[Don Quixote]

I’m ready for some playlists.

Just under a fortnight away.

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm devoting Monday to getting square with this thread.

 

[jwb]

I'm devoting Monday to getting square with this thread.

Me too - I've stayed away because after the last three drafts I was a bit burned out. But I have my 31 songs chosen and am compiling links.

Give me some time
I'm living in twilight

 

[Zegras11]

All the lists submitted so far are in great shape and ready to go...

Song Title, press RETURN

Cut and paste Spotify or Y2 link on next line.

I would have started this about right now, but I'm headed next Saturday to Salt Lake City to see Duran Duran and The Cure. Drive back Monday June 5. Will make sure all lists are good that night and start the next day.

 

[titusbramble]

I really need to get round to sorting my list

I really need to get round to sorting my list

I just went through mine and did my final ranking.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

List is in!

Anxiously awaiting the reveal.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I found a live version of 25 or 6 to 4 from 1979 that teases Roundabout.

 

[shuke]

List submitted. Didn't agonize on the rankings, and there are about 30 songs that just missed the cut.

There aren't studio album options for 6 of my selections so had to go with a live version, but I tried to keep them short for the Spotify list. I chose a live version for a 7th for a reason I will give later.

I stuck with only original Phish content, so I'll share something I wanted to include but didn't, since it first appeared on an album by Page McConnell's side project Vida Blue.

Most Events Aren't Planned

I liked it. It might be the first Phish song I ever listened to in its entirety. Maybe it helps that I like jazz and am not put off by the fact that the jam for over 10 minutes.

Hey, I think that'd be an apt descriptor: "Jam" band. I think it might catch on.

I think Page needs a few more keyboards...

Easily the best song on the s/t Vida Blue album.

 

[jwb]

Ok, list submitted. 31 ELO songs. I could have done with maybe another 2-3 slots, but I don't feel I'm leaving anything notable out either. They have a lot of good songs. I remember reading years ago that they had the most top 40 hits without ever having a #1. That may not be true anymore, and could even be a figment of my faulty memory, but I do seem to recall that.

I didn't pay any attention to a "countdown" - I spread out the order so as not to have too many songs from the same albums together - there are three albums that are pretty heavily represented, and a few (the much later ones) don't appear at all.

 

[jwb]

@Zegras11 - I did bookmark the edit button, but when I go to it it's blank. Not that it matters - I don't need to edit anything but want to make sure you got the list.

I just PM'd your list to you. It came out fine

 

[Mister CIA]

Here goes. I'll attempt to submit my list while holding my own beer.

I sorta did the opposite of this. One album is at the top, in order except for one song. The rest are scattered around. I wasn't sure how many here would know the Deep Tracks anyway.

 

[Mister CIA]

Feels like I should be live blogging this (Tik Tok-ing, for the Zipsters).

Artist Name: Frank Black (Francis and(or not) the Catholics), the artist formerly known as Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV)

I almost went with CMKT4 myself. Looking forward to your playlist.

And a music-draft minimalist. I'm not wired to ranking 31 songs by any artist in order of like, so my list will be ordered alphabetically.

My list is not deep in a musically geeky way. My favorite songs are those that lean hard into pop tendencies, with a dash of anthemic rock. This is reflected by the healthy inclusion of cover songs. Have not tallied them, but feels like there are 3-4, maybe 5?

 

[Mister CIA]

I've submitted my list of 31 Frank Black songs. Reeanactment

Now I wait to find out what I did wrong.

 

[Mister CIA]

My not so humble brag, my 31-song playlist weighs less than 106 minutes.

 

[Galileo]

My not so humble brag, my 31-song playlist weighs less than 106 minutes.

I have a 62 song playlist at 221 minutes which is about 3 1/2 minutes per song on average. 10 of the first 31 are under 3 minutes.

 

[Scoresman]

My 31 songs are at 210 minutes. Sorry... post rock.

I'm surprised because I like a lot of Sigur Ros's shorter, poppier songs. I may rearrange so that a bunch of the longer ones aren't bunched together.

Sigur Ros is a tough nut to crack. Appreciate you including shorter songs.

There is one Sigur Ros song that melts my heart as if it were exposed to the heat of a thousand songs. Hope it's on your list.

Rock on!

 

[Yo Mama]

My progified playlist of 31 Genesis songs is 233 minutes.

 

[Raging weasel]

Since no one would take my money I submitted my list myself- hope it came out correctly.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Working on my Dino list. Before I get farther, are we preferring Spotify or YouTube links? Is Spotify easier if somebody is compiling a daily playlist?

More like Genesis + Exodus

I don’t really have a preference in the thread.

I hope everyone posts their Spotify playlist at the end of the thread because that’s how I’d like to listen to each artist.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I was very tempted to go here for fun just because at the last minute I remembered playing the hell out of this soundtrack back in the day, but in the end I stuck to my guns and more of the Dinosaur Jr core text. But, but for your listening pleasure as we wait for kickoff....

I've been away from the boards and this thread for a bit. Is there not a daily Spotify playlist planned?

If not, and I can be of assistance, zegrass can PM me, and we could get something going.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My Chicago playlist is 210 minutes (and actually has 40 tracks because my list includes some suites and segues that Spotify has as separate tracks).

Prediction: I have a hunch -- and it's based on nothing more than that -- that @krista4 will like my #12 song. (No, it doesn't sound like the Beatles.)

 

[Mister CIA]

Could I change my pick to this song 31 consecutive times back to back?

Fruit Fly

 

[Mister CIA]

Suggestion for the person choosing Elton John songs.

I'll see myself out. Bye

31 or 40 to 210

Are yours in order of favorite? I know several were doing otherwise.

This is not to say they didn't sound like the Beatles sometimes.

Got to Get You into My Life, live in 1975

Submission in. Hopefully correctly.

[Scoresman]

Glad to see mine won't be the longest playlist. There's a handful of songs that are phenomenally better live, but the live versions as expected, can stretch into 15 minutes in length so I included the studio versions. I'll just post the live versions in my writeup and tell people they really should listen to that one if they like the song.
