Who's up for some iPod Roulette ..... ?

I haven't got anything embarrassing on my MP3 player but I'll do this with my music drive later.

Walls of Jericho - Discovery of Jones

I initially dismissed Walls of Jericho as being tuneless shouty crap. It was only after I listened to their acoustic stuff that I actually started to appreciate them properly. While I still think they are shouty, their songs usually lead to me nodding away if I'm listening. The part that kicks off at 2:17 is a good example. I also really like the fade out to the acoustic part at the end.

Deftones - Lotion

Lyrics that make no sense? Blistering guitar work? Vocals ranging from almost ambient crooning to full-on screaming? All key ingredients for early Deftones. This is another song that never fails to get me nodding along when I hear it.

Within Temptation - Stairway to the Skies

The closing track from their most recent album. Like a fine wine, Sharon den Adel's voice seems to get better and better with age.

Fear Factory - Resurrection

My favourite band playing one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums.

Threat Signal - Another Source of Light

This wouldn't be my choice if I had to pick a track to demonstrate the quality of Threat Signal although it does contain all the ingredients found in their better songs.

Arch Enemy - Dead Bury Their Dead

For a good while I used the intro riff of this song as a warm-up and speed-building trainer. It's great fun to jam along at a higher BPM .

Pearl Jam: Not for You (Live at the Gorge, 1-9-2005)
Soundgarden: Fell on Black Days
Pearl Jam: Why Go (Live in Dublin, 22-6-2010)
Peter Gabriel: Moribund the Burgermeister
Foo Fighters: Breakout
Tenacious Dio

Oh sod it, I'll do another one on account of the Pearl Jam duplication...

Marillion: Waiting to Happen
Feeder: Comfort in Sound
The Who: Tattoo
Iron Maiden: The Trooper
Warren Zevon: Mohammed's Radio
Extreme: Our Father

Fun Lovin' Criminals - I Can't Get With That :cool:

Fear Factory - New Breed

Opeth - Benighted

Kyuss - Apothecaries' Weight

Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni classic

Pixies - There Goes My Gun


Edit: Going to have a go at this on the big iPod now as I'm only shuffling from a select amount of songs meant for my iPhone. Let the embarrassment commence!

Eagles Of Death Metal - Whorehoppin' (Shit, Goddamn)

Biohazard - Black And White And Red All Over (Demo)

Katatonia - Criminals

The Automatic - That's What She Said

Happy Mondays - Mad Cyril (Hello Girls)

Slayer - Live Undead


Better than expected!

OK, this time I'm on my computer. The hub of all my media.

1. Breastfeed - BellX1 (:pac:)
2. Boogie With Stu - Led Zeppelin (Nice!)
3. To The Workers Of The Rock River Valley Region, I Have An Idea Concerning Your Predicament - Sufjan Stevens (An enjoyable interlude from a good album . Quite a long title, though. :P)
4. Freiflug - Megaherz (Perhaps their most well known song. It's good. Very atmospheric.)
5. Crips - Ratatat (I like them. Very laid back electronic music. I recommend the song Nostrand.)
6. Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel

More indie than metal there.

If Nailz gets 3 go's then im going to have another. I hope my extremely inebriated state doesn't effect the results....other than i can't type for sh*t.

Dead right, man! In fact I'll have another... Well done on the Leonard Cohen by the way.


Steve Vai - Still My Bleeding Heart

Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

Underworld - Jumbo

Dr. Dre - Ed-Ucation

Metallica - Sad But True (S&M)

Trevor Dunn - Lying In Bed, Talking About Nothing; Oh god yes! Incredible album, incredible composition for the Avant Garde Jazz fans, awesome bassist too!


I feel like a post whore.

Jazz Odyssey - Liquid Trio Experiment
Not quite as solid as Liquid Tension Experiment, but still weird and wonderful
prog-jazz-avant garde.
Bridge - Marillion
A band that ranges between great and dodgy. This is a short-ish opener to a
concept album.
Tornado Alley - Terry Bozio and Billy Sheehan
The iPod seems to be all about the prog tonight. Two masters of their respective instruments here.
Driven by You - Brian May
Not too sure about his solo stuff, generally prefer (early) Queen, but this
song has some great guitar work.
Midgards Eldar - Enslaved
Finally some metal. Blistering blastbeats, awesome riffs.
Somberling - Galgeras
Dutch (?) black metal that is way too underproduced for my tastes, sounds awful.

Ok, I'll ave another go -

Duran Duran - New Religion - slightly embarrassing ... but actually the bass playing on this is excellent
Symphony X - Fallen - Nice slice of prog-metal but far from their best.
The Chocolate Watch Band - Inner Mystique - Quite hippy-ish...sounds a lot like Sabbath's Planet Caravan
Origin - Perversion of Hate - From the Sublime to the killer. try and imagine Morbid Angel still being good and thats Origin.
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train (Live) - Back when Ozzy wasn't ****, ie when Randy Rhodes was in the band.
Iced Earth - My Own Saviour (Live) - Now yer talkin! Great stuff.

Might aswell give this a go.

1. Rain when I die AIC
2. Ocean - Led Zeppelin
3. ex Files - Backyard babies(forgotten I had this album actually)
4. Lee - Tenacious D
5. Fire - Jimi Hendrix
6. Married with Children - Oasis

Peeping Tom feat. Dub Trio - We're Not Alone (Remix)
Great song, love Dub Trio too, great noise band.

The Haunted - D.O.A.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - The Running Board
One of their best.

Samael - Till We Meet Again

Faith No More - King For A Day

Beastie Boys feat. Cypress Hill - So What'cha Want
I believe I just won on the coolness stakes! The two best Hip-Hop groups ever in my opinion.

As well as two Mike Patton numbers. Thats my fave Peeping Tom song from the album too.

Your shuffle works well!! I may need to reshuffle from my Itunes on mac instead of the Iphone as I feel I am getting short changed in the coolness stakes!!

Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run (Live from the Main Point 1975)
