The only band out of those that I know is Blue Oyster Cult and I don't like them very much.

David Bazan- Please Baby, Please
Make Me- Lets Go Off A Tangent
Fire On Fire- Assanine Race
Wow, Owls!- 1989: The Best Four Years Of My Life
The Promise Ring- A Broken Tenor
The Apples In Stereo- The Code
They Might Be Giants- I Can't Hide From My Mind
Mac Lethal- Backward
Golden Triangle- Death To Fame
Andrew Jackson Jihad- Bells & Whistles

I have to admit I haven't heard of any of those artists.

The Temptations - I Can't Get Next To You
Otis Redding & Carla Thomas - Lovey Dovey
Frank Zappa - He Used To Cut The Grass
Booker T. & The MG's - Terrible Thing
The Doors - Horse Latitudes
The Dead Weather - 60 Feet Tall
Jarle Bernhoft - Fly Away

I have to say that looks a pretty solid and enjoyable list (Y) Particularly the Sabbath and Doors tunes.

Ash - On a Wave
Joy Division - Shadowplay
The Stone Roses - Made of Stone
Guru Josh Project - Infinity..
Doves - Kingdom of Rust
White Lies - To Lose my Life
The Strokes - Reptilia
Blink-182 - Adam's Song
Evanescence - My Immortal
The XX - Islands

1990!! Time for the Guru (ah ah ooh ah)
Rubbish when it came out, unspeakable now.
The Joy Division and Roses numbers are classics, among the best work of those groups.
Wonderful XX track. Find the singing slightly affected in a Kate Nash way but love the sparse instrumentation.
The Strokes and Doves tunes arent my favourites from those bands though I am a big fan of both.
White Lies leave me cold but there are worse bands out there.
Like Blink 182 and Evanescence - for shame my boy, for shame.
All in all a pretty good selection though - 7/10

Calexico - The Book And The Canal
Cocteau Twins - From The Flagstones
The Martian - Sex In Zero Gravity
The Cramps - Taboo
Swans - Trust Me
Dr Dooom - Do Not Disturb
The Beat - Noise In This World
Morrisey - November Spawned A Monster
The Creatures - Flesh
Dizzy Gillespie & His Orchestra - Ool - Ya - Koo

Good shuffle. I like Calexico, Morissey and Dizzy Gillespie in particular.

Little Richard- Send Me Some Lovin'
The Fall- What About Us?
Them Crooked Vultures- Dead End Friends
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- Iii. Sequenz - Dies Irae
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Henry Lee
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts- Crimson And Clover
Bill Haley & The Comets- R-O-C-K
Sufjan Stevens- Vito's Ordination Song
John Lennon- Working Class Hero
Rage Against The Machine- Without A Face

My favorite song of yours would probably be Working Class Hero, that's one of my favorites of Lennon. I'm also impressed by the Little Richard, few people actually listen to him considering how instrumental he was in the development of pop music. I like Nick Cave too but haven't gotten around to downloading/acquiring more of his stuff.

Seen Your Video - The Replacements
Sessao Das 10 - Raul Seixas
Martha - Tom Waits
What She Wants - Felix da Housecat
Plywood Superman - Jim White
Superheroes - Daft Punk
She Came and She Touched Me - Townes van Zandt
Stir it Up - Bob Marley and the Wailers
She Said She Said - The Beatles
Dadra - Ravi Shankar

I love me some Daft Punk and Bob Marley, don't really know any of the others besides The Beatles.

The Apex Theory - Drown Ink
Hieroglyphics - Classic
Live - The Dam at Otter Creek
Ganja Beats - Herb Is Good
DJ Krush - Zen Approach
Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart
Seal - Killer
Restoring Poetry In Music - Note To Rise
Wu-Tang Clan - Hollow Bones
Nujabes - Psychological Counterpoint

I see a lot of rap and beats/electro, which I'm cool with but I don't listen to a lot of the artists. Also I don't really like Live, or Stone Temple Pilots.

