Shuffle your iPod, list the first 5. HONEST!

[The Companyman]

Be honest now, list the first 5 after the random shuffle:

Here is my first attempt.

ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses
Jimi Hendrix - Star-Spangled Banner
DropKick Murphys - I'm Shipping up to Boston
Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger in Paradise
Metallica - Ennio Morricone's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly's Theme/Cover

Which suprises me because I have alot more OLDER shit on here than this.

[Ava]

Asia - Only time will tell
Sissel, Espend Lind - Where the lost ones go
Lee Ann Womack - I hope you dance
Arash - Behnaz
Queen - Save me

I would swear I have some better songs there 

[Thedus]

Dirty Magic - The Offspring
American Witch - Rob Zombie
Gentle on My Mind - Glen Campbell
Theme From Close Encounters of the Third Kind - John Williams
Get Off - The Dandy Warhols

[Henry Krinkle]

ok, I'm not down with you kids and your iPods, but if I stick my trusty communist creative Zen on random, here are the first 5 tracks:

Meat Beat Manifesto - Now (From the album 99%)
Clark (AKA Chris Clark) - Beg (From the album Turning Dragon)
Front 242 - Serial Killers Don't Kill Their Girlfriend (From the album 05:22:09:12 Off)
Snake River Conspiracy - How Soon Is Now? (From the album Sonic Jihad)
Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming (From the album The Downward Spiral)

Wow, that's safer than I could have hoped for. I was expecting it to throw up a bunch of Britney Spears and Gwen Stephany (yes, I do have some on my mp3 player, sorry) but instead, I get a bunch of tunes I'm actually proud to admit I like. I'm going to keep skipping until something slightly embarrassing appears...

22nd track - britney - lucky. Told you. But up until then it was all Queen Adreena, NIN, Meat Beat, Boxcutter, FLA, Peeping Tom and stuff. Of the 2038 tracks on there, a surprising number of them are kinda respectable.

[The Companyman]

Try it again and see if I too can avoid exposure, and a lame title or 5..

Lynyrd Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
The Ren & Stimpy Theme
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight

Man I miss old Ren & Stimpy!

[Hunter]

Kids In Glass Houses - Dance All Night
Ladytron - Fighting In Built Up Areas
Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days
Ladytron - International Dateline
Foo Fighters - Everlong (Tune!)

[InspectorDC]

No participating in this thread for me now... why the hell do they have to make those mp3 players so damned tiny? Guess what was in a pocket when I did laundry...

D'oh. That sucks inspector

I quite like this, so here's my next random 5:

John Frusciante - Anne (From Curtains)
Front 242 - Headhunter 2000 [Peak] Mix (From Headhunter 2000)*
Tribe - The Mad Capsule Markets (From Oscillator in Distortion)
Sisters of Mercy - Body and Soul (From A Slight Case of Overbombing)**
Amy Winehouse - He Can Only Hold Her (From Back to Blank)
House of Pain - Word is Bond (From Same As It Ever Was)

Well, not as good a selection, but still nothing I wouldn't admit to liking. I'm gonna leave this thing on shuffle. You may see some highlights of what crops up in the 'currently listening to' thread.

*shit mix, great track
** a nice goth track, to mourn the loss of the Inspector's mp3 player. I was hoping for the cure but that'll do it.

EDIT: I just noticed that's 6 tracks. Damn, if only I'd stuck with the required five, you'd never know about the House Of Pain album on my mp3 player.

[The Companyman]

Queen - Fat Bottomed Girls
Hootie and the Blowfish - Let Her Cry
Bob Marley/Whalers - Three Little Birds
Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle
Theme from The A-Team

Yeah I like Hottie and the Blowfish! EXPOSED!!!

[fitzley]

Damn, if only I'd stuck with the required five, you'd never know about the House Of Pain album on my mp3 player.

I have two on mine. 

[severen76]

About A Girl - Nirvana
Scum Of The Earth - Rob Zombie
Mexican Blackbird - ZZ Top
Rape Me - Nirvana
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Johnny Cash

...Not embarresing. Which is a surprise.

[Henry Krinkle]

I have two on mine. 

haha, well snap actually. Got the first two there.

I'm still listening to the mp3 player on random, seems to be throwing up a shit load of nine inch nails now. I've had fragments of The Fragile, Downward Spiral, With Teeth, And All That Could Have Been, Pretty Hate Machine and Year Zero, with a little bit of 1000 Homo DJs and Public Enemy thrown in for variation in the last hour or so

[The Companyman]

[Henry Krinkle]

L.A. Style - James Brown is Dead

Awesome, I was listening to that the other day

PACHELBEL - Canon

Brilliant piece, but it always reminds me of big hardware stores - that and Minuet From Quintet In E. I fact it just seams to be any well known Pachelbel piece. I dunno what the hardware store preference is stateside, but if you walking to B&Q or Great Mills or some big garden store and you're probably gonna be listening to Pachelbel
