what would you put on it?
The CD must be no more than 10 tracks long. You can either put on your 10 personal favourites or the 10 tracks that you think would get someone into this band who had no prior knowledge of them.
I'll have a moment to think about this and then post mine below.

Haha it's funny I say that because I love that song, and album. But 'Clouds', 'Bulletin', 'Transmissions', and 'Future Head' are by far better.
I've been compiling an of Montreal one for a wee while
I set myself some rules like 2 tracks maximum per album, 1 if possible, cover all albums and EPs. Have some sensible running order. It's tough. 16 tracks at the moment to whittle down.
My last one was pre-Deflated Chime, so I'll post the new tracklist soon.
mogwai
1. punk rock
2. sine wave
3. hunted by a freak
4. superheroes of BMX
5. tracy
6. summer
7. take me somewhere nice
8. christmas steps
9. you don't know jesus
10. 2 rights make 1 wrong
that was hard. nothing from mr.beast and 4 from rock action. ah man, too much choice...
post the Of Montreal one please
Done, see bottom
Thankyou :D
that would be so tough for...
It would be like all Coquelicot songs and then a couple Gay Parade ones.
Super Furry Animals
Volume 1: Songs I think someone SHOULD like:
1 Ice Hockey Hair
2 Dacw Hi
3 Chubacabras
4 Neo Consumer
5 Down a Different River
6 Hometown Unicorn
7 Arnofio / Glo in the Dark
8 Pam V
9 Frequency
10 Mountain People
Volume 2: Songs they probably already like but don't know it yet:
1 Something 4 the Weekend
2 Northern Lites
3 Hermann Loves Pauline
4 Do or Die
5 Golden Retriever
6 (Drawing) Rings Around the World
7 Hello Sunshine
8 If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You
9 Demons
10 The Man Don't Give a Fuck
volume 2 is SOLID GOLD
Still can't find
Mwng! And it's too expensive online!
Red House Painters
01 - Grace Cathedral Park
02 - Japanese to English
03 - katy Song
04 - Mistress
05 - Down Through
06 - Take Me Out
07 - New Jersey
08 - Rollercoaster
09 - Strawberry Hill
10 - Mistress (piano)
This was tough to do, but flows perfectly and is ideal length/pace for a newcomer. I decided to stay away from later stuff as the production is so different that it wouldn't feel like one album. I urge people who haven't heard them to get hold of these tracks and sod em in this order!
I don't have a favourite band
but if I was to make an introduction to The Verve:
1. Gravity Grave
2. A Man Called Sun
3. Star Sail
4. Already There
5. The Sun, The Sea,
6. Butterfly
7. This Is Music
8. (Reprise)
9. Bittersweet Symphony
10. Catching The Butterfly
HISTORY?
Fo' serious?
At 10 tracks most of it's going to come from the songs pre-'A Northern Soul'. I really couldn't care less about them past that.
Let's give Pixies a go
Debaser
Levitate Me
Gouge Away
Is She Weird
River Euphrates
U-Mass
Monkey Gone To Heaven
Wave Of Mutilation
Gigantic
No.13 Baby
I know Where is my mind is obvious
but come on!
seriously
open or close with it.
Alright, alright
Dump River Euphrates and put it in first, even if it does then look even more like the most obvious ten selections. Nobody said this was going to be an easy task.
There's not enough Bossanova and Trompe le Monde in there
I'd go for:
The Happening
Letter to Memphis
The Sad Punk
Motorway to Roswell
Oh My Golly!
Hey
Gouge Away
Ed is Dead
Alec Eiffel
Where Is My Mind?
Trompe Le Monde ftw.
my Pixies list
where is my mind?
bone machine
head on
motorway to roswell
is she weird (peel session version)
tame
hey
nimrod's son
rock music
subbacultcha
No
Here Comes Your Man?
No. 13 Baby, the forgotten Pixies jem.
SFA ok, SFA ok
01 - Ice Hockey Hair
02 - Sidewalk Serfer Girl
03 - Hermann Loves Pauline
04 - Arnofio Glo In The Dark
05 - Some Things Come From Nothing
06 - Slow Life
07 - She's Got Spies
08 - Atomik Lust
09 - Run! Christian, Run!
10 - The Man Don't Give A Fuck (live)
o
sweet one
You win this thread.
Tthere isn't really much point in doing an introduction to the Beatles CD, is there?
However, if my friend had been living on the moon for 45 years they'd get:
1. Hard days night
2. Happiness is a warm gun
3. Hey bulldog
4. Hello goodbye
5. Magical Mystery Tour
6. I'm so tired
7. I need you
8. Something
9. For no one
10. A day in the life
anything by the Beatles
that involves the word "Something" and not the words "Eleanor", "Strawberry" and "Penny" is an instant fail.
Well, sometimes you've gotta spread your bets
They've been living on the moon for 45 years so don't really have much to compare it with other than NASA sanctioned patriot rock.
Penny Lane
is shit.
But you are right about Strawberry Fields Forever and Eleanor Rigby.
how can you even say that
Seriously. How the shit is Penny Lane, shit.
Ok, shit was a bit harsh
But I think it's just another maudlin McCartney pop song, vapid and uninspiring compared to Strawberry Fields Forever, and not a patch on anything from Revolver/Sgt. Pepper.
Another Beatles one then
I Saw Her Standing There
Ticket to Ride
Things We Said Today
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Rain
Love You To
Here, There and Everywhere
Strawberry Fields Forever
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
I'll have a go at a Beatles one...
Hello, Goodbye
Eight Days a Week
For No One
We Can Work it Out
Ticket to Ride
Across the Universe
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Eleanor Rigby
With a Little Help From My Friends
A Day in the Life
bright eyes
sunrise sunset
oh you are the roots...
the calander hung itself
messenger birds song
poison oak
loose leaves
waste of paint
the difference in the shades
a song to pass the time
lets not shit ourselves
Mine would be a little different...
01. The Big Picture
02. Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
03. When The President Talk To God
04. I Believe In Symmetry
05. Landlocked Blues
06. Hit The Switch
07. If The Brakeman Turns My Way
08. Something Vague
09. Don't Know When But A Day Is Gonna Come
10. Lets Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And To Be Loved)
I've not really listened to Letting Of The Happiness.
It would have to run like this;
01. When the President Talks to God
02. The Calendar Hung Itself
03. Gold Mine Gutted
04. Drunk Kid Catholic
05. Lover I Dont Have to Love
06. Padraic My Prince
07. Sunrise Sunset
08. Travelling Song
09. Nothing Gets Crossed Out
10. Easy/Lucky/Free
No debate... end of...
i'm sure ive seen him play that set, in that order
Damn..
Almost Perfect.. I'd Replace Padraic My Prince With "No Lies, Just Love" &
Traveling Song With "No One Would Riot For Less"
Fugazi
1) Turnover
2) Cashout
3) Bad Mouth
4) Long Division
5) Cassavetes
6) Full Disclosure
7) Furniture
8) Song no 1
9) Long Distance Runner
10) Strangelight