Margot & the Nuclear So and So's- Love Song For A Schuba's Bartender
The Cliks- Cry Me A River
The National- England
Madeline Ava- Two Headed Boy
Hop Along- A Drummer's Arm
The Microphones- The Moon
The Smiths- Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Devendra Banhart- There Was Sun
We Were Pirates- Little Monsters
Madeline- Lit Elephants

Wow that's a great shuffle, how can I pick a favorite?

The only one of those I'm familiar with is The Smiths and I don't like them a whole lot.

Hell Within - Interlude (God Grant Me Vengeance)
Triptykon - The Prolonging (Eparistera Daimones)
Children Of Bodom - In Your Face (Are You Dead Yet?)
Devin Towsend - The Death Of Music (Ocean Machine: Biomech)
Mors Principium Est - The Animal Within (Liberation = Termination)
Paradise Lost - Gothic (Gothic)
Mondo Generator - Unless I Can Kill (Cocaine Rodeo)
Devin Townsend - Vampolka (Synchestra)
Stone Sour - Sillyworld (Come What(ever) May)
Sarah Jezebel Deva - The Devil's Opera (A Sign Of Sublime)

Children of Bodom have their moments, Stone Sour's okay and the video there is certainly interesting (even if I'm not in the mood for that sort of thing at the moment). Has a Danny Elfman quality to it.

Beirut - My Night With the Prostitute from Marseille
The Apples in Stereo - Skyway
Collections of Colonies of Bees - Fun (#8)
Cast Recordings: "Wicked" OBC - For Good (Perf: Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth)
John Mayall - Ramblin' on My Mind
UB40 - Reefer Madness
ATB - I Don't Wanna Stop
The Who - Hall of the Mountain King
Cradle of Filth - Tiffauges

I've never really liked Cradle of Filth but I like that Beirut song. The rest I'm not that familiar with to say anything.

Her Name is Calla - Long Grass
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
The Antlers - Sylvia
Arcade Fire - Sprawl (Flatland)
La Dispute - Fall Down, Never Get Up Again
Tangled Hair - Cardpoard Hilltop
Rökkurró - Hugurinn Flögrar
Envy - Light and Solitude
As Cities Burn - New Sun
Pixies - Gigantic

^what's Rökkurró? sounds like a post rock band! oh and gigantic is a great song!

here goes mine

Rage Against the Machine - People of the sun
Eddie Vedder - Tuolumne
The Strokes - You only live once
AFI - Miss murder
Jon Brion - Down the rain
Blessthefall - Rise up
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Béla Bartók - String Quartet No. 1, In A Minor, Op. 7 - I - Lento - Attacca
The Strokes - The end has no end
Flogging Molly - The story so far.


I don't like blessthefall don't know why I have it

It is infact a post-rockish folk from iceland. Really great stuff

I like the first album by The Strokes and Flogging Molly is ok on occasion, I like Pink Floyd but haven't listened to them seriously in 5 years .The rest I don't care for.

Your Heart Breaks- 120 Proof
Lightspeed Champion- A Bridge and a Goodbye
Cobra Skulls- H.D.U.I (Honorary Discharge Under the Influence)
Steel Train- S.O.G. Burning In Hell
Bombay Bicycle Club- Magnet
Mazzy Star- She Hangs Brightly
Arcade Fire- Neighboorhood #3 (Power Out)
Mitch Hedberg- Houses
Planes Mistaken For Stars- Standing Still Fast
These United States- Ever Make You Mine

The Acrade Fire song is the only one I've heard from this list...and what a tune it is indeed. The rest I am very unfamiliar with.

01. Tortoise - Dear Grandma and Grandpa
02. Metallica - The God That Failed
03. Indochine - Some Days
04. The Cure - Closedown
05. Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Todeswunsch
06. Björk - Holographic Entrypoint
07. Britney Spears - 3
08. The Clash - Safe European Home
09. The Beatles - Good Morning Good Morning
10. Foals - Black Gold

post-rockish folk, god that sounds great, I'll google it! thanks :)

That's an eclectic list if I ever saw one. Not familiar with Tortoise, Indochine, or Soper Aeternus. I enjoy everything else aside from Britney Spears.

