June 13, 200620 yr Ok, here's the question: If you were to make a compilation of music from today for somebody who knows near to nothing about music, what would you include? :thinking: :) Oh and try to add a bit of variety...not like "coldplay, coldplay, keane, coldplay, embrace, coldplay, keane...etc" :D
June 13, 200620 yr It must be good being able to move your own threads. :lol: Ok...ummm...this is hard... I'll just say bands, I think that is what you want is it not? (probably) Ok: Nirvana Coldplay Radiohead U2 Metallica (well they are sorta 80's but they do have 90's stuff.) Foo Fighters Britney Spears Franz Ferdinand Bob Marley Basement Jaxx Guns'N'Roses Jack Johnson Green Day (or some shit like that, they're all the same) Powderfinger (I'm trying to show a range of styles if you can't tell.) Well that's good enough, actully it's terrible but..... meh.

June 14, 200620 yr ^That is a very good list. I think only changes I would do is add U2 because they are my personal favourite.
June 14, 200620 yr My compilation.... well, it can be: 1.- Coldplay (Clocks, obviously) 2.- Radiohead (2+2=5, Paranoid Android or Creep?) 3.- Moby (Hotel Intro, Porcelain or Slipping Away?) 4.- U2 (City Of Blinding Lights or With Or Without You?) 5.- Keane (Somewhere Only We Know) 6.- The Beatles (Yesterday or She Loves You?) 7.- Placebo (Special Needs or Special K?) 8.- Franz Ferdinand (The Fallen, obviously) 9.- Pink Floyd (Wish You Where Here) 10.- Richard Ashcroft (Bittersweet Simphony) 11.- Sigur Ros (Cold ?) 12.- The White Stripes (Blue Orchid or Seven Nation Army?) These are the bands, 'cause one song is so hard to choose. But, in cases like Coldplay is obvious, Clocks. Atenea_Brit
