The 10 Track Mixtape Thread (Song Lists Without Links Will Be Deleted)

JoelWhyRock · 05-28-2008, 08:16 PM

1. The Clash - "Clampdown"
This song just plays on all of my favorite things about my favorite band. Mick and Joe both sing, Topper busts out a great beat, and the lyrics speak of class division. The Clash's activism is what sets this song apart among their greatest.

2. Weezer - "In The Garage"
Besides the fact that it accurately describes my teenage experience thus far, there has always been something about the ridiculously high sustained guitar notes in the pop-era Weezer songs that lures me in.

3. The Beatles - "Yesterday"
This song was there for me in my saddest of times, through break-ups or deaths. The string arrangement also kicks major ass.

4. Beck - "Devil's Haircut"
I crank this up in my car and blast it out my windows anytime I just need some refreshment. It makes no difference whether or not I completely comprehend the lyrics, honestly.

5. Modest Mussorgsky, arr. Elgar Howarth - "The Great Gate of Kiev"
This is the most powerful song I've ever heard and when I played in the Indianapolis Brass Choir with it, I instantly got goosebumps. That French Horn part soars and impresses in good recordings.

6. The Temptations - "Ain't Too Proud To Beg"
The epitome of the Motown sound for me. The passion in the vocals gets me every time.

7. Queen - "Don't Stop Me Now
Every time I hear this song, I imagine Freddy standing alone on a stage and performing what amounts to a Broadway show. It's an amazingly dynamic song with all the Queen attitude.

8. Oasis - "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Each song on this list makes me sing along, but this song takes me to a different place. I always feel like I am at a live show and I just start shouting when this song.

9. The Strokes - "Reptilia"
In my belief, this is the best song in the current wave of indie rock. It's so raw and energetic and I pound the steering wheel to death to the catchy-ass drum beat.

10. Sufjan Stevens - "Chicago"
The song that made me want to get in front of a keyboard and just lightly tap the keys as I pour my soul out. Sufjan is a vastly underrated singer-songwriter.

2. Gordon Lightfoot-Carefree Highway

1. "Take the Time" - Dream Theater; one of favorite songs ever
2. "Pirates" - ELP; epic to end all

5. "Fool's in Love" - Joe Jackson; love to make fun of the dating peeps
6. "Higher Place" - Journey; draws me in every time
7. "Bat Out of Hell" - Meatloaf; basically a perfectly executed orgasm

Skateboarding/BMX/Snowboarding music...

1. Penguins And Polarbears - Millencolin
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

Why is everybody just posting tracklistings?? I wanna hear some of this stuff!!

It's not 10 tracks, but here's a 'history of classic punk' I just uploaded for my friend's brother on request (the titular 'Greg'), an overview sort of thing. It's vaguely chronological, please don't point out any of the obvious tracks I may have missed (I don't LIKE the Dead Boys). Tried to stick to the generic punk rock sound (allow the Slits and Wire) and the main movers.

I would think a good starting point for any non-punkers on the boards?

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.

Nice comp on the d/l now. How can you not like the Dead Boys? one of my favourite Punk bands

Black Rock · 06-30-2008, 05:59 PM

Just found this forum, figured this would be a good thread to start in. Here we go.

1. That Was a Crazy Game of Poker - O.A.R.

My first concert, and this song just completely awed me. It was so amazing live, and sent chills down my spine.

2. Old Dirt Hill - Dave Matthews

This song just sends you back, and really pulls you in. Feel good music. Especially good when its Dave and Tim Reynolds.

3. Fat Lip- Sum 41

My first favorite band, this was their biggest hit, and basically was all I listened to from 1st grade to 4th grade. Still listen occasionally.

4. Ramble On- Led Zeppelin

Just a great song I've loved since the first time I heard it.

5. Rooftop- Mike Perkins

Another feel good song, saw him live and it was awesome.

6. Slave to the Grind- Skidrow

In my opinion, the best metal song, and just a great jam.

7. One Love/ People Get Ready- Bob Marley & The Wailers

Just pure reggae, from the king of reggae.

8. Spies- Coldplay

Went about a year, where I was obsessed with Coldplay, and this song was my favorite of theirs. Recently picked up their new album, Viva la Vida. It's very good.

9. Flying Horses- Dispatch

Just a great song.

10. Black Rock- O.A.R.

Where my username comes from, this is a great song about a place where O.A.R. grew up, and where they could go to do whatever they needed. I have a place like this in my life, and it is just a great song.
