Ten Song Mix

[Empyrium]

Just for fun...if you were asked to make a mix cd, comprised of only ten songs, and give it to a complete stranger...What would you put on it?

I think, personally, I'd try to put a little bit of everything I like on the mix. So, here's mine to start it off...

1. The Nightwatchman - The Iron Wheel (ft Shooter Jennings)

2. Grateful Dead - Ramble On Rose

3. Pearl Jam - I Am Mine

4. Atmosphere - Always Coming Back Home to You

5. Warren Zevon - Back In the High Life Again (Steve Winwood cover)

6. Empyrium - The Blue Mists of Night

7. The Band - It Makes No Difference

8. John Hartford - Back In the Goodle Days

9. Flying Burrito Brothers - Sing Me Back Home (Merle Haggard cover)

10. Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Righteous and the Wicked


Probably not in that particular order, but it'll work.

Hm... I'd focus on bands that I listen to that nobody else seems to have heard of, to be honest. Or, well, epic bands.

Therefore:

1. Ministry - Burning Inside
2. Combichrist - Sent to Destroy
3. Combichrist - Shut Up And Swallow (as an aside, yes this song IS what you think it's about)
4. Combichrist - This Shit Will Fuck You Up
5. Aesthetic Perfection - I Belong To You
6. Aesthetic Perfection - Living the Wasted Life
7. Abney Park - Airship Pirates
8. Hurt - Abuse of Sid
9. Hurt - Overdose
10. VNV Nation - Tempest

Reason for three Combichrist: They tend to have a few different styles of music, and both SUAS and STD are pretty amazing songs.
Reason for two Aesthetic Perfection: I have been listening to these two songs over and over for some time now.
Reason for multiple Hurt: Listen to them. You will understand why.

I'd put all the obscure/semi-obscure stuff I like on there in hopes that they'd totally love it and I'd get some promotion done.

1. Red For You- Repeat Offender
2. We Want More- The Living End
3. Monsters in the Dark- Nina May
4. To A Modern Love- Repeat Offender
5. Hey Hey Disbeleiver- The Living End
6. Where the City Meets the City- The Getaway Plan
7. Opinions Won't Keep You Warm- Kisschasy
8. Change- Repeat Offender
9. Ugly Position- Nina May
10. Not the Fighting Kind- Repeat Offender

Thanks for the replies. I guess I might have to check out some of the songs from both of your lists.

It does sound pretty good. I haven't heard anyone even mention Billy Ocean in years!

If I were to make a versatile 10 track compilation cd, it would probably contain the following:

Deathcab for Cutie - I will Follow you Into the Dark
Metallica - Orion
Sidney Samson - Riverside
Faith no More - Digging the Grave
