A mix tape to make for a girl or what is the criteria exactly?

that's a great point; do you want me to impress and intimidate you with my musical prowess or am I wanting to cuddle later?

Just one band? Easy: The Who.

Another one: The Allman Brothers.

How about another? The White Stripes.

shit, I really didn't think this was that complicated.  I've heard all of this bands songs and here comes my awesome mix for the world.

Chumbawamba (This mix should...get you layed/dancing naked/thinking about the meaning of death...etc. etc.  )

1. Knocked Down
2.

etc. etc. 

Tenacious D

F*ck Her Gently
Tribute
Wonderboy
Karate
Classico
Double Team
They F***ed Our Asses
Cock Pushups
Dude I Totally Miss You
Kielbasa
Rize of the Fenix
Beezleboss (Final Showdown)

This will win any woman over in a heart beat...

Thank You!!  well done

Haha, I'll make a legitimate one tomorrow when I don't have so much homework to do.

I like this!   It will take some work and some thinking though.....

Ok, I'll handle the monolith...

The Beatles

1. Something
2. Happiness Is A Warm Gun
3. Rocky Racoon
4. Lady Madonna
5. Revolution 1
6. Nowhere Man
7. A Day In The Life

10. You Never Give Me Your Money
11. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
12. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
13. Mean Mr.Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came in Through The Bathroom Window/Golden Slumbers/Carry The Weight/The End


I realized once I started that maybe I bit off more than I could chew.  Yeah, I cheated on #13 a little, but it's really one continuous song, plus, there's really no other way to end it for me.

Can I do an 8 Track?

fuuuuuuuck!!!!

THIS SUCKS BAD!!!!

I swear I tried, Rush is just awful.
It's like they are Trying to make it a point to jack off in the face of all rock music.   
I don't care how "skilled" they are, they just sound sterile and contrived to me.

In one word Rush is "WANKY" to me....at least at this point in my life.

It's OK. I have friends who say the same thing about Pearl Jam.

Rush is sort of the exact opposite of Pearl Jam.  Never thought of it until just now.  Mental masturbation vs. emotional masturbation.

Before you dismiss Rush out of hand, you have to check out their DVDs. They always do a tonne of supplemental filming for their DVDs that is totally hilarious.

Early Rush like Tom Sawyer and Closer to the Heart are imprinted on my psyche, as a Canadian, tho I don't necessarily love their entire catalogue. But they are prog geniuses. It's like a rock version of jazz: a bit cerebral, a bit arty, a lot technically proficient. I wouldn't compare it to Pearl Jam or similar since that's like comparing apples and bananas. Of course, some people just don't like apples! 

I have really fond memories of guys in denim jackets with Rush patches, sporting long hair with grown out bangs and tight jeans ice skating to late 70s/early 80s prog rock at the local rec centre. It's a really Canadian kinda thing.

leanne, don't take ole Sweatboard seriously.  He prefers his music with either Eddie Vedder or crying men in it.

The documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage left all my "arguing" about Rush in the past. To see so many credible musicians and celebrities talk about the heart and soul of the music didn't change my view of the band or myself, etc...it just made it all crystal clear how silly it is to argue about music.

Matt Stone puts it quite eloquently:

You are so right exist!  I was debating on doing a Luna or Galaxie mix but settled on Guided By Voices.  Tough to narrow their collection down to 13 songs but here is my attempt at it:

Guided By Voices:

1.   Big Boring Wedding
2.   I Am A Scientist
3.   Now To War   
4.   Blimps Go 90
5.   Motor Away
6.   Official Ironman Rally Song
7.   Acorns &  Orioles
8.   Watch Me Jumpstart
9.   I Am A Tree
10. To Remake The Young Flyer
11. Run Wild
12. Liquid Indian
13. Don't Stop Now

Wow, what a weird list for a GBV mixed tape. I like them a lot, as you can probably tell by my username. I would never think to have a song like Liquid Indian in there. I am pretty fussy on my GBV, saw them 37 times between 1995 and their final show in Chicago (pre-reunion) and my tape would absolutely have to include these

Over the Neptune / Mesh Gear Fox (this would be the first song for sure)
Psychic Pilot Clocks out

Liquid Indian is just a song I have always liked so that's why it made my list.  :beer:

As for your suggestions, like I said, hard to narrow down 13 songs from their vast collection of music...

