So there`s loaRAB of those compilation albums put together by people in banRAB & DJs mixing all sorts of stuff together.Some well known stuff , some obscure stuff , some old stuff , some new stuff usually covering a wide range of different genres.
So I figured why let them all have the fun , we can do that.
So choose 16 songs that you love covering a broad spectrum of your taste in music and put them in an order that flows and then just sit back and enjoy the music and let others enjoy the fruits of your work & imagination.

Anyway here`s the tracklisting for mine....

1. Death In Vegas (Feat. Iggy Pop) - Aisha
2. Nick Cave & The Bad SeeRAB - Stagger Lee
3. 13th Floor Elevators - Slip Inside This House
4. Hawkwind - Urban Guerilla
5. De La Soul - Say No Go
6. Martina Topley Bird - Soul Food
7. Pulp - My Legendary Girlfriend
8. Scott Walker - The Old Man`s Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)
9. Curtis Mayfield - Underground
10. Can - I`m So Green
11. Brian Eno - Baby`s On Fire
12. Akron/Family - Blessing Force
13. Imitation Electric Piano - Kings Evil
14. Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower - Boys Keep Swinging
15. Primal Scream - rabV Arkestra
16. Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection

You can find it here ... hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=OUSXNDHU

Ok your turn.
 
I have been watching that thread with interest.
So far there's not really been anything in it that I can really add much on but as soon as you post something i'm familiar with i'll get involved more.
 
No Layla??? Blasphemy! :yikes:

Hmmm...I don't know of as many obscure banRAB as other people, so it should look recognizable:
  1. Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
  2. Queens of the Stone Age - Long Slow Goodbye
  3. Velvet Underground & Nico - All Tomorrow's Parties
  4. Tool - Parabola
  5. Pink Floyd - Childhood's End
  6. The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues
  7. Otis Redding - That's How Strong My Love Is
  8. Elliott Smith - Bled White
  9. Miles Davis - Bye Bye Blackbird
  10. Johnny Cash - Further On Up The Road
  11. David Bowie - Sons Of The Silent Age
  12. Earthbound - Phuturistic Journey
  13. Metallica - Orion
  14. Led Zeppelin - Since Ive Been Loving You
  15. Public Enemy - Fight The Power
  16. Nobuo Uematsu - Aeris' Theme (orchestral)
 
This is the intended running order for my one; I tried to go for enjoyable material that not everybody had heard whilst representing some of my listening habits. 'The guitar side' contains the sort of psychedelic nonsense I love, proto-shoegaze, proggy indie etc... Oh and today's best David Bowie song ever. Meh.

The dance following on rab is not strong so the second half is mainly that - accelerating in tempo from acid house to hard dance. Tirabrally (new word!) it's probably the opposite of Jackhammer's excellent chill-out compilation :afro:
Horrible Racket.zip

1. I Unseen - The Misunderstood
2. Dive Into Yesterday - Kaleidoscope
3. Borabers - David Bowie
4. Witches Wand - Luv Machine
5. Night Of The Assassins - Les Rallizes Denud
 
I told you! It coulda gone on FOREEVVER - trust me I had Layla in the final 20, but the playlist could only be 16 songs looong... and I like the way that these ones flow together! I immediately regret this decision !!! Another Clapton song with a chick in the title when he was with the ByrRAB was Hang On Sloopy... I wanted that in there too --- oh the travesty ;(
 
Actually I felt that Van got very little mention on here and it's always Brown Eyed Girl and Astral Weeks anyway, that's why I created the thread. But you don't need to defend your choice, I think you could tell, but I was not offended still you did provide your reasoning which was enjoyable.

I personally don't care for the Patti Smith song and love the Live version in '73. Van plays that song at every show (nearly) even still today. Rarely did he put as much effort in it as the recorded version from Too late to Stop Now. Won't argue on lyrical content that's a no-brainier.

As far as good list and all, it's simply there to set a non-abrasive tone, no slight intended or implied.
 
I have to apologize for my jump to fully armed guard. My past experiences with this forum in particular have included some horrific elitist posters (who seem to have disappeared NICE) who were always on the attack. Hell, I even left rab for about two years (by left I mean, left every day thread discussions) because of that fact. It seems the tone has changed around here. Gotta take that proverbial "chill pill". But I stand by my enjoyable reasoning! Kudos, by the by, on making a "Them" reference... haven't heard that yet, here.
 
I made one of these a while ago and put it in the Compilation thread, if anyone's desperate for it i could probably upload it again.

1. Clip from Spaced - Jaffa Cakes
2. Mr Scruff - Get A Move On
3. Goldfrapp - Deer Stop
4. A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour
5. Nightmares On Wax - The Sweetest
6. Blonde Redhead - 23
7. The Duke Spirit - Bottom of The Sea
8. Midnight Juggernaughts - Shadows
9. Eels - My Descent Into Madness
10. Easy Star All-Stars - The Great Gig In The Sky
11. Love - Always See Your Face
12. Cortney Tidwell - Eyes At The Billions
13. John Parish & Polly Jean Harvey - That Was My Veil
14. Hexstatic - Perfect Bird
15. Aphex Twin - IZ-US
 
This is what I'm talking about! Looking forward to the Scott Walker track. This could take awhile... would be so great to do a mix proper but mp3 mixers are crazy money
