63

Y’all are showing a serious lack of dance pop and American Idols. Let’s see if I can fix that:

  1. Josiah Leming - You and I (oo! an American Idol [reject] first up!)
  2. Infinite Monkeys - Nylon (there may be other bands of this name, but this is the only real one - my Dad’s electronic experimental project he’s been doing for nearly 20 years. It’s amazing stuff).
  3. Otis Lee Crenshaw - Texas not Tennessee
  4. White Zombie - Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psychoholic Slag (surely no link required…)
  5. The Prodigy - Mind Fields (wow, this takes me back)
  6. Kiss - God Gave Rock And Roll To You II (from the best movie soundtrack album of all time - Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey)
  7. Oingo Boingo - Just Another Day (this list is turning out much cooler than I really am)
  8. Moby - Guitar Flute and String (Moby’s all right, but this is just boring)
  9. The Black Eyed Peas - They Don’t Want Music (I’m not really a fan, to be honest)
  10. Beck - Truckdrivin’ Neighbors Downstairs (Yellow Sweat). I think I OD’d on this album in the '90s. I can’t really listen to it anymore.

Well, that was disappointing! OK, so I don’t have enough **Adam Lambert **to give it a fighting chance to come up randomly, but where’s the goddamn Hanson?! I have like 12 hours of Hanson on this friggin’ thing. There goes ALL my teenybop cred.

Oh…4972 songs. Or at least “items,” which would include videos and multiple recordings of the same song (you can’t imagine how many versions of MMMBop can be found…)

64

First ten on my computer’s Winamp this evening:

  1. The Beatles – I Am the Walrus
  2. The Yardbirds – I Wish You Would
  3. The Beatles – Got to Get You Into My Life
  4. Al Green – I Can’t Get Next To You
  5. Stevie Wonder – Superstition
  6. The Dead Milkmen – Takin’ Retards to the Zoo
  7. The Rolling Stones – Love in Vain
  8. Bob Dylan – Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
  9. Neko Case – Prison Girls
  10. Portishead – Glory Box

That sample really skews old. Only three songs are from after 1975.
