The 10 Song Shuffle

dollarsandcents · 08-05-2009, 05:14 AM

Not sure if this has been done on this forum, but anyway, couldn't be simpler.

1) Grab your iPod or preferred medium of playing music.

2) Put ALL of the said device onto shuffle/random (no missing out that embarrassing record).

3) List the first 10 songs that come up in order.

4) Highlight in bold your favourite of the selection.

5) Next person comments on your list to make it interactive and initiate banter/mocking of the above persons list. Comment on your favourite song from the list, simply state that you've never heard any of that junk or ridicule the fact that a 20+ male has a Britney Spears song on their iPod.

Anyway I'll start us off, enjoy!

Radiohead - Pyramid Song
The Dø - Aha
Method Man - 4:20
Madlib - Full Figure Pockets (Pay Jay)
Sage Francis - Runaways
Onra & Quetzal - Ya Fohi (interlude)
Johnny Cash - Would You Lay WIth Me (In A Field Of Stone)
Sonic Youth - Star Power
Raphael Saadiq - Never Give You Up
Lush - Sunbathing

Easy choice for my favourite, don't think that playlist would play too smoothly.

i've never heard anything by radiohead so i don't really have an opinion on your favorite, but as far as the rest it's a solid list.
the highlights being: johnny cash, method man, and madlib.

error by bygones
the experience of and by osceola
life was real. vital. important/bum guts by kidcrash
the final hour by MF DOOM
evil gypsy/solomon's theme by sleep
greyskull by la quiete
gas drawls by MF DOOM
potholderz by MF DOOM
blue note interlude by madlib
fantastic by slum village

wow.

I like doing this, let's see what happens

The Avalanche- Sufjan Stevens
I Take All the Blame- Tegan and Sara
Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?- The Hold Steady
I Ran (So Far Away)- Tegan and Sara
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song- Fleet Foxes
Neon Jesus- Crocodiles
Raid- Madvillain
No More Tears- Andrew Jackson Jihad
Two Headed Boy- Neutral Milk Hotel
No Other Way- Jack Johnson

That was a tough choice for my favorite, all these songs are great.

EDIT: The above person really seems to like MF DOOM, which is quite understandable, because he is a very skilled emcee. The rest of the stuff I haven't heard of.

Black Flag - Police Story
The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit
The Cure - Icing Sugar
Mudhoney - You Got It
Stiff Little Fingers - Bits Of Kids
Janes Addiction - Up The Beach
Tool - Parabol
The Cure - If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
Boards Of Canada - Beware The Friendly Stranger
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love

Touch choice for my favourite but i went with this one. Slightly confusing song title but it's a cracking song
