Compilation Album ... Post your track listing ...

We all have varied tastes in music, so I thought it might be a neat idea to post a track listing for a theoretical compilation album of all the music you love and enjoy.

Keep it down to between 12-15 tracks, total playtime no more than say, 1 hr 15 mins.

List the tracks in play order (be sure to make sure the tracks are ordered in such a way that one flows onto to another).

List the:

1) Track Number
2) Song Title
3) Artist/Band
4) Album & Release date

Perhaps some people will go for a "themed" compilation, others will just go for "Greatest Hits". Your choice - let your mind wander ...

Who knows - maybe we can "press" the best compilation and distribute via CD-R (snailmail) to anyone interested?? ;)
 
I was planning on actually DOING this this weekend, so I'll be back (as Arnold would say)
cheers,
angela

I will do a "Songs to party to" alblum when I gets the time :D

BTW I saw a kegerator for sale today for $150 :eek: I hope it is still there in two weeks *crosses fingers*
 
OK due to the lukewarm response (or is it that people are waiting for the w/e when they have more time?), I will suggest something ...

An old idea, but there are a myriad of different combinations ...

5 Compilations ...

Music of the 1950's

Music of the 1960's

Music of the 1970's

Music of the 1980's

Music of the 1990's

14 Tracks per album ... you want to aim to capture all the themes, strains, and threads in the music world that were around during the decade.

A different person to do each decade ... so who wants to volunteer to pick one, (or shall I allocate?).

Come on gentlemen and gentlelasses ...
 
Super Hits of the 70's from the Have A Nice Day series. See if you like.

1. John Stewart - Gold
2. Sniff 'n' The Tears - Drivers Seat
3. Ram Jam - Black Betty
4. Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island
5. Cliff Richard - Devil Woman
6. The Sanford/Townsend Band - Smoke From a Distant Fire
7. Andy Kim - Rock Me Gently
8. Reunion - Life Is A Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)
9. Black Oak Arkansas - Jim Dandy
10. The Five Stairsteps - O-O-H Child
11. Steam - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
12. Looking Glass - Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
13. Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride
14. Brewer & Shipley - One Toke Over The Line

It has no Glam, nor Punk ... we want full representation of every musical influence of the decade.

And since you're the only one who has responded Drybasement, you get to have a go at 1970's.

I will do the 1980's.

Thor, how about you do the 1990's?

Anyone interested in the 1960's? Pete? Tom?

And the oldest fella around here has to do the boppin' 50's. That would be bigmacc if I'm not mistaken. So how about that? You guys up for it?

Aim to post the listing after the weekend (so give it some thought) ...

Ok. Well, I'll have to throw in some 70's metal also. I misunderstood the scope of the project. Man, only 14 songs with a decade of great music to choose from. This may take awhile.
 
Yes it's a tall order, that's why I said give it some thought over the weekend.

Yep, metal needs to be there as well ...

Some songs just have to be there - don't worry about putting the anthems in - if they demand to be there, put them in.
 
OK so,

1950's - bigmacc, but he hasn't consented yet ...

1960's - open, any takers?

1970's - Drybasement

1980's - me (Walt)

1990's - Thor

So, anyone want to volunteer for 1960's? Great era, lots of new influences, and some memorable bands ...

I have seven categories of rock music, all important.

Punk
Glam
Prog/Art
Metal
Southern
Rock
Rock (individual artist)

I can only pick two songs for each category.Yikes!!! :eek:
 
Excellent choices!! NOt that the mainstream Tull is bad or too well worn, but there is nothing like the road less travelled.
