Music Library Shuffle

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Fugees Snip

The Fugees are awesome. I remember listening to them with my sister whilst playing Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex the Kidd.

It was mainly just an exaggeration flexing my vocabulary, but when i look at charts(mainly the the American ones) i'm upset at the quality, most songs are generic crap, and when i see that people actually listen to this stuff i'm surprised, to me liking that stuff is like liking a movie like twilight(it's like junk food for the brain).
I guess your right though about the whole shuffle thing.
And in regards to variety most of the posts i've seen here, the music has been generally in the same vain.
TBH i'm just a music snob

Haha, fair enough. With regards to chart music though, there are definitely merits to some of the "generic pop" that is produced. I don't know what the American charts look like but in the UK we've got some good stuff near the top. Say what you like about Lady Gaga's craziness but she's got talent in what she does, and Ed Sheeran is also pretty good.

Being popular and in the charts doesn't necessarily make something bad. Being a music "snob" - only listening to music that is supposed to be "clever" or something - and believing that anything "pop" related is without merits is probably worse than having a narrow taste in music. From my experience, the people who pretentiously boast about the "awesome" variety of music that they listen to, but shun all "low-brow" forms, are bigger dicks than the people who only listen to one or two specific genres.

This isn't an indictment of you because I can be guilty of doing the same thing. Not so much nowadays, but when I was at college I was a snobby ************ lol.

 

[Sram]

Iced Earth - Vengeance is mine
Into Eternity - Paralyzed
In Flames - My sweet shadow
Arch Enemy - Yesterday is dead and gone
Into Eternity - Severe Imotional Distress

okay, anyone else need another band starting with an I? itunes could pick Insomnium instead of Arch Enemy, but yeah, combo breaker?

 

[TxMxRonin]

Wu-Tang Clan - "Radioactive"
Deicide - "Angel of Agony"
Rammstein - "Tu Quiero Puta!"
The Beatles - "Something"
Morbid Angel - "Beneath the Hollow"

 

[Flames66]

Spoiler: Hitch-hikers guide to the Galaxy theme

Not quire the version I listened to, but as close as I could find.

You sir, or madam, just won my eternal respect for having that tune within your music collection! The BBC version of Hitchhiker's is the difinitive and far superior adaptation in my opinion.

I am quite keen on the BBC radio series.

 

[IamQ]

I used Spotify for this.

1. "Fallen Leaves" - Billy Talent
2. "Don't stop believing" - Glee Version
3. "Keep hope Alive - There is Hope Mix" - The Crystal Method
4. "Hoodie Ninja" - MC Chris
5. "You've got a friend in me (Para el Buzz Espaniol)" - Gipsy Kings

I choose the playlist that I listen to the most. It's categorized with songs that don't fit into my other playlists. So no Choir, Orchestral or calm music.

 

[Astoria]

1) Down on the Street- Rage Against the Machine
2) Pressure- Paramore
3) Foxy Foxy - Rob Zombie
4) Way Out of Here - Porcupine Tree
5) Patience - Guns 'n' Roses

I hardly listen to any of those songs. Odd, usually my iPod makes much better choices for me.

 

[Monochrome]

1. Fat Jon - At The Bar
2. Chris Webby - Crashing Down
3. Away in India - The Doors
4. DFRNT - The Next Step
5. Christophe Mae - Dingue, Dingue, Dingue

[Bubba Doongai]

Lostprophets - We Still Kill The Old Way

Spoiler

Sum 41 - Still Waiting

Spoiler

The Offspring - Original Prankster
Rise Against - Kotov Syndrome

Spoiler

Dean Martin - Ain't That a Kick In the Head

Spoiler

That's actually pretty representative of my musical tastes. It could use a dash of Foo Fighters though.

 

[DustyDrB]

2. Gil Scott-Heron - Or Down you fall

Spoiler

Same with this one, great artist though great shame when he died last year.

He died?!
Damn. I had no clue. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Didn't exactly life an easy life, that fellow. That sucks, though. His music is so personal, you feel like you really know him.

 

[Lawnmooer]

Spoiler: Metallica - No Remorse

Spoiler: Gallows - Just Because You Sleep Next To Me Doesn't Mean Youre Safe

Spoiler: Rammstein - Laichzeit

I think that's a pretty decent mix of my music (None of the heavier stuff though)

Though I do find it hard to post since there should be an apostrophe in the You're in the title of one of the songs, but it screws up the spoiler tag... (Darn my inner Grammar Nazi)

Also, wow... Looking through the thread I'm actually suprised on how much music I've actually listened to (I normally haven't heard of what most people I meet talk about) and that I know the lyrics to quite a lot of the songs people are posting. I'm not sure whether I should be proud or slightly worried about that fact...

 

[Musette]

1. Cloud Forest - Blake Tyson
2. Norwegian Wood - The Beatles
3. Theme of Professor Layton - Tomohito Nishiura
4. Chrono Trigger - Yasunori Mitsuda
5. Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra: Saudação (Greetings) - Ney Rosauro

Not a bad representation of my music, though about 83% of the music on my phone comes from video games, so I was surprised that it wasn't the mass majority.
I'm not too surprised that some percussion pieces popped up since I am a percussionist myself and I enjoy the music I play.

 

[valiantcid]

The Mile - Dead Letter Circus
Immunize - Pendulum
Clocks - Coldplay
Walk of Life - Dire Straits
How to Explain - The Cat Empire

 

[LightspeedJack]

Not Afraid - Eminem
Wants / Needs - Touche Amore
The Skies Above - The Black Mages
Figuring Out - Elliot Minor
You're Not Alone - Final Fantasy IX Soundtrack

I wouldn't say this is representative of my music tastes in general but there you go.

 

[PleasantKenobi]

I'll play:
Throwdown - Throwdown
Creeps - Camille Joves vs Le Grand
Underground in America - Pantera
Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs
Pillow Talk - Starry K

Well that could ahve been alot more 'embarrassing'.

 

[5-0]

Here we go:

1 is a special acoustic version of Porcupine Tree's Time Flies.

2 Kyuss- Whitewater

I do love me some Kyuss.

3 Meshuggah- Pineal Gland Optics

Meshuggah is about as heavy as my tastes go.

4 Public Enemy- M.P.E.

Ah, we were doing so well. I added a bunch of Public Enemy a while back cause I don't mind some of their songs, never heard this one though. Hearing it now...it's alright.

5 Red Hot Chili Peppers- Turn It Again

Not a big fan of Stadium Arcadium. It's just a bit meh, with the exception of Snow and Dani California.

So yeah, this is a pretty good sampling of my collection. We've got one of my favourite bands ever, some stoner rock, some polyrhythmic metal, a bit of hip-hop, and some more radio friendly rock.

Spoiler: videos!
