Never heard quite a few of the entries on your list (but then I've missed out on a lot of band and have a lot of catching up to do, and that's OK), so I can't comment on most of it.

Beastie Boys's Girls ...damn, I used to listen to that album a lot. No sleep till Brooklyn was my favourite track.
The Police's Spirits in the Material World - ah, memories!
I never really bothered with Dire Straits.
REM - sorry ... I believe I'm the only person in the universe who really doesnt get what the fuss is about them. I'll go and hide, don't mind me.

All the other names are on my "need to get hold of if I can" list....

Now for my list - I have to say, my ipod has only a small, not entirely representative, selection of my bigger music collection on it, and I strongly suspect the shuffle function is not as random as it could be.

Sorry, can't resist commenting on what came up, or is that against the rules?

1. Nine Ninch Nails - Piggy (Pretty good)
2. Cop Shoot Cop - Got No Soul ("Will you people please stop jumping under my train" - the lyrics are pure gold! )
3. Nine Inch Nail - Sanctified (That bass!)
4. Firewater - 7th Avenue Static (Really pretty good)
5. Cop Shoot Cop - System Test (Eeeek - that's from some bootleg, and pretty much unlistenable, much as I love these guys)
6. Cop Shoot Cop - Triumphal Theme (Just...um, that one)
7. Echo and the Bunnymen - No Dark Things (Cardiac arrest of a song)
8. Certain General - Will you (Can you say epic?)
9. Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (So glad this came up - classic pop at its best)
10. BRMC - Love Burns (Not the best song on the album this is from, but on the other hand, there isn't a single bad song on that album)