Beastie Boys - Girls
The Hold Steady - We Can Get Together
The Police - Spirits in the Material World
At the Drive-In - Napoleon Solo
Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing
The Fall of Troy - Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles
Straylight Run - The Miracle That Never Came
REM - Living Well is the Best
Dire Straits - One World
Modest Mouse - Invisible

Never heard quite a few of the entries on your list (but then I've missed out on a lot of band and have a lot of catching up to do, and that's OK), so I can't comment on most of it.

Beastie Boys's Girls ...damn, I used to listen to that album a lot. No sleep till Brooklyn was my favourite track.
The Police's Spirits in the Material World - ah, memories!
I never really bothered with Dire Straits.
REM - sorry ... I believe I'm the only person in the universe who really doesnt get what the fuss is about them. I'll go and hide, don't mind me.

All the other names are on my "need to get hold of if I can" list....

Now for my list - I have to say, my ipod has only a small, not entirely representative, selection of my bigger music collection on it, and I strongly suspect the shuffle function is not as random as it could be.

Sorry, can't resist commenting on what came up, or is that against the rules?

1. Nine Ninch Nails - Piggy (Pretty good)
2. Cop Shoot Cop - Got No Soul ("Will you people please stop jumping under my train" - the lyrics are pure gold! )
3. Nine Inch Nail - Sanctified (That bass!)
4. Firewater - 7th Avenue Static (Really pretty good)
5. Cop Shoot Cop - System Test (Eeeek - that's from some bootleg, and pretty much unlistenable, much as I love these guys)
6. Cop Shoot Cop - Triumphal Theme (Just...um, that one)
7. Echo and the Bunnymen - No Dark Things (Cardiac arrest of a song)
8. Certain General - Will you (Can you say epic?)
9. Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (So glad this came up - classic pop at its best)
10. BRMC - Love Burns (Not the best song on the album this is from, but on the other hand, there isn't a single bad song on that album)

Comments are always welcome! :thumb: List looks good overall, even if I'm not familiar with Cop Shoot Cop or Echo and the Bunnymen's music, I don't have any bias against them. The NIN and Pet Shop Boys tracks are great. I've heard one album from Firewater and it didn't do much for me, and have never heard of Certain General.

I'm not shuffling last now but I'll post the last 10 tracks I shuffled at home last night:

Stevie Wonder – Higher Ground (excellent classic song)
Tages – Mohair Sam (nice psych pop from this Swedish band no one seems to know)
Foscil – House Party (great Seattle-based instrumental hip-hop ensemble)
The Smoke – You Can't Catch Me (another nice 60s psych pop track)
The Black Heart Procession – Square Heart (one of my favorites from them)
KMD – F*@# Wit' Ya Head (feat. CMOB and Hard 2 Obtain) (some hip-hop I recently picked up, early MF DOOM project)
Dilute – Queer Dork Song (sort of mathy and post-hardcore indie rock)
Blockhead – Do the Tron (great instrumental hip-hop track)
Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez – Melting Chariots (pretty decent jam from ATDI/Mars Volta guitarist)
Skinny Puppy – Politikil (meh - I love SP but the material from their 2 reunion albums is quite sub-par)

this morning on the news they talked about some guy in NYC who saved somebody from being hit by a train...he said he did because he did not want to be late for work.....immediately this song popped in my head




what can you say about somebody who has underground hip-hop mixed with great indie rock and then ends it with ****ing SKINNY PUPPY....perfect maybe?

i love the idea of commenting on your own tracks :)

