves.

10. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) - Meat Loaf
From the lyrical absence of Ultravox's Monument above, to this song which features an entirely spoken intro. This is fairly typical Meat Loaf stuff really, from 'Bat Out Of Hell'. Personally, I prefer 'Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell'.

[elphaba2]

...{things, including a mention of Joe Hisaishi}...

I love him! I got the soundtrack to Spirited Away some time ago and just fell in love with his stylings... good job for you, liking him. High five.

Ehm.

1) Fables of Faubus- Charles Mingus. Ahhhhh jazzy deliciousness
2) Stash- Phish. Not surprising.
3) The Bachelor and the Bride- The Decemberists. I love them with a deep love, but I'm not fond of this wispy, pointless female harmony. Sing, dammit!
4) Gimme Some Salt- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Um, who reads too much Questionable Content? Not me. Nope.
5) Field Trip USA- Moonbabies- indie-ish trip-pop. Lovely.
6) Rush of Love- ccc. Agggghhh! This is fantastic! That Coldplay song with the sitars that I always mixed up with the Beatles' "Love You To" was mashed with aforementioned Beatles song by this group of dj's and spliced with some bizarre Irish man yelling about Jesus. Go download it now.
7)Enjoy Your Worries, You May Never Have Them Again- the Books. Hm. My iPod has taken a serious turn for the trip-poppy. This is also fantastic, kind of techno, but well-managed.
8) Seek Up-Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. This is off of "Live At Luther College", which is one of my favorite CDs of all time. It's things from DM's solo record but much less harshly done and overall swell.

Don't have time for the other two...

[MrRandomQuotes]

Well lets see how this goes... God knows what will come out with the masses of music on my PC.

*crosses fingers and hopes nothing embaressing pops up*

Cold, Cold Night - White stripes
Township Rebelion - Rage against the machine
Prisoner of Today - Billy Talent
Didjerama - Jamiroquai
Hateful - Clash
The Lost souls - AFI
Rusted Embrace - Killswitch engage
Holy Names - Pretty girls make graves
Control This - The dead 60's
Deep - Pearl jam

Well that wasnt too bad. Phew.

[Moosh]

1) Family Guy - Rock Lobster
But it wasn't a rock, it was a rock lobster!
Excellent version of the B52s song

2) Iron Maiden - Rainmaker
Awesome song

3) Muse - Minimum
Meh

4) Staind - Reality
I dislike this song

5) Violent Delight - Same Old Story
Not one of their best songs but all their songs are good. Anyone who hasn't heard any of VDs songs really should.

6) Bob Marley and the Wailers - Exodus
Great song

7) Iron Maiden - Wasting Love
An okay song

8) Green Day - Best Thing in Town
Bad song

9) The Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So
Okay, haven't heard it for ages

10) Weird Al Yankovic - Amish Paradise
Yay! End on a high note!


Quite a good selection

[Hobbes]

1. Indestructible (Shagsonic Dub) - Alisha's Attic
A not-especially-good remix of an okay song.

2. Dog Eat Dog - Adam & The Ants
There is no denying that most of the Adam Ant / Adam & The Ants songs were all fairly samey, with just two or three stand-outs. This song only stands out for being quite awful.

3. Murder - Coldplay
A b-side from the God Put A Smile Upon Your Face single. It is quite a good song, but understandably a b-side. It is minimally catchy.

4. Good Intentions - Toad The Wet Sprocket
I don't know what this band's other songs sound like, as I only own this via the Friends soundtrack CD. But I like this song. I believe the group was fairly big at one point?

5. A Gift - 'Sleepy Hollow' soundtrack
I saw this film at the cinema, and liked the music so bought the CD. I have since found that the music is only really fitting with the film's events, so unless a headless horseperson enters my life, I will have little use for this CD.

6. I Call Your Name - A-Ha
A-Ha released a couple of songs that are regarded as 80's "classics". This song isn't known to me, but seems fairly standards 80's pop.

7. Back Door Man - Sarah McLachlan
From the album 'Solace', which I find the hardest to enjoy. This song is okay.

8. What If - Coldplay
From 'X&Y', an album that I love dearly, and that many others berate meticulously. This song is not one of my favourites on the album, but I do like it.

9. That's What They Call The Didgeridoo - Rolf Harris
Well. I own a Rolf Harris CD. So there.

10. Josephine - Tori Amos
Quite a nice song. Not particularly preferred over several others, but still quite good.

[little_bear]

1. Vertigo - U2.
I absolutely despise this song. Quite why it's on my MP3 player, I don't know. I find U2 so bland, uninspired and boring it's almost not true.