I made this Wilco mix for a friend who is a (progressive/non-traditional) minister, so the songs/lyrics were handpicked to pique his interest on topics I know are meaningful to him.  It's not my ultimate Wilco mix.


Wilco
Ashes Of American Flags
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

Yes, lolz here too.  My friends would have said the same about me circa 2003.  Let's just say I bought a glossy picture of EV, framed it, hung it on the wall...then realized it was weird and made it look like I thought he was my long lost brother or something...promptly stashed it under my bed...then that weirded me out too (like, "really, I'm hiding a picture of Eddie Vedder under my bed?  what?"...I have no idea where that picture went...I think I took it to Goodwill or something!

I remember where I was when I first realized he was saying "We're all accidents waiting to happen" at the end of There There and had an out of body experience.

• Soon to be ex Quaker
• You Are Invited

I've always felt this band needs to have a primer because if you hear the wrong song first it just sounds like noise.

Some of my favorite lines in all of music are from There There, and I quote it all the time.

- There's always a siren, singing you to shipwreck...
- Steer away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster...

Fat Old Sun
Have a Cigar
Dogs
In the Flesh
Comfortably Numb
Shine On (I - V)
Brain Damage
Eclipse

My Morning Jacket, my second true love: (I avoided any covers due to the limited amount of songs, and I made the most mind-blowing 13 song set I could dream up)

The Dark
Lay Low
Anytime
O Is The One That Is Real
Xmas Curtain
I Will Sing You Songs
I Think I'm Going To Hell
Strangulation
Run Thru
Smokin' From Shootin'

My RUSH mixtape of 13 songs is probably around 3 hours long

1. Fountains of Lamneth
2. Jacob's Ladder
3. La Villa Strangiato
4. Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres
5. Xanadu
6. Camera Eye
7. Cygnus X-1 Book I
8. YYZ
9. By-tor and the Snowdog
10. The Necromancer
11. Working Man
12. Natural Science
13. 2112

:bath:  It doesn't get any better than this Sweatboard!

That is the ultimate Rush set, but I would prefer Spirit of the Radio over maybe Natural Science.

Here is my Wilco, but I just started listening to them about two weeks ago and I am yet to own Summer Teeth, Whole Love and Wilco

Spiders (Kidsmoke)
Misunderstood
I'm The Man Who Loves You
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
At Least That's What You Said (Maybe my favorite song from them so far)
Via Chicago
Jesus, Etc.
Impossible Germany
Sunken Treasure
Ashes Of American Flags
Hell Is Chrome
Theologians
Heavy Metal Drummer

This is a fun exercise, but also brutally difficult.

Radiohead

1. Reckoner
2. Everything In It's Right Place
3. Gagging Order
4. Planet Telex
5. Nude
6. Dollars & Cents
7. There There
8. Fake Plastic Trees
9. The National Anthem
10. Optimistic
11. A Punchup At A Wedding
12. Lotus Flower
13. Paranoid Android

Pairing it from even 20 'musts' was brutal.

I love that you put Punchup at a Wedding on here.  Such a great and seemingly under appreciated song in their catalog. 

Here is a real Ween Mix I made for a friend to get into Ween, it's not 13 but it all fit on a cd:

Fiesta
Touch My Tooter
Freedom of 76
Buckingham Green
Hey There Fancypants
Piss Up a Rope
Flutes of Chi
It's Gonna be a Long Night
I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight
Mr. Would You Please Help My Pony
Captain
It's Gonna be Alright
Transdermal Celebration
Even if you Don't
I'm Holding You
Chocolate Town
Waving My Dick in the Wind
Bananas and Blow
Sweetheart
the Mollusk
Zoloft
Ocean Man
Your Party
With My Own Bare Hands

3. Unconsciously Screamin'   (In a Priest Driven Ambulance)

7. Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus With Needles   (Clouds Taste Metallic)
8. Superhumans    (Transmissions from the Satellite Heart)
9. Frogs   (Hit to Death in the Future Head)
10. The Ceiling Is Bendin'   (Oh My Gawd!!)
11. Lightning Strikes the Postman   (Clouds Taste Metallic)
12. Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung   (At War with the Mystics)
13. Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World   (Clouds Taste Metallic)

I also have a "Mostly Later and Nice Flaming Lips Mix," but it's 18 tunes and I can't take enough out. Why 13, sweatboard, why?

