Goodtunes discussion

This is a fun thing to do if you have an ipod or a mp3 player. Set your your iPod or mp3 on shuffle, then see what the first 10 songs that come up. I've seen people do this on other boards to prove how eclectic they are.

I'll start:

1. Bolero by Chopin
2. The Journey by Godsmack
3. Remorse is for the Dead by Lamb of God
4. Animal/Human by Clinic
5. Take No Prisoners by Megadeath
6. Take Her Out by Alice in Chains
7. Out of Nowhere by Charlie Parker
8. Scatterbrain by Radiohead
9. Complication by Nine Inch Nails
10. Darn that Dream by Miles Davis

1. Neighborhood by David Byrne
2. Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield
3. Mary and Omie by Nanci Griffith
4. Do-Re-Mi by John Mellencamp
5. Run by Collective Soul
6. Building a Mystery by Sarah McLachlan
7. Oh I'm a Good Old Rebel by Hoyt Axton
8. Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart
9. Are You Tired of Me My Darling by Nanci Griffith
10.Hearts and Bones by Paul Simon

So I'm going to skip the audiobook tracks that come up.

1. Mischief Managed! by John Williams from the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack
2. Tango to Evora by Loreena McKennit
3. Europa by Globus
4. Where Eagles Have Been by Wolfmother
5. Lament for Staker Wallace by Eileen Ivers
6. Exo-Politics by Muse
7. Change Your Mind by the Killers
8. Slide by Dresden Dolls
9. Get Up Stand Up by Bob Marley
10. The Counsel of Elrond by Aniron/Enya from Lord of the Rings soundtrack

Your list reminds me that I have to add some Muse to my iPod, Sans. Their songs can really liven things up when listening to music on shuffle.

Definitely! I have 3 workout playlists and Muse features heavily in all of them. If you don't have them already, I recommend the Absolution album and The Resistance album.

Jason, it tickled me that Bolero was the first song on your shuffle. That's one of my top 50 faves as well.

Man, it's been ages since I listened to Wolfmother. I'd forgotten how good they are.

Mudvayne - Silenced
Tiamat - Brighter than the Sun
Mozart - Symphony 6 in F Major, part 3

I loved everything on your list, Jerrod!

Well, you know, Jessie's Girl is a classic.

Tressa wrote: "Well, you know, Jessie's Girl is a classic."

So very true :) When I think of that one I always think of "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes for some reason--another classic that I love (lol!) ;)

Did you ever see Rupert Holmes on any of those song shows singing "Escape"? He were a button down under a sweater. He looked like such a dweeb.

Thanks, I find few people who like metal to begin with, little alone if I mix it with Mozart or other classics.

I don't own an Ipod (shock**) but I did like your list Tressa. I have Pandora on Roku, but now that I got a DROID I am going to have to add Pandora to it.

My husband loves Springfield and we saw him on tour a few years ago. It was sad, the concert was like a Tom Jones concert lots of screaming and pantie throwing.

He did sound pretty good still.

I saw Rick Springfield way back in the early 80s and it was the same. Couldn't hear the singing because of all the screaming. I also saw Tom Jones probably in the early 90s I think and yep, screaming fans :) My parents took me to that one. I wouldn't have gone on my own. I like Tom Jones'singing but not the man.

I don't understand the panty throwing. That is sad. I went to a Fat Elvis concert not long before he died and the girls wouldn't stop screaming and some threw their hotel keys. Like he could muster the energy to do anything about it.

I love the way "Jessie's Girl" was used in Boogie Nights. Dirk Diggler had some moment of clarity in that drug dealers house. I don't know what he was thinking, but I liked it.

Okay, here's my mix:

Spiralling by Keane
This Life by Mandalay
Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs
Love Hurts by Incubus
Pace is the Trick by Interpol
Comalies by Lacuna Coil
Ice King by Res
It's My Life by Talk Talk
I Need You by America
Who's That Girl by The Eurythmics

I guess I'm lucky, Jerrod. Most my friends like metal. Even my wife, though she does not enjoy some of the extreme stuff that I like. But it is difficult finding people who like their metal mixed with some Mozart.

Did anyone see Rick Springfield in last year's season of Californication? He was sooooo funny!

I haven't. Has he aged well?

Here's a picture of him on that show:

Rick Springfield is 60?

Wow, I had no idea. He looked like he was 40, maybe 50.

He sure looks good for 60!

He does not look 60 years old!

Who or what did he make a pact with?

Maybe he isn't human? Either that, or Tressa's on to him, and he sold his soul to the devil.

You never know....

When I said interesting, I meant awesome. But in an interesting way. :)

Carl, I think that your list is interesting as well. I don't think I've heard most of those bands. I'll have to check them out.

I can listen to Spiralling about 10 times in a row.

Now THAT is a mix!! Love Du Hast.

OOH! I likes Brian Setzer a little. If you have XM radio tune into channel 59 (Little Steven's Underground Garage). They play some of him and a lot of my other favorite bands.

Thanks for the heads up, Dana. I didn't know Keane had a new CD. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Mineral - Atheist
Brooklyn Bound - The Black Keys
The Central Scrutinizer - Frank Zappa
Settle For Nothing - Rage Against The Machine
The Post - Dinosaur Jr.
Sam Hall - Johnny Cash
Dig For Fire - The Pixies
Regular John - Queens Of The Stone Age
Bad Penny - Rory Gallagher

That was a fun exercise, I'd not listened to some of those songs and half those artists in an age.

Ok here goes!

1) Let's Go Crazy --- Prince & The Revolution
2) Country Boy Can Survive-Acoustic -- Kid Rock
3) Plant Earth --- Duran Druan

That was pretty cool. What do you think?

Awesome lists, Gary and Lori. I forgot all about Purple Rain era Prince. Good stuff!
