Better than Boris' thread... make your own mix!

[Zero]

Bah Boris, why take an album if you can make your own mix!

List approximately 15 - 18 songs you might want to take with you. Make sure it fits approximately into one CD. (about 15 - 18). If your considering to take 9th symphony 4th movement, take the length of that piece into account yourself.

[ixnay]

Songs I could listen to repeatedly:

Filter - Welcome to the Fold (7:40)
311 - Flowing (3:14)
Chevelle - Send the Pain Below (4:12)
Me First & the Gimme Gimmes - Phantom of the Opera Song (1:45)
Kemuri - Kanasimiyo (2:04)
The Offspring - Come out Swinging (2:47)
Less Than Jake - All My Best Friends Are Metalheads (3:31)
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (3:47)
Gorillaz - 19-2000 [Soulchild Remix] (3:30)
Face to Face - I Won't Lie Down (3:17)
Lostprophets - Shinobi vs. Dragonninja (2:47)
The Brilliant Green - Yeah I Want You Baby (2:34)
NOFX - The Decline (18:18)

311 is a great band, I'd choose "I'll be here awhile" from teh album From Chaos altho I like flowing. I have a habit of listening to that song when I am waiting for the bus or something.

Weezer's "The world has turned and left me here" would be a great lyric for my situation too ...

If you mean Beethoven, that could really be tough:

Furtwangler: 24:26
Solti: 22:15
Von Karajan: FOR****INGEVER

[Ramo]

CCR - "Susie Q"
Bad Religion - "Generator"
Janis Joplin - "Kozmic Blues"
Bob Dylan - "Mr. Tambourine Man"
The Rolling Stones - "Sympathy for the Devil"
Dead Kennedys - "Kill the Poor"
Muddy Waters - "Got My Mojo Working"
Metallica - "Fade to Black"
John Lennon - "Imagine"
The Ramones - "Judy is a Punk"
Beethoven - "Moonlight Sonata"
B.B. King - "The Thrill is Gone"
Nirvana - "Love Buzz"
Bob Seger - "Old Time Rock and Roll"
Velvet Underground - "Heroin"
Led Zeppelin - "You Shook Me"
Tool - "Aenema"

This would barely fit in an 80 minute CD.
