Wonderful.
Just great.
I've worked it down to a miniscule 20 songs... and that was harder than my shit after I eat bricks... this was only including like my top 8 bands... and the Queens 'cuz I love that song... and I even left some out like the Peppers and the Beatles 'cuz I figured they may be covered by others. And Autechre because everyone would skip over it.
Here's what I've got:
Prodigy
5:42 Smack My Bitch Up
5:16 Funky Shit
4:47 Molotov Bitch
Tool
9:24 Lateralis
Incubus
3:03 Make Yourself
3:11 Favorite Things
4:44 Crowded Elevator
Muse
3:33 Dead Star
3:38 Micro Cuts
3:19 Feeling Good
3:22 Hypermusic
Radiohead
3:11 You And Whose Army?
5:09 Idioteque
3:48 No Surprises
Led Zeppelin
4:30 The Ocean
8:43 In the Light
6:19 The Lemon Song
Silverchair
4:03 The Greatest View
Audiovent
4:42 Underwater Silence
Queens of the Stone Age
2:33 You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire
Obviously the fact that we only have 80 minutes for the first volume which is the equivalent of 16 5min songs, is something we should take into consideration. We'll see where we're at though. I think we should just cut the number of trax on the 1st volume before we restrict time limit per song... you lose a lot of the good songs when they can't be over 5 minutes.
Alright, thanks to a customized playlist and a hefty dose of Legend of Zelda III: A Link to the Past for GameBoy Advance SP, I've widdled down my choices to what are currently the top 5 titans on my list.
1. Muse Hypermusic
2. Prodigy Smack My Bitch Up
3. Muse Micro Cuts
4. Incubus Make Yourself
5. Queens of the Stone Age You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire
As far as what we could do with any text appearing in the sleeve... we should have each member write a description of their song or why they chose it... why it's cool, what it does for them, why they want others to hear it, how it represents them, anything relevant along these lines.
Then you've got the problem of the tracklist. No doubt we could create a beautiful masterpiece that flows like bile from a bulemic, but there will no doubt be some who are dissatisfied with the volitale journey. An alternative is to just go down the list of rank... in this case we'd hope that Orgazmo picked a good opener and so forth... but hardly anyone besides the few music-enthusiasts on Nubblies would even care. I'm going to go shit some ideas for a cover.
