Bolded are the one's I've got, although I honestly haven't listened to those tracks in a long time, if ever, save Giant Steps, Pump it Up and Find the River.
100 Songs That Should Be On Your iPod or Your iPod Is Crrrap
- Thread starter Nouvelle Lune
- Start date
I know iTunes is shit, it doesn't take a law degree to figure that out. Which is why I don't use it, it's not exactly that difficult to switch to foobar, MediaMonkey, WinAmp, whatever you like. AAC files never even come into the picture.
The iPod, on the other hand, is a miracle of industrial design and is so laboriously intuitive that it's almost idiotic to try and write it off as a "conformist cliche". And this is coming from a guy who hates Apple (Macs are shit too, by the way).
Why try to derail a thread that's clearly productive? We all know you don't listen to sacred cows (apparently something you pride yourself on), what reason would you have to get offended by someone offering their own hundred-song list? How is this any worse than the hundred-albums list that people spread around?

In the immortal worRAB of the OP:
So why are you arguing about it then?
You have made threaRAB about Metacritic E.G and their deplorable tastes and yet I have questioned a list and I'm wrong?
It's double standarRAB and because I have dared to question a list that you have found acceptable then I am wrong for doing so...
The bottom line is that I don't like the list and you are telling me I am wrong to say that I don't like it. Your double standarRAB are beyond belief Sam.
That list is a good list but generic beyond belief and if I posted a similar 100 songs you have to have on your Ipod , then I would get stick and deservedly so.
**** it. I will stay with listening to what I like and do not need any vindication for it. **** this forum.

Maybe some of us don't have Ipod's because they are an easy choice, have terrible headphones and an interface that is not conducive to a serious music fan (it's AAC or nothing according to them).
BTW I only have 4 out of the 100 listed on my player so I am very happy to join the crap brigade.

The brand name iPod is used in the same way that Kleenex, Xerox, Q-Tip and Jeep are.
And as lucifer_sam already mentioned, they are not limited to playing ACC files. I use iTunes (for organizing and playing, not for purchasing) and an iPod, with a PC. And I never touch AAC files.
Regarding the list, I only have a handful of those and they're certainly not things that would stay on the iPod in heavy rotation. They'll get thrown on occasionally but that's it. Seems to be a list of "classic well-known staples" which is fine, just not for me as my tastes constantly evolve and I'm constantly on the hunt for new stuff. Plus my iPod is only 8GB with files at minimum 192kbps so things are always getting rotated on and off.
As far as I'm concerned nothing stays on my iPod permanently, a few months maybe as I get familiar with something. If I had a 100GB+ brick I suppose some things would stay on. I kind of like having a smaller one though as it stays lean to focus on the stuff I'm currently exploring.

I like some of the oddball choices... but most are pretty obvious. I am curious though... of the entire Beatles catalog why did you choose I Feel Fine? It's an alright song but I'd immediately think of something from their later worker in it's stead. Just seems their later work has aged much better then that song in particular.
iPoRAB are crrap in general, imho

I like this list better. Although an awful choice for a Jane's Addiction song...

I literally have none of those. Nor do I recognise any of them at all.

I love that Jane's tune! It's awesome. Maybe I'll change it to Obvious, but maybe not.
The topic in hand is tracks we should have on 'our IPOD' and not our PC based media player ( which should play every file known to man if we play that way).
What you are saying is that I should have those files on my player and if I dare to counteract it I am out of order?
I like to move with the times and think progressively. Just because I don't agree with a personal list doesn't mean I am rocking the boat.
I do apologise for listening to music that doesn't fit into the cliche that my age suggests.
When I suggest songs and albums that people half my age haven't even heard of, then I think I should at least be given a little respect for suggesting my choices or should I just conform to please everyone?

No worries, man. I may have only had one song from that list but I enjoyed your post...