Kraftwerk - Music Non Stop[Moscow] (9+ minutes of the best electronic music ever produced)
Neither/Neither World - Our Devil's Cave (dark brooding and Wendy's voice is exactly how i imagine Satan to sound like)
The Jesus Lizard - Monkey Trick[live] (this is one of many Jesus Lizard songs where David Wm. Sims's bass playing out shines the incredible "vocals" by David Yow)
Magik Markers - The Lighter Side Of...Hippies (one of my new favorite bands....its just wonderful like a rock in a cop's face)
The Angels Of Light - The Man We Left Behind (warm like a heated blanket at the hospital)
God Bullies - Follow The Leader ("oh my children there is no hope, lt's go to heaven in a big row boat"...this band is why i LOVE noise)
Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang 7th Chamber (first the little skit is hilarious....what can i say this album is ****ing gold)
Luftwaffe - Apostate De Veritas (....yeah this is very much the soundtrack of the end of the world)
Leonard Cohen - Chelsea Hotel (this is from the live album released this year....man his voice still chills me to the bone)
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me realise (this is the stuff i just love by MBV....a little less droney and little more rock...amazing jagged guitar work)

Oh, that's brilliant! (Sadly, I can totally relate to that.)

Incredible voice, incredibly beautiful song. I just remembered that album had been on my to buy list, so off in my Amazon basket it went - thanks for that! :D

I wish I listened to more of this stuff, I've heard of a lot of it but never got around to really listening, especially MBV. Plus I like the comment on your own shuffle idea too.

Spoon- Well Alright (A nice upbeat offering from them, from the very solid Dark Was The Night compilation)
Bob Dylan- Isis (His lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard, no doubt about it)
CunninLynguists- Dance For Me (Despite the terrible band name, they are really great, wonderful sample in the beginning of this song too)
Wolf Parade- Palm Road (Off their newest album, I tend to prefer Krug's songs over Boeckner's but he's still pretty aweseome)
Mitch Hedberg- Tomatoes (This guy is hilarious)
Balkan Beat Box- Baharim (Worldish music that I have to be in the mood for to enjoy)
The Fratellis- Creeping Up The Backstairs (Acoustic) (I've been listening to them a lot more lately, surprising how good they are)
Stay Ahead Of The Weather- Sorority Social Suicide (I just got this ep about a week ago and have only listened to it once, but from the one listen it's pretty rad)
Les Savy Fav- Appetites (Not as experimental as their other stuff, but it's still pretty cool punk nonetheless)
Blackbird Raum- Coal (These guys are awesome, they play a very rowdy and exciting brand of folk-punk)

^ I like both Krugs and Boeckners songs but I think Boeckners Handsome Furs songs are sometimes better than his Wolf Parade ones.

I like Les Savy Fav and some Spoon, haven't listened to or heard of the others.

Pinback – Seville
Paul White – Looking Out To See
Tortoise – Almost Always Is Nearly Enough
PlatEAU – Peacemaker
Neil Landstrumm – Transmission (with Si Begg)
Glenn Danzig – The Morrigu
Pink Floyd – The Gunner's Dream
MC 900 Ft Jesus - But If You Go
Misfits - Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight (Live)
DMX Krew - Pixel Wrap
Volcano Suns - Local Wise Man

Not commenting on my list this time, but my favorite is bold, some dope Tuss/Aphex-style acid techno. I enjoyed them all. Threw in a bonus track because I haven't shut it off yet.

Can't go wrong with classic Misfits. Pinback, Tortoise, Danzig, and Pink Floyd are sweet even I not a very avid listening of them (though Pink Floyd's get more ear time).

Aphex Twin - Fingerbib
Sleater-Kinney - The Fox
Aarktica - Summer Tabla Dub
Bikini Machine - Climax
Siren On - Violent Poetry
Don Caballero - The Peter Criss Jazz
Ladytron - True Mathematics
The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
Say Anything - It's a Metaphor Fool
Henry Rollins - Late Night Phone Blues

I've recently gotten into Aphex Twin and Don Cab courtesy of this forum, great stuff. That Temper Trap track is so overplayed and overpraised though, I feel like there were several tracks on the same album that were stronger. Tried to get into Say Anything... couldn't. The rest I'm unfamiliar with.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'
Taizo Takemoto - Brinstar Depths (From Smashing....Live!, the live Super Smash Bros album)
Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio (effin love this track)
Melvins - Copache
A Tribe Called Quest - Buggin' Out (effin love this track too. Oh, Dave Mirra 2.)
Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne
Alkaline Trio - Burn
The Flashbulb - Steel for Pappa
of Montreal - Heimsdalgate or some ****ing stupid song title
The Helio Sequence - Looks Good (But You Looked Away)

great shuffle this time, wow.

