If you can only keep 25 songs

[jason_t]

I was looking over this great thread started by Schneids in February. The original premise was to assume you could only listen to these 25 for the rest of your life and select the 25 for your eternity. I looked over my old list from that thread and noticed that my current list of 25 is pretty different from my original 25. Also, OOT has grown a lot since the original thread. So I want to do it again.

What are the 25 you select for your eternity?

Here's my new list where I tried to select my 25 more carefully and not based on what I'm currently listening to a lot.

1. Radiohead - Idioteque
2. Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945
3. The Shins - New Slang
4. Iron & Wine - Sodom, South Georgia

11. Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
12. Cake - Pretty Pink Ribbon
13. Aimee Mann - Save Me
14. Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying
15. John Lee Hooker - I'm In The Mood

More that I considered.

I'd like to say that I think Say It Aint So is a better song than Photograph, but Photograph is better car music and I miss blasting music in a car with the windows down.

Halo Benders - Don't Touch My Bikini
Jay Z- Change Clothes
Slug - God's Bathroom Floor

Company Flow - Krazy Kings
Cannibal Ox - The F Word

Of all the lists, if i had to live with only these songs i would kill myself. Mostly due to Disorder - Joy Division is the only one i could listen to.

I think Ocean Colour Scene - Riverboat song, Doves - Pounding/Sea Song, Hendrix - Machine Gun/Sunshine of your love and Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank would be enough for me right now.

The 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is the best piece of music in history. It's not really a 'song,' though, so where does that leave me? Is it listworthy, or am I to suffer through eternity never again hearing it?

The 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is the best piece of music in history. It's not really a 'song,' though, so where does that leave me? Is it listworthy, or am I to suffer through eternity never again hearing it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd say you have to pick one recording of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

imo, the Carlos Kleiber/Wiener Philharmonic recording of the 5th and 7th on DG is peerless.

[jason_t]

Solid.

[B Dids]

jason,

for somebody who I know listened to mostly classical for most of his life, I'm surprised by how little classical is on your list.

[xorbie]

I'm gonna stick to one song per group, but it's tough because a lot of these songs are part of albums that work great together.

1. Savior (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
2. Roulette Dares (The Mars Volta)
3. Maybe You Can Owe Me (Architecture in Helsinki)
4. Room With a View (Brother Ali)
5. Never Let You Down (Kanye West)
6. Over and Out (Foo Fighters)
7. Stockholm Syndrome (Muse
8. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
9. Disarm (The Smashing Pumpkins)
10. One (Sunny Day Real Estate)
11. Happiness is a Warm Gun (Beatles)
12. Blind Man's Arrow (Appleseed Cast)
13. Hate in a Puddle (Illogic)
14. Killing in the Name (Rage Against The Machine)
15. Float On (Modest Mouse)
16. The Bagman's Gambit (The Decembrists)
17. Jesus of Suburbia (Green Day)
18. Something Sigor Ros (I need to listen more closely to actually pick one)
19. Believe Me Natalie (The Killers)
20. Cello Song (Nick Drake)
21. Two Points For Honesty (Guster)
22. Now We Are Free (Gladiator Soundtrack)
23. Affirmative Action (Nas)
24. The Cure (Non Prophets)
25. How Near, How Far (Trail of Dead)

Good multi-tabling music.

Also, it's not technically one song.. and I don't even think it's one track (but I don't have the original CD).

If I started putting classical music on my list I'm afraid my entire list would be classical music. Then I wouldn't be able to converse with most people in this forum about my selections.

what the hell is this? is this a real song or just a detroit remake?

I know I would add to my original list:

"River Dance" either by the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra or Boston Pops. I think probably the Japanese because the song is very technical and they are better at that.

"Better Days" Goo Goo Dolls