Love that Luna stuff, exist10z.

Really cool mostly early Flaming Lips mix, though I would have switched out a couple of songs to be able to include Five Stop Mother Superior Rain and Halloween on the Barbary Coast.

Black Country Rock would have been on mine as well, my favorite less known Bowie song.

ahh, didn't see the 13 song limit.  don't even go to my earlier Ween list.  waaaayyyyy over. 

exist10z bravely took on the Beatles and did a fine job (although I raise an eyebrow to his choice of Rocky Raccoon  :grin:)  so I'll take on the Stones, even harder because they have five decades of stuff to represent.  This is probably too much of a "greatest hits" mix and too obvious to be hip and cool, but I still think its some of their strongest songs/performances.  Too frickin' hard!

Honky Tonk Women
Tumbling Dice

Gimme Shelter

excellent, someone mentioned The White Stripes but no mix was done. Now I have something to do for the next 15 minutes...BRB

this was a pretty quick one where I just grabbed some of my personal favorites and a couple of classics

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Hello Operator
Do
Same Boy You've Always Known
Wasting My Time
Death Letter (has to be the Peel Sessions Death Letter)
Forever for Her (Is Over for Me)
I Fought Piranhas
Truth Doesn't Make a Noise
Jolene
A Martyr For My Love for You
300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues
Seven Nation Army

I tried to cover their discography here, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't put anything from Get Behind Me Satan on a mix for someone. 

If you haven't heard the Peel Sessions version of Death Letter:

I once made a 3 disc Pink Floyd Greatest Hits that took one song from every album for each of three main themes:

I don't believe you could have listened to all your RUSH in 15 hours.  however I imagine a single fountain has the potential to be more majestic because of its singularity.
Just don't tell jon t. that I spelled Manziel with two Ls to pay homage to his nickname which I believe ends in two Ls unless you were in Spain or Mexico or something and then there wouldn't be two Ls and the bad joke wouldn't work.

Can I do an 8 Track?

(http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Houston-RUSH-Ride/i-4GvH5M5/0/L/Rush%208%20Track-L.jpg)

1. Working Man
2. Fly By Night
3. Bastille Day
4. Closer to the Heart
5. The Trees
6. La Villa Strangiato
7. The Spirit of Radio
8. Freewill
9. Tom Sawyer
10. Limelight
11. Subdivisions
12. New World Man
13. Between the Wheels

I listened to a bunch of Rush this AM and it sounded so good!  Its my brother's bday and he's seeing them in San Diego tonight, but I can't make it, unfortunately.

I've seen them do La Villa Strangiato live (and Natural Science on another tour), so I can die a contented man, so what I'd love to hear them do is Cygnus Book 1 and Book 2 straight through.  Now that would be epicly epic!!!  They might be due to do all of Permanent Waves live, too.

Saint Of Me
Wild Horses

That's a nice mix Shug.  I know just what you mean about the greatest hits thing, but how could you not include some of those songs - those are just amazing songs that happen to be hits.  Mine would have been similar, though I probably would have tried to included Black Limousine, Dancing With Mr. D, and a couple tracks from Some Girls (Miss You, Shattered, Imagination, etc.) because I have an unreasonable attraction to that album for some reason.

It was either Rocky Racoon or Bungalow Bill, I was going for a certain style/sound from the White Album. :cool:

Saint of Me and Before They Make Me Run were my wild cards.  The later is the single greatest summary in song form of a rock 'n' roll life I know of!  Long live Keef!

My Beatles would have some choice White Album, too, of course, but I need more Revolver and Rubber Soul in mine.

I'll give shot at a Replacement's mix:

1. If Only You Were Lonely
2. Talent Show
3. Alex Chilton
4. Color Me Impressed
5. I Will Dare
6. Achin' To Be
7. Valentine
8. Bastards of Young
9. Unsatisfied
10. Can't Hardly Wait
11. Left of the Dial
12. Skyway
13. Here Comes a Regular

8. Rebel Rebel

10. Fame
11. Golden Years
12. Ziggy Stardust
13. Heroes

I just picked some of my favorite songs of his for my original 13. Bowie is amazing. There are some days I'd argue that he has the best discography in popular music.

