I know that this topic has likely been done to death along similar veins (What’s in your CD changer, tape deck, etc.) but Welbywife has provided me with a fine gift, namely an in-car MP3 player.
I’m not what most people call a music buff, but I like to know what other people listen to. It’s the one bit of nosiness I can’t do without. When at a friends house I inevitably slide over to where they keep their CDs and look at what they listen to. My tastes tend to be pretty broad, and I’ll always listen to something new, so viewing other people’s collections tends to be a good way to see what people I know like. It’ll also help me make a few discs, since the MP3 player can manage up to 300 songs per disc, according to the specs.
My tastes are so random as to be slightly psychotic. I’m one of the many people who say they listen to just about anything and mean it.
Currently on my disc:
Bob Dylan, House of Pain, Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, Elvis Presley, The Housemartins, Beautiful South, Billy Idol, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, John Cougar Mellencamp, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Cypress Hill, New Order, Beastie Boys, Enya, Lou Reed, B-52s, Book of Love, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, Elton John, The Pixies, Willie Nelson, The Beatles, Wyclef Jean, Green Day, U2, Peter Gabriel, Jane’s Addiction, Cowboy Junkies, Ah-Ha, Flock of Seagulls, Merle Haggard, Eric Clapton, Naughty by Nature (Not OPP, I hate that song), Don McLean, Roger Waters, REM, Queen, Single Gun Theory, The Fugees, Pet Shop Boys, Men Without Hats, Shawn Mullins, George Michael, John Denver, Cocteau Twins, Fatboy Slim, Dido, Railway Children, David Gray, Grateful Dead, Louis Armstrong, Kenny Rogers, Ian Hunter, Primus, couple of tracks from The Commitments soundtrack, The Commodores, Niel Diamond, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Brahams, some bagpipe music, two tracks from the “hooked on classics” tape, and Frank Sinatra.
