Comment and help me create an ultimate playlist!
18 years ago
(Crossposted from my LiveJournal)
Hokai, so, I wanna build a playlist for myself. But I am a firm believer that no matter how much music I have, there's always SOMETHING out there that I'd love to listen to, I just have to hear it. So I'm enlisting assistance from you all!
The Task: Create the Ultimate Driving Playlist.
The Format: MP3s, loaded onto a 1-2GB flash drive (maybe larger if there's a lot of comments, but I'm not expecting that).
The Guidelines:
1. Only one song per artist. This playlist must be varied! It's gonna be hard to select just one AC/DC and one Queen song, but this is a limit that I feel is the only way to assure one-hit wonders get just as much playtime as the superstars.
2. Each song should have a true "driving" beat. These songs aren't for lounging, they aren't for lookin' pretty, they aren't for picking up chicks. No, these songs are for driving. The beat should move you, urge you faster, more, quicken the reflexes, floor the accelerator, and get your adrenaline pumping!
3. Each song should force an uncontrollable reaction in your seat. Whether it's drumming on the steering wheel, pounding on the dashboard, thumping your palm against the ceiling, or any manner of bodily writhing and in-seat dancing (a la Rush Hour), right down to singing out loud, every song on this playlist should evoke a reaction from even the most stoic drivers and passengers. If the song couldn't get Jesus tapping his foot in spite of himself, it doesn't belong on here!
4. Every song should be air-guitar-able and/or drummable. I know that there are some kickass electronic songs. You're welcome to suggest some, and I'll be putting a few on here, but seriously, if #3 is going to be all-inclusive, then we have to allow for our Guitar Hero brethren to get their fix away from their consoles. If you have a song that doesn't fit this rule, it better be like, a fucking anthem of its genre.
5. All songs should be upbeat and/or kick your ass. How can I put this... I don't want that particular brand of song. A lot of pop music today has intrinsic anger, depression, and angst schlepped right into it, down to the essence of the guitar chords. I'm not going to name any names, but if the song's singing about punching your parents in the face, it better be because you're drinking at an Irish pub, not because they took your allowance away and don't like your girlfriend.
Got a song or two in mind? Fire away, leave a comment! Tell your friends to visit and comment too! I want a BIG ASS PLAYLIST. The kind that when you put it in for a roadtrip, you know you won't have to put in a new CD until your backseat driver's stopped to pee at their third rest stop and you're on your 6th frappacino and second pack of cigs (and if you do neither, use your imagination).
