I wanted to make a sweet progressive playlist, including old and new stuff. See what you can recognize.

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Electric Ladyland
Easy Wind - The Grateful Dead, Workingman's Dead
No Rainbow - Deadboy and the Elephantmen, We Are Night Sky
The End - The Doors, The Doors
Third Eye - Tool, Salival
Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin
Holy Mountains - System of a Down, Hypnotize
No Quarter - Tool, Salival
Any Color You Like - Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
I Think I Lost My Headache - Queens of the Stone Age, Rated R

It's actually surprisingly cohesive.

Nice list! I approve of just about all of it.

Working on getting zip file downloads... I'll edit once I have it.

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
This song is probably embedded into my mind. My grandfather always used to sing or play this song when I was younger. It's always just been an oddly comforting song to me.

Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix
Yesssss.

Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
I love Sufjan Stevens for some really odd reason. This is my favorite song off their 2005 album, Illinois.

The Fear You Won't Fall - Joshua Radin
I'm a sucker for even little harmonies. And boys with voices like his.

Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
I can't even describe the love affair I wish I could have with Bob Dylan. Way to make a million references to fictional and pop culture icons in an eleven minute song.

Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen
"The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow."

Hey, Jude - The Beatles
My mom used to tell me how she went through this huge Beatles phase when she was pregnant with me. Like... scarily obsessive. And it somehow transfered to me. After I was born, Hey, Jude was the only song my mom could sing to put me to sleep. Scream Mary Had a Little Lamb.

America - Simon & Garfunkel
If you've never heard this song, you need to do it NOW.

White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
Scarily enchanting. My friend Michael was obsessed with this song when he first heard it.

Give Peace A Chance - John Lennon
Duh.

**jackhammer** · 07-05-2008, 05:53 PM

I have'nt done a compilation for a while so here is a 3rd wave Ska comp for you lovely people. 3rd wave Ska draws on a heavy asthetic, usually Punk and Hardcore riffs coupled with some skanking beats! I have tried to go for lesser known bands and not the usual Ska-by-the-numbers riff skank riff skank scenario that has lead to many bands sounding completely unoriginal.

1. Leftover Crack-Drug Song.

A very low tech Ska Punk track that uses an easy skank to state it's very short point.

2. Mighty Mighty Bosstones-What's At Stake.

One of my first experiences of 3rd wave Ska in the early 90's. This was when the band were a little rawer and the Horn/guitar combo riff is a killer.

3. The Fad-Ska Boom!

Another band that appreciates a punk riff as much as a good skank and I love the organ on this track.

4. Big D And The Kids Table-Little Bitch.

A decent cover of the Specials track (who themselves are regarded as one the very best Ska bands) and although their sound is a little too contrived at times for me, this cover warrants inclusion.

5. Capdown-Cousin Cleotis.

This U.K band has unfortunately dropped their Ska influences on their most recent long player and is a sad indictment of the state of music that Ska is a no go over here. However this fantastic Punk Ska skanker delivers with it's dual sax/guitar lines.

6. Choking Victim-Crack Rock Steady.

The easy skank on this track sounds like it was recorded in a guys garage out of a jam session and lends the track a likeable charm. Not exactly the height of musicianship but the enthusiasm makes up for this.

7. The Porkers-Going Off.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about this band except that the tempo and groove keep my foot tapping constantly!

8. King Prawn-The Dominant View.

This track is a mini classic within the Ska fraternity and features some brilliantly danceable riffs. The album is good too.

9. Reel Big Fish-Take On Me.

RBF are not a big favourite of mine as they have a very commercial sound. However this cover of A-Ha's 'Take On Me' is a refreshingly different take ona well known track and the horns are inspired!

10. The Flaming Tsunamis-Birdwatching And Vice Versa.

A band that is not easy to pigeonhole and many fans just cant get around their Hardcore Punk/ Ska hybrid. Wonderfully abrasive yet not easily liked. One of the more original 3rd wave Ska albums out there.

You've outdone yourself this time jack - I traditionally HATE all ska-punk/third wave but I'm actually loving this. Normally I eschew the poppier stuff (sorry Reel Big Fish are horrible) but the musicianship is still evident - any suggestions for a Capdown album to look out for?

I especially like the hardcore crossover stuff (the Flaming Tsunamis) and the genius that is King Prawn; there's alot more going on arrangement-wise than in your standard Less Than Jake choon.

Oh yeah and according to iTunes 'Crack Rock Steady' is by Choking Victim, you've written it as a Leftover Crack song?

top marks mate, a real eye-opener.

It is Choking Victim. I had to rewrite my post after winzip altered the playlist and must have missed that. As for Capdown: Civil Disobedients is THE classic, closely followed by Pound For The Sound. Ignore Wind Up Toys-it's awful. The Flaming Tsunamis are superb. 'Fear Everything' is a great great album. Any trouble finding stuff, a PM will fix it

Thanks for listening.

A catchy, ubpeat, typical Millencolin song. A perfect opener to this compilation.

2. Under Lock And Key - MxPx
Another fact-paced pop-punk song. A great beat for skateboarding to. It's again, catchy and upbeat.

3. Stickin' In My Eye - NOFX
Classic NOFX song. Fast, silly, and random = perfect for skateboarding.

4. Out Of Control - Rancid
An energetic, speedy punk song. It's got a sweet, but simple bass line, and rough, aggressive vocals.

5. Darko - Slick Shoes
Darker (as the name suggests) than most of the other songs on this compilation, but catchy, singalong, and fast.

6. Tiny Voices - Bad Religion
Bad Religion at their best. Serious, melodic, fast, and catchy.

7. California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys
A great song from one of the predecessors of skate punk. This song has a great chorus, sarcastic vocals (what we've all come to expect from Jello Biafra) and a fast tempo.

8. What We Hate - Screeching Weasel
Pop-Punk at its very best. No wonder it has the most plays on my iTunes.

9. I Know You Well - Face To Face
Another great skate-punk song. Fast, melodic, and probably my favorite song from Face To Face.

10. Pick A Fight - Goldfinger
I used to play this song time and time again. Another great pop-punk/skate-punk song.

Part 2...

and these songs are on here because they fit under one of the following: catchy/fast/intense/melodic.

1. And The Hero Will Drown - Story Of The Year

2. Heavy Metal Winner - Consumed

3. Razor Burn - Lagwagon

4. Halloween - The Misfits

5. Two Of A Kind - AFI

6. Suburban Home - Descendents

7. Everyone Is Telling Me I'll Never Win - Bracket

8. Homesick - Pennywise

9. Bring The Noise - Public Enemy ft. Anthrax

10. Power Mustache - The Vandals

the best one i've seen yet...wish i could hear it

WaspStar · 07-10-2008, 02:15 PM

One summer I tried making one of those "desert island top ten" lists. This is how it came out.

When The Time Comes (Big Audio Dynamite)

Queen Jane Approximately (Bob Dylan)

Omnibus (XTC)

Promised Land (Chuck Berry)

Another Girl, Another Planet (The Only Ones)

Fall On Me (REM)

Dear Prudence (Siouxsie & The Banshees)

Pure & Easy (The Who, Who's Next outtake version)

Femme Fatale (The Velvet Underground, mono version)

Born To Be Together (The Ronettes)

...might not be the incredibly stimulating comp I'd make today (I tried leaving off my three favorite artists to make it a bit more interesting, but I cheated a bit and snuck Dylan in), but I'd still listen to it. I obviously put no effort into sequencing it and it's rather embarrasing to admit that I like a B.A.D. song (rest assured, I hate the rest of The Globe), but hey, I managed to put The Ronettes and the Velvet Underground on the same comp.