2. Tender - Feeder.
Off their Pushing the Senses album. Again, I'm not particularly fond of this song. But, once it gets going, it's a pretty decent track.

3. If You Tolerate This - Manic Street Preachers.
Man I love The Manics. This is a fantastic song - I hadn't heard it for ages until I saw a friend listening to it on MSN Messenger and downloaded it. Brilliant.

4. Fistful Of Steel - Rage Against The Machine.
Hmm, RATM's self titled album (from which this is a track) is absolutely blinding, but this is one of the weaker titles on it. Still good though.

5. Flylife - Basement Jaxx.
Eugh, I can't stand this song. Possibly because I have no idea what the bloke is singing about.

6. Forgive - Feeder.
A decent song from Polythene. This was back in their 'heavy' days. It's a good song, but there are better on the album, such as Decend, High and Cement. Great when it gets going though.

7. Because I Got It Like That - Jungle Brothers.
Ah, this is such a fun song. Never fails to bring a smile. Pretty damn funky too.

8. Caroline, Yes - Kaiser Chiefs.
I used to be a massive fan of the KCs, but as their I Predict A Riot became so overplayed I wanted to tear my eyes out, I kinda went off them. I liked them because they seemed pretty indie, but now they've sort of merged into 'kiddie-pop'. Shame. There are still some really good songs on the album though, of which this is one.

9. Bliss - Muse.
I really like this song. Not much else to say about it really.

10. Hotride - The Prodigy.
Ah, I love this song. It's the best on the Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned album. So groovy.

[Moosh]

1) Weird Al - Amish Paradise
Pretty funny, and the great thing is, you can make fun of the Amish on the 'Net and they'll never know

2) Tenacious D - One Note Song
Meh, its not even a song.

3) Nirvana - You Know You're Right
It's okay but not great

4) Alanis Morrisette - Unsent
That's .... not mine

5) The White Stripes - Well It's True That We Love Each Other
Quite funny, but not really good

6) Joel Veitch, Alex Veitch, Mike Baker, Tim Gallagher - Half a Guava
Great song

7) Turisa - Battle Metal
Very stirring and great for playing at full volume at 3am on Saturday

8) The Offspring - Dammit, I Changed Again
Meh

9) Bob Marley and the Wailers - I Shot the Sheriff
Finally another good song

10) RHCP - Can't Stop
Okay song

[JimiJimi]

I now officially have more music on my mp3 player than on my computer since I wiped it.

So, random pick from Mr. Shuffle:

Metal Gear Solid, Legend of the Snake - Reuben Kee
This is a fantastic remix of the theme from Metal Gear Solid.

Good For You - Toto
As a good friend of mine said, 'Nowt embarrasin' 'bout likin' Toto. Well, there is, but y'know'. Needless to say, he was from up North.

Make Believe - Toto
See above.

Would - Alice in Chains
One of my favourite songs of all time. Absolutely fantastic, if you don't like Alice in Chains already you really should.

I Stay Away - Alice in Chains
Very good song with a very good video. From their acoustic album, 'Jar of Flies', it's much less dark then their other songs.

Dam That River - Alice in Chains
Very heavy, but not depressingly so. Great song to jump around the house to.

Metal Gear Solid, Main Theme - Konami
So I like Metal Gear Solid. Big deal. But anyway, this is a classic. In fact, I'm gonna listen to this before I go onto to the next shufflified track. Plus, it has a synth guitar solo!

Am I Inside - Alice in Chains
From their other acoustic album, Sap. This album came out a bit before Jar of Flies, and is more dark.

Got me Wrong - Alice in Chains
Not one of their dark songs, but with a very strong rhythm. Another great song.

Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
The 80s version of 'What I go to School For', except this has one of the cheesiest videos I have ever seen (even moreso than Jump), has a great thumping drum beat at the start, a very very hard tapping section on top of that, and is full to the brim with innuendo. 'I brought my pencil, give me something to write on!'

[EvilSpork]

1. Of Montreal - Lysergic Bliss
2. Windmill - All The Birds
3. The Beatles - Let It Be
4. Coal Chamber - Loco
5. Ozzy - No More Tears
6. Mustard Plug - Miss Michigan
7. Mustard Plug - Get It Goin' On
8. No idea what song this is, something blue grass.
9. Lautsprecher - Omnibus
10. Arockalypse ATM - Robot Nation

Well, I had my fun. I think.
