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

[cardboard adolescent]

1. King Jammy - Slow Motion Dub.
Yes! This is quite excellent. Exactly what I would hope for.
2. Grand National - Going To Switch The Lights On.
the juxtaposition definitely highlights the dub influence on this track
(i can hear it, anyway) good, catchy song. reminds me a bit of dandy warhols
3. The Cranes - Bewildered.
i do enjoy this type of music. need more by this band
4. Mount Eerie- No Flashlight.
lol, mount eerie says it all.
5. Loop - Shot With A Diamond.
i like loop, but not when i'm paying too much attention
6.The Stranglers - Threatened.
"You want big fat bass lines?" Umm.. does a bear **** in the woods?!
good track, but were the synths really necessary?
7. Bernard Herrman - Taxi Driver Theme
elevator jazz, i prefer staircase jazz
8. The Toasters-Marlboro Man
yeah, ska is fun
9. Tin Machine-Pretty Thing.
pretty thing = pretty good
10. Nitzer Ebb-Fun To Be Had.
i'm sure it's classic, it's also horrendously dated
11. Lisa Gerard-The Insider.
another moody female vocalist piece, cool beans
12. Folk Implosion-Natural One.
i expect more from lou barlow
13. Clayhill-Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.
wasn't fitting my mood so i skipped it
14. Roy Budd-Get Carter Theme.
awesome
15. Graham Reynolds-Aphids.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[Alfred]

1. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - The Ramones
Simple, light-hearted punk rock. What more can you ask for?

2. Know Your Enemy - Rage Against The Machine
This song is some of the catchiest and best guitar work from Tom Morello. It's also the truth, especially at the end of the song. "Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite, all of which are american dreams".

3. Invalid Litter Dept - At The Drive In
This song is angsty, metaphoric and emotional. An excellent and neccessary post-hardcore song.

4. I'm The One - Descendents
Great, non-commercial pop-punk.

5. Over My Head (Better Off Dead) - Sum41
I don't care what anyone says about Sum41. They're mainstream, but awesome, and this is their best song, in my opinion.

6. I Wanna Get A Mohawk (But Mom Won't Let Me Get One) - AFI
Hardcore, energetic, and snotty. THIS is punk rock.

7. From The Bottom Of My Heart - The Wallflowers
This is a beautiful acoustic song by one of my favorite bands. It is very relaxing.

8. I Can't Explain - The Who
In its simplicity, it is awesome. One of the best songs of the 60's.

9. Adam's Song - Blink 182
My favorite song. Ever. It's a song about suicide, but the last part is upbeat, and speaks from the perspective of the person had they not committed suicide.

10. And The Hero Will Drown - Story Of The Year
This song is intense, emotional, energetic, and amazing. The greatest emo/screamo/hardcore/whateverthekidscallitthesedays song there is. I've loved it since I first heard it, that long-ass time ago. It goes from screaming, to melodic singing to heavy guitar. It's a very chaotic song that makes you want to just start screaming with him.

Link added for my comp.

They do divide opinion don't they? I like the first album though and as it was under a different moniker and not sold as a Bowie product, I think we should cut him some slack. To be fair the album died on it's arse but I still like it.

[Vandyman]

1 Tommy Bolin - Post Toastie
My favorite rock song of all time. Too bad Tommy died so young
2 The Shady Days - I'll make you pay
Just great 60's music
3 Bob Marley - Redemption Song
Bob was the greatest
4 Katchafire - Get Away
Closest Reggae there is to Bob
5 Ike and Tina - Shake a Tail Feather
Fun song, Original, much better than Blues Brothers version
6 Koko Taylor - Wang Dang Doodle
Being from Chicago, I gotta love this
7 Bob Seger - Death Row
Pre-top 40 Bob Seger, Creepy Song Indeed
8 Midnight Oil - One Country
Sing along with Oil
9 Michael Schenker - On and On
I have always loved this song
10 Michael Franti - Light up your Lighter
Love the line - War for oil is a war for the beast, the war on terror is a
war on peace

Does anyone download these anymore?

Old/new/any genre...it doesn't even matter if you think most here have heard them before.
What matters, is that you list the tracks in your post along with the link and a little write up to explain your choices.

Just throw 10 tracks together and post them here.

Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

1. Gene Chandler - Nothing Can Stop Me.
A Northern Soul favourite and a tune that carries a personal message and a few bad memories.
Gene Chandler means every word of this song, sang with real soul.

2. Iggy Pop - The Passenger
Another track that takes me back to a certain youth club...which involves hanging around and acting cool.

3.Edwin Starr - 25 Miles
Another Northern Soul standard and a storming floorshaker of a tune.
Turn the volume up to 11 for this one.

4.Talking Heads - Life During Wartime
I love this band and this is my favourite 'Heads' track by far. Taken from the 'Stop Making Sense' live album. Easily the best version.

5. Don Thomas - Come on Train
Easy to see where Kevin Rowland from Dexy's Midnight Runners got his singing style from. An old N.S favourite and one I never tire of hearing, addictive from the start.

6. The Jam - The Butterfly Collector
Poetic.

7. Space Monkeys - March Of The Scarecrows.
A legendary Manchester band in the mould of the Stone Roses.
Only produced one album, 'The Daddy Of Them All' before falling victim to Tony Wilsons Factory Records going arse up.
Years before their time.
Singalong with a Manc sneer and two fingers up to the world. Epic.

8. Our Love Is In The Pocket - JJBarnes.
Rare soul track from JJ Barnes. Great voice complete with girly backing vocals.
The magic lies with the lyrics.

9. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart.
I said recently elsewhere on these boards that this record gave me hope for music following the demise of punk (at the time, this is how it was perceived)
One of my favourite ever tracks.

10. Joy Division - Transmission
This one song epitomises what Ian Curtis was all about.
His epileptic state while performing this song, will live with me forever.

I have just listened to these 10 songs, all are excellent