That's the only Temper Trap song I have and I'm honestly not very familiar with it. As for Say Anything, I like about three songs from the one album and an EP I have so I can certainly see the lack of appeal. Nice one on Melvins and Smashing Live! btw.

I like that Of Montreal track, and Leonard Cohen, and A Tribe Called Quest, however I don't care for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine or Alkaline Trio, I don't know the other 4.

Freelance Whales- Kilojoules
Shearwater- Home Life
Charlotte Sometimes- AEIOU
Cursive- Mama, I'm Satan
Andrew Belle- Make It Without You
Glint- Gem
Socratic- Janis Joplin Hands
Loney, Dear- Harsh Words
The Clash- Wrong 'Em Boyo
Bishop Allen- Oklahoma
Pavement- We Dance

I like Shearwater and Pavement but I've never really liked The Clash.
I was actually checking out Loney Dears Citadel band Lp the other day in my local record shop. It caught my attention since it has the bands name written with sign language alphabet and I'm studying to become a sign language interpreter. I had never listened to the guy before, but I had to check him out since the album cover was so cool. I now like him, but I haven't listened to Dear John yet. I assume that track is good sice I've liked pretty much all his other songs that I've heard.


We All Inherit the Moon - Part V
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Motherfucker=Redeemer
Spawn from Deceit - De-Tribute
The Knife - Behind the Bushes
Bohren & der Club of Gore - Crimson Ways
Pg.lost - Maquina
Suis La Lune - With Wings of Feathers and Glue
Refused - Liberation Frequence
Red Sparowes - Alone and Unaware...(I'm too lazy to write the whole song name)
Jose González - Save Your Day

I Love Godspeed and The Knife...I've heard only a bit of Red Sparowes, but like what I've heard. Must get more of their stuff. Not too familiar with the rest.

01. U2 - Summer Rain
02. Tina Turner - It's Only Love
03. David Bowie - Lady Grinning Soul
04. Alizée - Tempête
05. Tom Petty - The Waiting
06. Biosphere - Ancient Campgire
07. Mariah Carey - My All
08. Shakira - La Pared
09. Sinéad O'Connor - Empire, Bomb The Bass
10. Madonna - Nothing Fails

Not a big fan of a lot of those bands on that list, I especially dislike Madonna and U2.

Grand Archives- Oslo Novelist
Rosa- Chapel Hill
The Libertines- Can't Stand Me Now
The Field Mice- Emma's House
Portugal. The Man- The Sun
Grand Archives- Siren Echo Valley (Part 2)
M83- Dark Moves of Love
Jack Peñate- We Will Be Here
The Decemberists- The Mariner's Revenge Song
Justin Townes Earle- What I Mean To You

I hate when it shuffles two songs from the same album.

I like David Bowie, but the rest I either don't like or haven't really listened to.

The Kinks- A Gallon of Gas
Al Green- I'm Still In Love With You
Samuel L. Jackson- Ezekiel 25:17 [Dialogue]
Frank Zappa- Hungry Freaks, Daddy
Cracker- Dr. Bernice
Radiohead- You Never Wash Up After Yourself
The Rolling Stones- Let It Loose
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros- Burnin' Streets
Modest Mouse- Alone Down There
Cesaria Evora- Partida (Departure)

edit: whoops. Decemberists are good, but I'm not really familiar with the rest. Libertines are decent I guess.

That Rolling Stones track is great, and Modest Mouse have their moments, though I'm not familiar with "Alone Down There". I'm a little curious as to why you have Samuel L. Jackson dialogue on your mp3 player or w/e you're using.

