I was procrastinating last night and decided that I would make a 20 song playlist. The songs I would have to consider extremely excellent for one reason or another and I would have listened to quite often. It would be a playlist that you would give your kid or someone 20 years from now.
In alphabetical order, by artist:
The Arcade Fire - "Rebellion (Lies)"
The Beatles - "Day in the Life"
Bruce Springsteen - "Born to Run"
The Clash - "London Calling"
Clint Mansell/ Kronos Quartet - "Summer Overture" ...from the movie Requiem for a Dream
Danger Mouse - "What More Can I Say"
David Bowie - "Suffragette City"
DJ Shadow - "Midnight in a Perfect World"
Explosions in the Sky - "Have You Passed Through this Night?"
Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower"
Johnny Cash - "Hurt"
Kanye West - "Jesus Walks"
The Mars Volta - "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt"
Radiohead - "Paranoid Android"
Reinhold Heil - "Introduction" ...from the movie Run Lola Run
RJD2 - "Ghostwriter"
RL Burnside - "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues"
Sigur Rós - "Starálfur"
Tool - "Schism"
The Velvet Underground - "Heroin"
Not considered: the rolling stones.
I encourage others to comment on it etc and do their own.