Tracy, your Eno mix is great! So's your Stones mix, Shug! :cool:

Indeed there are a ton of songs. I just tried to keep it as "accessible" as possible while giving a taste of Boognish dogma. The stallions for example are better understood in the context of Ween generally, as are the autobiographies (what Dean was talking about, deaner crying in his sleep). Plus you guys cite to a lot of Guava and pod, or other rarities that were done first on a four track. Songs like "put the coke on my dick" I always play from the Stubbs album because most people have no patience for the rough cuts on the early albums, even if Pollo Asado is genius

Boognish dogma!  Yeah, you totally did that!  It's a good cross section, that's for sure.  I prefer my Ween on the mellow/psychedelic side, if you couldn't tell from my picks.  My brother is quite the fan of Speed Metal Ween.  Chocolate and peanut butter.

What Deaner Was Talking About
She's Your Baby

Indeed there are a ton of songs. I just tried to keep it as "accessible" as possible while giving a taste of Boognish dogma. The stallions for example are better understood in the context of Ween generally, as are the autobiographies (what Dean was talking about, deaner crying in his sleep). Plus you guys cite to a lot of Guava and pod, or other rarities that were done first on a four track. Songs like "put the coke on my dick" I always play from the Stubbs album because most people have no patience for the rough cuts on the early albums, even if Pollo Asado is genius

Boognish dogma!  Yeah, you totally did that!  It's a good cross section, that's for sure.  I prefer my Ween on the mellow/psychedelic side, if you couldn't tell from my picks.  My brother is quite the fan of Speed Metal Ween.  Chocolate and peanut butter.

Yeah when I saw chocolate town I immediately regretted not including that.

Have to do some disagreeing.... PJ mix tape with no Given To Fly..........

You have no idea how hard it was for me going back and forth between Do The Evolution and Given To Fly.  Given To Fly was actually my first choice and then I thought "I've already included to many emo songs, I need to show some balls here"  Plus, Do The Evolution has the trifecta of emotion, balls and brain.  It's funny that you called me out on that song though, I ended up getting called out on trying NOT to be a pussy.   :smiley: :kiss:

I see what you did there...

Another effort at the impossible, but at least I've gotten to do 3/5 of my all time favorites (Beatles, Radiohead, LZ).

Led Zeppelin

1. Black Dog (IV)
2. In The Evening (ITTOD)
3. Ten Years Gone (PG)
4. Bring It On Home (II)
5. Over The Hills And Far Away (HOTH)
6. The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair (BBC Sessions)
7. When The Levee Breaks (IV)
8. Ramble On (II)
9. How Many More Times (I)
10. That's The Way (III)
11. In The Light (PG)
12. Since I've Been Loving You (III)
13. No Quarter (HOTH)

So hard, so much left off.  Again, this isn't the 'best of' or even necessarily my favorite Zeppelin, but a mix I thought shows their brilliance, and the breadth and depth of the band.  Just missing the cut: Nobody's Fault But Mine (Presence), Fool In The Rain (ITTOD), In My Time Of Dying (PG).  Really there were twenty or thirty just missing the cut, but again I was going for a certain mix.  I tended toward longer tracks, because they were so great at them, and because more Zeppelin is better Zeppelin. :grin:

Maybe someone wants to make one excluding these songs, which would still be easy, and maybe even more fun than having to choose from the whole catalogue.

Here is my Wilco, but I just started listening to them about two weeks ago and I am yet to own Summer Teeth, Whole Love and Wilco

Spiders (Kidsmoke)
Misunderstood
I'm The Man Who Loves You
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
At Least That's What You Said (Maybe my favorite song from them so far)
Via Chicago
Jesus, Etc.
Impossible Germany
Sunken Treasure
Ashes Of American Flags
Hell Is Chrome
Theologians
Heavy Metal Drummer

Shot in the Arm, California Stars

Mine wouldve been similar-ish:

1. Misunderstood (Kicking-Tele versions. Too good of a intro)
2. Monday (can't go from Misunderstood into something slow)
3. At Least Thats What You Said
4. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
5. Pie Holdin' Suite
6. Via Chicago
-----END side one: emotionally dark side.  Start the fun side:
7. Art of Almost
8. Jesus Etc.
9. Impossible Germany
10. Theologians
11. California Stars
12. Shot in the Arm
13. Spiders (Kidsmoke)


I think that this would best represent every era of Wilco, and I think that Cali Stars and Shot in the Arm are almost musts for a Wilco mix tape.

