If you can only keep 25 songs
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 5. Bob Dylan - Hurricane 6. Elliott Smith - A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to Be Free 7. Violent Femmes - American Music 8. Nina Simone - Sinnerman 9. Wilco - Kamera 10. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth 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 16. Led Zeppelin - Travelling Riverside Blues 17. Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song 18. The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma 19. Massive Attack - Angel 20. The White Stripes - Truth Doesn't Make A Noise 21. The Strokes - Under Control 22. Interpol - Evil 23. Rilo Kiley - Better Son/Daughter 24. The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes 25. Pixies - Where is My Mind? |
