Wow, you brought back so many memories. Funny how we can measure time by culture and all of those past moments can become rolled into one with just the right playlist.
Rapper's delight? Respect. Btw... you;re the first person I know who would put Speed of Pain on their playlist... others either are scared of syaing they like marilyn manson, or they JUST Don't Get It.
Word.
Peace,
M.
shite that is one loonnng list...
n i see k's choice had to be there...and ofcourse the commi manifesto :p
but say, whatever happened to the depth and soul that was 'mmm bop'..lol...
i think i need to come raid ur mp3 collection ;)
Ja, I agree with Su, lets raid Saal's collection.
As long as Home - Michael Bublé is there, I am happy!
some cool sounds in this post. lots of memories too. thanks.
ps. why no Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Beastie Boys???
:)
now i couldn't put up every-single single (hence the 'inexhaustible;). I'll do a follow up post sometime.
Nirvana got represented by Heart Shaped Box. "smells like teen spirit" is just such a classic, it defies being listed.
Intergalactic - Beastie Boys.
and I quite liked what Vedder did with Last Kiss.
Damn. That's one impressive variety of music. Now I like music, but hell, it's obvious you LOVE music. More importantly, no Bollywood classics? Not that I listen to Bollywood stuff at all, but i just thought that you might!
I take it each song means something different to you?
I'm going to go work on a playlist of my life...
now single guy, you've been reading this blog for a while now, surely you must feel that you "know" me in a certain cyber-sense (but not in that biblical cyber-sense, thats just icky).
so where was i, oh yes, you've certainly garnered something of my personality from my writings, do i come across as someone with a penchant for lip-synching indian metrosexuals who gyrate hips in european cities?
i dont think so.
I'm not slamming the bollywood industry, its a phenomenon in its own right and has its place in pop-culture. I'm just not much of a fan. If i have to watch one, i'll watch one, i just wont go out of my way to.
the only indian sub-continent thing on that list is Addat by Atif Aslam, he's got a neat soft-rock kinda sound.
wow saals....awesome collection :)
well i guess u know that already after our msn chat!
Enjoy the vacation:)
what about:-
the bill withers version of 'aint no sunshine and 'black magic woman'-santana (see also 'europa' and samba di pati) from clapton perhaps 'laila', from aerosmith 'jaded'
just realised you do have 'layla', add 'give me a reason' by tracy chapman
:) santana is quintessential listening.
Ahhhh the Pixies...
Love the Pixies.
Steve~
ohhhhhh the memories!
wow saals this is beyond impressive! :)) i dug up some old stuff and reloaded my car-player after this :P
what a long fucken list :P
Zombie - The Cranberries
Carmen Queasy – Skunk Anansie Hanging By A Moment – Lifehouse
and that song by roxxette. and evanescence and staind and three doors down and breathing my lifehouse
Ahhh you know DFA 1979!!!! Just so ya know, they're Canadian!!!
I MUST ADMIT THAT THIS COLLECTIONS GOT SOME GR8 STUFF AND SOME PATHETIC STUFF,BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION.......U'D NEVA GUESS WHO?