Ha! I don't know that making a PJ mixtape limited to 13 songs would be possible, but GtF is probably my favorite song of all time. Do the Evolution is right up there with it though. (didn't Ed at one point say it's his favorite song hes written?) Yield is my favorite PJ record and my favorite record of all time on certain days. 


My PJ mixtape would probably go like this. Release is just a great opener, then it would kick your ass around for awhile, until slowly settles to Thumbing My Way, and then builds back up to another ass-kicking.

1. Release
2. Why Go
3. Do the Evolution
4. Not For You
5. Faithful
6. Glorified G
7. Given To Fly
8. I Am Mine
9. Thumbing My Way
10. Black
11. Hail, Hail
12. Leash (if we wanna show some balls here)
13. Rockin in the Free World (Live w/ Neil, obviously)


After making that, I can't help but see how personal it is. I mean I don't see Glorified G and Leash being on many "perfect mixtapes", but fuck I love those songs.

this was a pretty quick one where I just grabbed some of my personal favorites and a couple of classics

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Hello Operator
Do
Same Boy You've Always Known
Wasting My Time
Death Letter (has to be the Peel Sessions Death Letter)
Forever for Her (Is Over for Me)
I Fought Piranhas
Truth Doesn't Make a Noise
Jolene
A Martyr For My Love for You
300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues
Seven Nation Army

I tried to cover their discography here, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't put anything from Get Behind Me Satan on a mix for someone. 

If you haven't heard the Peel Sessions version of Death Letter:
http://youtu.be/AaCTxcnfB6Y (http://youtu.be/AaCTxcnfB6Y)

Pretty good list. Anything from De Stijl would work (I think it's their best overall album) and I'd have a tough time not including all three of these tracks: "Little Bird", "Apple Blossom" and "You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)".

However, there are a few suitable candidates from GBMS, first and foremost one of the best white blues songs from the last decade, "Instinct Blues". And "As Ugly as I Seem" is wonderful Zeppelin III kind of folk song.

And any White Stripes mix tape must include "Ball and Biscuit".

It is indeed. Brought a smile to my face when I watched the film.

Got to see solo Jack do "Ball and Biscuit" in October in Toronto and witnessed it three times with the Stripes, the first being in 2003 in Mississauga, Ontario (large suburban city beside Toronto) then in 2005 and finally during their now historic cross-Canada "Under Great White Northern Lights" 2007 tour (ranks in my Top 3 concerts of all time). BTW, here's the 2007 Toronto encore (I have the limited editon gig poster too!). All songs would fit nicely onto a mix tape:

Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile could be my two fave Stones songs and probably why I give the nod to Sticky Fingers just barely over Exile

Every Little Thing
Nowhere Man
Sexy Sadie
I Dig A Pony
I've Got A Feeling
One After 909
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey
She Came In Thru Bathroom Window/Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End

I'm crazy for the '65/'66 jangly Rickenbacker guitar power pop of the Beatles, can't get enough of it.  I've always thought of Every Little Thing as an underappreciated little gem from the early years. Also had to include a little Let It Be triple shot.  Also, I couldn't not include the end of the Abbey Road medley just like exsit10z did, its just too good!

I'm no Stones afficionado but Salt of the Earth has been my favorite Stones' song since I bought a real dinged up copy of Beggar's  Banquet the first year I started collecting vinyl.

Neil Young

Borrowed Tune
Comes A Time
The Loner
Cinnamon Girl
For the Turnstiles
Helpless
Bite the Bullet
Barstool Blues
Thrasher
Cortez the Killer
Ambulance Blues
Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown
Cowgirl in the Sand

As you can see, I tend to not stray too far from the 70s with Neil (though the new album is pretty rad). Who's going to do Bob Dylan?

I'll bite, bbill!

