Playlist/Music Quirks

What do you have as your back to back songs? I do admit I have a thing for cheesy 80s pop/rock, but mine is mostly more modern or heavier stuff. Sorta like a reccomendation thread, I guess, because I’d reccomend any of these songs to somebody.

Sober, by Tool
Prison Sex, by Tool
Forty Six and Two, by Tool

For all those who don’t want to code it all, just copy this row and repeat, plus add a / to close the tags for every second one.
****, by ****
****, by ****
****, by ****

Also, tell us the weird things you do when singing/listening to music.

I often find myself saying what I’m reading at the moment to the beat of the song that’s currently playing. I’ll find myself singing “IMHO” to the beat/lyrics of all apologies or “ATMB” to 99 luft balloons. I also find myself listening a lot to songs I hate, because if I don’t hear it, I won’t be able to get it out of my mind and I’ll go insane.

Er, what do you mean exactly? My ENTIRE playlist?

Not the entirety, especially if you have 500 songs or something. A sample of what you’re listening to, or the first 30 songs you have.

And music quirks.
