The 10 Track Compilation Thread (lyrics, dancing, dance, hardcore, house)

[sleepy jack]

As long as its not a full album you'll be fine.

[tkpb938]

I am reassured. Workin on the comp. now.

[tkpb938]

Okay, here I go. Wish me luck
1) Dir En Grey - Obscure
Though I don't often listen to them anymore, this band was absolutely critical to my musical evolution. They helped me really open my mind to different styles of music that I wasn't even aware of previously.

2) King Crimson - I Talk to The Wind
I wasn't really too familiar with King Crimson until recently, but they're a big influence on many bands that have in turn been a huge influence on me (tool, porcupine tree etc.)

3) The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
I know, its cliche, but this song has truly been a big asset to me in getting through certain hard times.

4) Protest The Hero - Heretics and Killers
This band just throws everything into their music. The emotional charge in this song is crazy.

5) Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Simply one of the pest prog-rock bands out there right now, this song is one of my favorites by Porcupine Tree. This is the live version from their new album Warszawa.

6) Cold War Kids - We Used To Vacation
Another fairly recent entry into my musical repertoire, these guys are gradually slipping me into the indie scene.

7) Thrice - Red Sky
The finisher to their masterpiece concept album this song is haunting and a great way to end an album.

8) The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Who doesn't relate to this classic? Besides that, the pumpkins were also a huge influence on me during my early days of listening to music, and this song brings back many bitter-sweet memories.

9) John Lennon - Imagine
This song proves Lennon's genius, and will (hopefully) immortalize him, as I expect the the message will be pertinent to human kind for years to come.

10) Mindless Self Indulgence - 2 Hookers and An 8 Ball
The comic relief to my list

1. Crystal Crescent
The bands second single and the one that thrust them to the forefront of the C86 movement.

2. Treasure Trip
Jangly indie pop from their debut album Sonic Flower Groove. They disowned this album even before it came out , but I like it.

3. I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have
Soulful rock ballad from their self titled second album. This song had the crap remixed out of it and was the basis for Loaded on the Screamadelica album.

4. Don't Fight It Feel It (7" Edit)
I actually like this version better than the full version on Screamadelica , it seems more stripped down & to the point. I think this is the best dance record they ever made.

5. Screamadelica
Although the title track wasn't included on the album it was included on the Dixie Narco E.P. This song is a glorious 10 minute psychadelic / dance / soul / funk workout.

6. Kowalski
Heavy as fuck song based on Richard Sarafian's 1971 movie Vanishing Point. The highlight of the album Vanishing Point.

7. Motorhead
Somehow Primal Scream play this louder & heavier than Motorhead & Hawkwind ever did.

8. Exterminator
Title track from the bands 6th album , this is included purely for the bassline alone.

9. MBV Arkestra
This song is pretty much what it says in the title , Kevin Shields (MBV) does Sun Ra (Arkestra) . This song goes from being dance to bangra to rock to jazz to noise and then back again in my opinion it's the best ever song Primal Scream have ever written.

10 When The Bomb Drops
The best song by miles off the Riot City Blues album , features a guest appearance by Will Sergent of Echo & The Bunnymen on guitar doing his typical swirly Bunnymen style playing.

11 Velocity Girl [Bonus Track]
80 Seconds of pure jangly indiepop heaven.
This is the Primal Scream track that appeared on the famous C86 compilation.

LINK

I have to say that I pretty much detested the jingly Indie tracks. I think it's probably my Metal grounding that has hardened my ears to what I call chinga chinga! However I really loved this comp and I'm Losing More Than I Will Ever Have blew me away as my only link with this is Loaded. I knew the Exterminator tracks but I think I need to get some Primal Scream in my collection pronto.

They have a Screamadelica/Don't Give 2 pack for a fiver at a local store which seems like a good starter.

I'll put my Top 10 Hits of The Pastels on hold for now then

[XyZ]

Is someone keeping track (pardon the pun) of all these top tens?

[jackhammer]

Not quite a ten tracker, but another trek into the unknown!

1. King Jammy - Slow Motion Dub.
A dub classic. Say no more really.
2. Grand National - Going To Switch The Lights On.
Great little classic pop band with a sparkly gitar jingle.
3. The Cranes - Bewildered.
You could call them a proto trip hop band with the female vocals and strange beats.
4. Mount Eerie- No Flashlight.
Minimalist acoustic yumminess.
5. Loop - Shot With A Diamond.
Trip ahoy! Hypnotic and utterly original. You wont hear many tracks similar.
6.The Stranglers - Threatened.
You want big fat bass lines? check out Jean Jacques Burnell's booming lines on this classic post punk track.
7. Bernard Herrman - Taxi Driver Theme
Stunning last score from a soundtrack master. A beautiful Jazz infused piece.
8. The Toasters-Marlboro Man
Third wave ska at it's catchiest.
9. Tin Machine-Pretty Thing.
Most fans did'nt like Bowie's side project that was essentially an upmarket metal band. I however love the first album and this track.
10. Nitzer Ebb-Fun To Be Had.
One of the earliest EBM bands around. Very influential.
11. Lisa Gerard-The Insider.
Glorious hypnotic track from the film soundtrack The Insider. Lisa Gerard was a member of the influential Dead Can Dance.
12. Folk Implosion-Natural One.
I have only ever heard this track by these and would love to hear more. I love the big snare sound and the breezy guitar licks.
13. Clayhill-Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.
A cover of The Smiths classic for the This Is England soundtrack.
14. Roy Budd-Get Carter Theme.
Classic film. Iconic score.
15. Graham Reynolds-Aphids.
Strange bizarre electronice from the A Scanner Darkly soundtrack

1. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - The Ramones
Simple, light-hearted punk rock. What more can you ask for?

2. Know Your Enemy - Rage Against The Machine
This song is some of the catchiest and best guitar work from Tom Morello. It's also the truth, especially at the end of the song. "Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite, all of which are american dreams".

3. Invalid Litter Dept - At The Drive In
This song is angsty, metaphoric and emotional. An excellent and neccessary post-hardcore song.

4. I'm The One - Descendents
Great, non-commercial pop-punk.

5. Over My Head (Better Off Dead) - Sum41
I don't care what anyone says about Sum41. They're mainstream, but awesome, and this is their best song, in my opinion.

6. I Wanna Get A Mohawk (But Mom Won't Let Me Get One) - AFI
Hardcore, energetic, and snotty. THIS is punk rock.

7. From The Bottom Of My Heart - The Wallflowers
This is a beautiful acoustic song by one of my favorite bands. It is very relaxing.

8. I Can't Explain - The Who
In its simplicity, it is awesome. One of the best songs of the 60's.

9. Adam's Song - Blink 182
My favorite song. Ever. It's a song about suicide, but the last part is upbeat, and speaks from the perspective of the person had they not committed suicide.

10. And The Hero Will Drown - Story Of The Year
This song is intense, emotional, energetic, and amazing. The greatest emo/screamo/hardcore/whateverthekidscallitthesedays song there is. I've loved it since I first heard it, that long-ass time ago. It goes from screaming, to melodic singing to heavy guitar. It's a very chaotic song that makes you want to just start screaming with him.