Not Dark Yet
Jokerman
Shelter From The Storm
Where Are You Tonight?
Idiot Wind
Just Like Tom Thumb Blues
Mr. Tambourine Man
Visions Of Johanna
I Threw It All Away (live from Hard Rain)
The Man In Me
I Believe In You
Every Grain Of Sand
Tomorrow Is A Long Time

Whew! So hard to cover all his decades and styles.  This ain't too bad for avoiding most of the "hits" (except Tambourine Man, which is just so perfectly perfect).  And I even got the reviled "gospel" period in there, too.  I have a thing for his stream of consciousness/mystical lyrics.

Hmm, I guess that would have been for The King Is Dead, eh? What I was referring to was the tour for The Hazards of Love (2009, I think), in which they played the entire album for the first set, with Becky Stark and Shara Worden, then played other stuff in a second set. I saw that in Tulsa and I loved it. Stark and Worden joined again for the encore, where they sang Crazy on You.

Wish I had seen it live.  The Hazards of Love was so under-rated in my opinion.  If my memory serves, the reviews were mediocre at best and they got a lot of shit about the concept, if not the execution.  I think it's an amazing piece of work as a whole, and is easily my favorite album of theirs.  They may have made better individual songs, but straight through that album was great, and the cohesion/concept didn't detract, but enhanced the individual pieces.  Whatever, I am going to go listen to it right now, haven't heard it in over a year.  Thanks for the reminder. :evil:

God, I could do so many. I will probably start listing them soon, but these are the bands I know I could do it for: The Who, The Clash, Clutch, Elton John, etc. I'll post em eventually!

i feel ya, man! and i love the hazards of love, too...live they were the most boring concert ever....but love their albums..

Wha? Did you see them play The Hazards of Love live? That was a great show!

i saw them do their 3 night run at the Beacon (or was it 5?) they kicked off the tour for the last album ...a couple years ago? not sure if you mean the song or the album live...

Yeah, those Beacon shows kinda sucked... Saw them at Bonnaroo a few months later and they were great... and my friend saw them in 2009 and said they were one of the best shows he's ever seen.

Hey Crispy, I'm a fan of the Decemberists!  :beer:  Nice mix too!   :thumbsup:

I'm kinda surprised no Dylan fans here have jumped on this bandwagon with me. When I did this list, I just did it in my head.  I listened to it last night and I was way into it! Dylan is a fucking genius.  Not a news flash, I know, but these songs in this sequence kinda blew me away all over again.  It took me back to being 16 and feeling that thrill and wonder of discovery when listening to songs like Mr. Tambourine Man for the first hundred times. Dylan's music took me by force at that age when I was mostly listening to Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, and the more radio friendly 60s and 70s rock.  It was reading about Dylan in all the books and then hearing The Byrds cover his songs that opened the doors to Dylan for me. When I "got it", I got it HARD.  So many great songs he's written over the years.  Where Are You Tonight? is a relatively under-recognized masterpiece.   Check this shit out, people!  How about the layers and layers of verses spat with an increasing sense of urgency until it explodes into a sweet guitar solo.  Not a great recording, but its on Street Legal, 1978.

Man, if you loved my Rush mix, and I am sure you do/did/was/were/am/are what I am willing to do is sort of like a year long immersion into Rush where I will keep a journal of my everyday "Rush" moments and my reflections as to which songs would fit into these situations, probably a list of 1-5 and I figure I have 7-8 of these a day,so, something like a variation of up to 40 Rush songs and I could also mix 'n match them you know, like having #1 from the first moment and #2 from the second, etc.... or like #3 from 1 and 5 from 2 and 2 from 3, and so forth and what not and such as, so we're looking at something like 35 possible lists a day or 40, I can't do crazy math like that, but I would be willing to burn CD's for you and like I said, for a year, be like 14,622 CD's I could mail you come January 1st 2014 and then you could listen to them and tell me which ones are your favorites or not so much, wondering how much my mood would transpose on the conditionality of your own self formulating and regulating your own feelings ie emotions ie wonderings ie stirring about my Rush CD's like right now I feel a list coming on and I call it

Good stuff, Mama. My question now is, is it possible to make a Beatles mix that does not have the Abbey Road medley wrapping it up?

Answer: No.

It's as Natural as Robert Redford, good buddy.  This is a great thread. We still need The Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Band....

I could do Elton John and Oasis....that's strange.  I might just do one or the other.