1. Up The Bracket
2. Time For Heroes
3. Mayday
4. Don't Look Back Into The Sun*
5. Tell The King
6. What Katie Did
7. Can't Stand Me Now
8. What A Waster
9. The Delaney
10. Boys In The Band
11. Death On The Stairs
12. I Get A LOL
13. What Became Of The Likely Lads
That could so easily be cut down to 10
*3
LOL
What A Waster
Time For Heroes
Don't Look Back into the Sun
Best of now available folks!
.
or 0.
this is a cd I made for someone of mount eerie/the microphones

Radiohead - not done yet! So I'll do one...
1) Paranoid Android
2) Banana Co
3) Black Star
4) Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
5) A Punchup at a Weddding
6) Idioteque
7) 15 Step
8) Lucky
9) A Wolf At The Door
10) Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Although I might replace one of the HttT tracks with another, Sail to the Moon.
Christ alive, I've tried Radiohead
so many times. It's very very hard to do an introduction for someone. I've come to the conclusion that it could only be accomplished with two cd's; one more guitar based, and one experimental.
A second CD would be easy...
...that 10-tracker = a little scattered, but a pick from every pot, save the really bad early stuff (Banana Co my one nod to pre-Bends era).
Not saying yours is shit
btw
An introduction?
I'd enjoy that tracklisting but maybe a bit too obscure methinks. Mine (today) would be:
1. 2+2=5
2. The National Anthem
3. Paranoid Android
4. Karma Police
5. Lucky
6. Idioteque
7. House Of Cards
8. Like Spinning Plates
9. Everything In Its Right Place
10. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Right I can't skip past this without posting my own...
1.) Everything in its Right Place
2.) Black Star
3.) There There (The Boney King of Nowhere
4.) How To Disappear Completely
5.) Let Down
6.) Reckoner
7.) Karma Police
8.) Idioteque
9.) Knives Out
10.) Where I End and You Begin (The Sky is Falling In)
Bloody hard but I think this works.
