If you can only keep 25 songs
 

And only listen to these 25 for the rest of your life, what are the 25 you select for your eternity?

Me (The #'s mean nothing other than a way for me to keep count):

1. Foo Fighters - "Everlong"
2. Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris"
3. Incubus - "Vitamin"
4. Incubus - "Deep Inside"
5. Live - "Lightning Crashes"
6. Audiovent - "Underwater Silence"
7. Forty Foot Echo - "Save Me"
8. Blindside - "Pitiful"
9. Sting - "Ghost Story"
10. Coldplay - "In My Place"
11. Course of Nature - "Caught in the Sun"
12. Finch - "What is it to Burn?"
13. Tool - "Lateralus"
14. Fuel - "Hemorrhage"
15. Fuel - "Shimmer"
16. Ill Nino - "What Comes Around"
17. Radiohead - "Paranoid Android"
18. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Under the Bridge"
19. Staind - "Epiphany"
20. Unwritten Law - "Seeing Red"
21. Smashing Pumpkins - "Disarm"
22. The Offspring - "Self Esteem"
23. Jimmy Eat World - "The World We Love"
24. Trick Turner - "Sacrifice"
25. Snow Patrol - "Run"


The whole point of me doing this is I'm hoping to see a few other lists where I can say "that person looks like they have similar tastes as me" and then see some of their listed songs that perhaps I haven't heard of. I am guessing there are a couple people on this board who would look at my list and say "that doesn't look bad" and at the same time not be familiar with a few of the songs.

Likewise, since I like a wide-variety of music I'd like to take from lists that I am totally unfamiliar with, too.


As soon as I got to about #18 it started getting really difficult to prioritize. For instance nothing from Sevendust made the cut. I like them a lot. Additionally even though on the overall whole I prefer alternative and heavy metal more than light sounding rock I'm surprised at how many soft, relaxing songs I chose. Moreover, if I had my 6 cds worth of collected classical music I think 1 or 2 of those songs would have made it, but as it is those are at my parents house and I can't recall what I'd choose from that.

Alright, let me have yours if you dare.

RHCP Under the Bridge is the only song that would make my top 25.

Re: If you can only keep 25 songs
 

the only one of your songs that might make my top 100 is Iris. unfortunately i'm too lazy to make a list myself so you won't be able to make fun of my selections but i commend you for taking the time and spilling your heart to make the list for yourself.

The one thing I liked about Schneids's list is that it didn't include The Rolling Stones.

You suck.