Haha, Obscure isn't a bad album, but the bands, themselves, I don't think really like it too much.  It was a score for a French film, so it wasn't as personal as some of their other stuff.  Still some simple great jam tunes on there though.

Thanks, I love my MMJ mix.  I've been listening to it a lot recently, and I think it flows nicely. 

The Bob Dylan mix is missing, It's All Over Now Baby Blue.

Such a gentle way to burn him alive. Interesting that both of you are fans of Prison Sex...who am I kidding? I am too.

Right in Two and Eulogy (an omission that someone else also noted) were the two biggest things I struggled with leaving out of the Tool mix I did. 

I also can understand the argument for Rosetta Stoned over Vicarious.  To have Rosetta Stoned, though, you really need Lost Keys before it, which is an intro to the song.  I think Rosetta Stoned sounds a bit odd and out of context without the intro. 

To a lesser degree, Intension is also an intro to Right in Two, though not as essential to the song.

Fully, I know we've talked about Tool before, and I think you said you weren't too familiar with them.  Strikes me as something you would love.  Are you saying you are familiar with the song Prison Sex, or just that you have fond memories of the tender moments you shared while behind bars?

Sometimes a woman should leave a little mystery. I will say that I have taken your advice and listened to them some. I've put your original playlist in spotify. Unlike someone whose innocent young daughter is being turned into a Deer Tick super fan, I found it quite good. However, I will also add young mahgeetah's songs to it as well.

I had to try my hand at a Tool mix.  I liked the others flow but wanted to make a couple changes.  Pushit has to be there for me.  One of my favorit vocal deliveries, "If, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay here, You minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way."  I know I'm in the minority, but not a huge Ticks and Leeches fan.  Want H. in there instead.  I'm a sucker for the personal 10,000 days.  Love the music of Right in Two, but don't love the lyrics.  I agree with Whippy on the needing the into to Rosetta Stoned plus the beginning of that song meanders a little too much at the beginning for mix tape for me.



Tool

1.  Stinkfist
2.  Prison Sex
3.  The Grudge
4.  Pushit
5.  Forty Six and Two
6.  Opiate
7.  Third Eye
8.  H. 
9.  10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)
10.  Eulogy
11.  Lateralus
12.  Schism

I had to try my hand at a Tool mix.  I liked the others flow but wanted to make a couple changes.  Pushit has to be there for me.  One of my favorit vocal deliveries, "If, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay here, You minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way."  I know I'm in the minority, but not a huge Ticks and Leeches fan.  Want H. in there instead.  I'm a sucker for the personal 10,000 days.  Love the music of Right in Two, but don't love the lyrics.  I agree with Whippy on the needing the into to Rosetta Stoned plus the beginning of that song meanders a little too much at the beginning for mix tape for me.

2.  Prison Sex
3.  The Grudge
4.  Pushit
5.  Forty Six and Two
6.  Opiate
7.  Third Eye
8.  H. 
9.  10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)
10.  Eulogy
11.  Lateralus
12.  Schism
13.  Aenima

Nice Tool mix.  H. and Pushit were also hard ones for me to leave off.  Some of my mix was inspired by pairings of songs I had seen in live shows and really liked, such as Opiate -> Flood and Lateralus -> Vicarious -> Aenima. 

I guess I'm the only one that see 4 Degrees as an essential track.  For me it just has such a unique groove and feel to it, I've always been sucked in by it more so than any other of the great songs on Undertow.

Vicarious -> Aenima. 

I liked this, I've just always thought Schism and Vicarious sounded so much alike, I went with Schism over your Vicarious.  I remember the day they released Vicarious before 10k days came out and being kind of let down (which kind of set the tone with that album for me) with how similar it sounded to Schism.

Pairing it from even 20 'musts' was brutal.

I remember where I was when I first realized he was saying "We're all accidents waiting to happen" at the end of There There and had an out of body experience.

Some of my favorite lines in all of music are from There There, and I quote it all the time.

- There's always a siren, singing you to shipwreck...
- Steer away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster...

Love you, Erik. I was sitting next to you when we made this list. We had like 30 songs and it was next to impossible to get the list to 20 much less 13. Happy Valentine's Day, soulmate. Miss you more than words can express. :'(
