The 10 Track Mixtape Thread (Song Lists Without Links Will Be Deleted)

[Alfred]

Someone give me a theme to base my next compilation off of. Like, letters, keywords, a genre, or some sort of idea. My last one was kind of random.

First reply wins.

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

Not punk pop

[Alfred]

Everything I like that is not pop punk*?

All right, but I'm not going to do much "regular" punk either.
























*pop punk, not punk pop

[Alfred]

New mix, lacking pop punk.

Note that a lot of stuff was considered, but since it's pretty popular stuff that I figure most of you own anyways (Mars Volta, Pink Floyd), I didn't put it on here.

1. At The Drive-In "Give It A Name"
Well, At The Drive-In would have to be my favorite non pop punk band. This song is off of their 1997 El Gran Orgo EP. It's one of my favorite ATDI songs, and therefore it lands on this compilation.

2. The Northern Pikes "Dream Away"
They're some Canadian rock band, and I have a used copy of one of their CDs. I like quite a few songs on the CD, and this would probably be my favorite. I really like the vocals in this song, as well as the lyrics. I don't listen to much of this band anymore, but once in a while I'll put this song on, or stick that CD in and listen to my favorite songs.

3. Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster "Tough As John Jacobs"
I don't know where to begin. This song is everything I love about Maylene. Sweet riffs, a catchy chorus, and Dallas Taylor's gruff vocals. This is a rockin' tune.

4. The Wallflowers "Sleepwalker"
This is the first time a Wallflowers song will appear on this compilation. This time, a more upbeat song. I think the this song represents the poppier music of The Wallflowers. It's catchy pop-rock with some nice riffs.

5. Sunny Day Real Estate - Theo B
I really need to listen to more SDRE. This is a good song of theirs, a more indie-rock song. I wasn't going to include Seven or In Circles because everyone knows those. What can be said? It's a good song.

6. Texas Is The Reason "Johnny On The Spot"
Okay, this is the only song that I REALLY like by Texas Is The Reason. Their other stuff is pretty good, but this just blows all that stuff out of the water.

7. My Favorite Band "Racer Why"
Yes, that's what the band is called. I was on iLike on Facebook one time and saw that this was a free MP3 and had jsut been uploaded. I downloaded it and loved it. It's funky, rockin', and just a great instrumental track. I thought I should download some of their other stuff today, but it's just random pop punk stuff. This is what they should be making more of.

8. Alexisonfire "Rough Hands"
This was a pretty popular song off of their latest album. It's a slow song. It starts off with Dallas' pretty singing, and then the screaming cuts in. It's got some great lines in it and I hate describing these songs.

9. Billy Talent "This Is How It Goes"
You probably know them for that Fallen Leaves song with the weird music video. This song is off of their first album and is one of their more aggressive songs. It features some pretty tight instrumental sections, and one of my favorite Billy Talent rhythms. I particularly love Ben's screaming during the chorus.

10. The Wallflowers "God Says Nothing Back"
Well, I can see why The Wallflowers were proud of this track. It's a slow, dark, folky song. Jakob Dylan's voice suits the song very well. There's a lot of great little hooks in this song. It's only number 6 on "Rebel, Sweetheart" but it's a great way to end this compilation.

No, they're an unsigned band. Check them out on Garageband.

GarageBand.com : My Favorite Band

I'm not sure if you'll find much like that song though, the other two songs I have by them are pop punk tunes.

And thanks.

[Cobe Kai]

1.The Melvins - The Talking Horse
This song is my favourate of the Melvins, and indeed my favourate of all time! It's mixture of riffs and Dale's amazing drumming make it a great track. The music video is great, too.

2.The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?
This song is probably the band's anthem. The band who created 'loud, quiet, loud' and have influenced so many important bands, this song just makes me happy and I love it so much my band are recording it on the 12th of September.

3.Nirvana - Love Buzz
This song got me into alternative music, which is now the biggest thing in my life musically. Krist's bassline and Kurt's playing with Chad's drumming make this cover one hell of a song!

4.Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow/ Wonderful World
A song that everyone knows, but not the artist, who is a legend. This song cheers me up and drove me to learn to play Ukulele.

5.Creed - My Sacrifice
The band's anthemic song always brings a tear to my eye... this will be played at my funeral. This song epitomises emotion.

6.Screaming Trees - Butterfly
I can't put my finger on what makes this song appeal to me... it has inspired my lyric work and guitar work... this band, this song... amazing.

7.Dirty Bob - Point of No Return
They're a local band I went to see, bought their album. They've got so much talent. After seeing the guitarist work with so many effects pedals and make beautiful and catchy and hard rocking riffs, it inspired me to write the only solo with a wah pedal I've written and liked.

8.Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole
When I heard this song, I fell in love with the band and it has been a staple on my ipod ever since. Their music seems to fit every mood I'm ever in. All of their songs are amazing such as 'Here Come's The Rooster' and 'Them Bones'

9.Army of Freshmen - Juliet
This may seem out of place on this list, but I am a huge fan and friend of them, I even have a signed guitar from them! This song fits me so well. It's basically about a nerd fancying a girl who don't know about him. It's one of their anthemic songs. I love it. I also learned a lot about how to put on a show from their gigs.

10.Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears
The first song I ever saw on kerrang! when I was about 7. Eleven years later, I've seen Zakk Wylde and Ozzy live and Ozzy still remains a huge influence of mine with all of his music from his Sabbath days through to his days now with Zakk Wylde, one of my favourate guitarists of all time. I've learned so much from them.

It was incredibly hard to write this list. I hope nobody disrespects me for it. Since it reflects my alternative background and is just a compilation of what I love.

Enjoy!
