I’ve had my iPod on shuffle since I found this thread. It’s been great since I’ve been finding a lot of songs I wouldn’t normally have listened to as first picks.

Looking at all the shuffles everyone else has posted, I think the playlist I’d most like to swipe is Katriona’s. Which should tell you something about my taste in music :wink:

44

I’m definitely telling Mr. Kat that - his “wonder years” were the 80’s, just like mine, but he finds my taste just dreadful!

45

Holy crap, I have that song, too! :smiley: I was beginning to think that my friend and I were the only ones who’d heard of it…

50

Sounds fun.

Creative Nomad Zen : 3040 tracks

Lena Horne “Where Or When”
Rent “Another Day”
Dishwallah “Miss Emma Peal”
The Flying Lizards “Money”
The Guess Who “When the Band Was Singin’”
John Popper “His Own Ideas”
Billy Joel “River of Dreams”
Aerosmith “Flesh”
Gin Blossoms “Day Job”

God do I feel like this wasn’t really representative of the collection.

51

Trying again, mostly because I’m bored and awake:

1 Pink Floyd “The Thin Ice”
2 Vivaldi (Yehudi Menuhin featured performer) “L’Inverno III: Allegro” from Four Seasons
3 Jim Croce “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels)”
4 Pi Soundtrack “A Low Frequency Inversion Field”
5 Ryan Adams “Hallelujah”
6 Gin Blossoms “29” (amazing they show up twice in the first 18 songs, only have two albums…)
7 Guess Who “These Eyes” (even worse blow for the Zen’s randomization, just have one album)
8 America “Don’t Cross the River”
9 Gin Blossoms “Hands Are Tied”

It started off looking so good this time, so much more like a representative mix. Then two Gin Blossoms tracks.

Does it get better with another go?

1 Cabaret “It Couldn’t Please Me More”
2 Pearl Jam “Nothingman”
3 Shawn Mullins “Ballad of Billy Jo McKay”
4 Jeckyl & Hyde “No One Knows Who I Am”
5 REM “Everybody Hurts”
6 Prodigy “Firestarter”
7 Chess “The American and Florence / Nobody’s Side”
8 Norah Jones “Painter Song”
9 Barenaked Ladies “Alcohol”

Decently representative, though a bit Broadway-heavy. I guess taking the three attempts together, I have a decent mix, good variety, not really many songs I’d skip over on the average day.
