I don't listen to groups anymore unless the album is an evolving story (The Wall). I have created playlists and listen to these using the shuffle function.

My lastest cd burn for the commute to work:

Roxy music- A hard rain is going to fall

Outkast- Bombs over Baghdad

Monster magnet- Power Trip (I never going to work another day in my life- good Friday stuff)

XTC- Summers Cauldron (????)

The Police- Synchronicity

Great Big Sea- Consequence free (from Lamsey)

Erasure- Respect (Fun to sign along with secretly- give a little respect tooo-ohhhh meeeee!
(Co-worker told me that this guy she knew placed this song all the time, "And he wasn't even gay!" she exclaimed. Hmmmm- what was she trying to tell me- )

DMX- Party up

Coolio -Gangsta's Paradise

Bare Naked Ladies- Tonight is the night I feel asleep at the wheel (Bizarre song)

Outkast- Crumblin' Herb

Outkast- Southernplayalisticadillac

Frank Sinatra- Mack the Knife (Hey baby, it swings)

Stone Temple Pilots- Crackerman

The Alarm- Rain in the Summertime (ah, the 80s)

Tupac and Dre- California Love


Publically my friends call it eclectic, privately that's another matter.

This is a very good compilation, also with XTC. I'm impressed.

how can you mix rock and rap
great big sea then some dmx?
i wanna swear soo much but ill save some energy
its your waste of a cd

I'm actually curious as to why this would make you mad. Feel free to explain.

There is a commonality among the songs (with a couple of exceptions) , that being, they wake me up.

I find that mixing styles keeps my eardrums refreshed as they are bombarded by a wide variety of sounds.

Remember the "Hooters"? They had 1 hit album, the next album flopped because it sounded just like the first one. People ears were peaked by this original sound (the hooter), but it as it's newness wore off, so did the appeal.

Notice that most successful groups vary their sound from album to album, to keep our ears fresh.

Currently I'm listening to enigma. I like old gregorian church music and also music with a heavy beat, so I like enigma.

Blind Guardian - The Forgotten Tales, excelent album, and to start it off you get metal versions of "Mr Sandman" and "Surfin' USA"

[N£MO]

I'm listening to Tony Hawks Pro Skater4 soundtrack,its a wicked mix of rap,rock and punk.

@hobbes,i thought your list you put together was cool.I sometimes create mad play lists like that with every possible genre of music i have.I would have left off Erasure,but thats just my preference.