The Devin Townsend Project - Gato (Ki)
Powerman 5000 - Super Villian (Somewhere On The Other Side Of Nowhere)
Strapping Young Lad - Oh My ****ing God (The Chaos Years)
Slayer - Catatonic (Christ Illusion)
Lamb Of God - Hourglass (Ashes Of The Wake)
Bloodbath - Trail Of Insects (Resurrection Through Carnage)
Korn - Embrace (Untouchables)
Dimmu Borgir - The Maelstrom Mephisto (Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia)
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Greatest Hits)
Powerman 5000 - Blast Off To Nowhere (Tonight The Stars Revolt!)

Sabbath I dig, and Slayer if I'm in the right frame of mind. And admittedly, I'll pit on the latter PM5K album there if I'm in a nostalgic sort of mood. Overall, not my bag, though.

Tom Waits - Georgia Lee
The Shins - Weird Divide
Faun Fables - Old and Light
Jandek - The Places You Left Me: Part Six
Pacific! - Hot Lips
Pantha Du Prince - Behind the Stars
Dolorean - Holding On
Two Dollar Guitar - Blue Coat and Yellow Vest
The Sex Pistols - Holidays in the Sun
Scarnella - A Millennium Fever Ballad

I like the Shins and Tom Waits, and I've always been curious about Jandek. I don't care for the Sex Pistols and the rest I don't know.

Bishop Allen- Charm School
Guided By Voices- Peep Hole
Another Sunny Day- Impossible
The Decemberists- The Rake's Song
Sufjan Stevens- Chicago (Acoustic)
Tender Forever- No One Will Tell No One For Sure
Deerhunter- Green Jacket
Jack Peñate- Made Of Codes
We Landed On The Moon!- Boats
Bill Callahan- Eid Mah Clack Shaw

I had to cheat, I couldn't decide what my favorite was (I could have even bolded 2 more, it was that awesome of a shuffle)

Thanks! What's your favorite piece from Smashing Live? Coincidentally, Brinstar Depths is my favorite; not only because it's a great composition, but because I played through all 3 Metroid Prime games and it really packs some nostalgia.

It's from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, which is interspersed with bits of dialogue from the movie. It's a really great soundtrack, very diverse. I'd recommend it.

I like me some Decemberists, but not really keen on the rest I'm afraid.

The Meteors - I'm Just a Dog
Dr Feelgood - All Through the City
Cannonball Adderly - Bangoon
The Saints - L.I.E.S.
The Ruts - Criminal Mind
Robert Fripp - Evensong Coda: Viljandi
Smog - Rock Bottom Riser
Gomez - Shot Shot
Peaches & Herb - I Need Your Love So Desperately
Lissie - Cuckoo

A good mix in general. While I'm not overly familiar with anything there, there isn't anything I don't like. Gomez especially is good.

The Flaming Lips- A Machine In India
The Jimi Hendrix Experience- Purple Haze
CAKE- It's Coming Down
Broken Social Scene- It's All Gonna Break
Eminem- 'Till I Collapse
Buddy Holly- Rock Around With Ollie Vee
Tool- Wings For Marie (Pt. 1)
The Pretenders- Boots of Chinese Plastic
The Beatles- Martha My Dear
Buddy Holly- Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

My shuffles are always so boring.

The only ones that really do it for me on there are Purple Haze and Wings For Marie (10,000 Days is one of my favorite Tool albums).

The Agonist - Swan Lake (A Capella) (Lullabies For The Dormant Mind)
Droid - Salt The Graves (S/T)
White Zombie - Blur The Technicolor (Astro Creep: 2000)
Slayer - Cult (Christ Illusion)
Slayer - Flesh Storm (Christ Illusion)
Shining - The Madness And The Damage Done, Pt. 1 (Blackjazz)
Korn - Bottled Up Inside (Untouchables)
Hate Times Nine - Sever The Ties (Shadows)
Slayer - Necrophobic (Reign In Blood)
Blue Oyster Cult - This Ain't The Summer Of Love (Best Of...)

Decent shuffle; lots of Slayer, a badass Shining song, and one of my favorite BOC songs. + a reminder that I really need to get some new tunes on my iPod.
