Even though I do own a significant number of those, not a single one is loaded on my iPod at the moment. I guess it's crap then. Man, I'm such a loser for having a constantly evolving taste in music.

Posting a generic list of the songs we HAVE to have is the sort of topic that you love to rip apart. Just because I don't have those tracks on my MP3 doesn't mean I'm crap and I can argue that a boring cliched list of songs is the reason why I DON'T own a generic piece of hardware and gladly listen to my own collection of tunes that are every bit as good as those tunes even if people don't have the individualism to search for them instead of conforming to conformist cliches.

I know iTunes is shit, it doesn't take a law degree to figure that out. Which is why I don't use it, it's not exactly that difficult to switch to foobar, MediaMonkey, WinAmp, whatever you like. AAC files never even come into the picture.

The iPod, on the other hand, is a miracle of industrial design and is so laboriously intuitive that it's almost idiotic to try and write it off as a "conformist cliche". And this is coming from a guy who hates Apple (Macs are shit too, by the way).

Why try to derail a thread that's clearly productive? We all know you don't listen to sacred cows (apparently something you pride yourself on), what reason would you have to get offended by someone offering their own hundred-song list? How is this any worse than the hundred-albums list that people spread around?

In the immortal words of the OP:

I ****ing, ****ing, ****ing, ****ing HATE Sugar Mountain.

I'd be lucky to have 3 of these songs on my player...

jackhammer · 04-25-2010, 08:06 PM

The topic in hand is tracks we should have on 'our IPOD' and not our PC based media player ( which should play every file known to man if we play that way).

What you are saying is that I should have those files on my player and if I dare to counteract it I am out of order?

I like to move with the times and think progressively. Just because I don't agree with a personal list doesn't mean I am rocking the boat.

I do apologise for listening to music that doesn't fit into the cliche that my age suggests.

When I suggest songs and albums that people half my age haven't even heard of, then I think I should at least be given a little respect for suggesting my choices or should I just conform to please everyone?

I don't think the OP is meant to put anybody down. I just think it's a thinly veiled list of his favorite music. Nothing wrong with that - but a thread may be over the top.

While I've heard over 80 of those, these are the only ones I have:

The fuck are you on about?

Unless I'm deeply mistaken, this thread is just a list of songs this guy likes. You can continue playing this role if you want, it's not winning you anything.

Just to clarify I have ZERO of those songs on my iPod.

The only one that is even in my library is The Clash song. But it's not on my iPod because I only put new music I'm checking out on my iPod since it's an old Nano with only 4 GB...
