Music Taste

Maerduin's post about his favorite Modding Music reminded me of a post I saw some time ago on another blog (don't remember where) that asked folks to provide a slice of their music taste by putting their MP3 player on shuffle and reporting what songs came up. So I've done that. Here are the first 40 tracks:

10. Crazy by Barenaked Ladies
11. Free Fallin' by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
12. Heart of Gold by Neil Young
13. You Are the Everything by R.E.M.
14. Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
15. Kentucky Moon by The Kinks
16. Someone Else's Song by Wilco
17. Strange Currencies by R.E.M.
18. Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues by The Kinks
19. Desire by U2
20. Hey Joe by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

29. What's the Matter Here by 10,000 Maniacs
30. Alabama Song by The Doors
31. Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Nirvana
32. Yesterday by The Beatles
33. Leave My Wife Alone by John Lee Hooker
34. Cool #9 by Joe Satriani
35. Speak To Me/Breathe by Pink Floyd
36. Sedan Delivery by Neil Young
37. Rebel Yell by Billy Idol
38. Beloved Wife by Natalie Mechant
39. Cuckoo's Nest by Nickel Creek
40. Fall On Me by R.E.M.

I'm not proud of everything up there, but I do admit that I like all these songs. :)

As you can see, I'm not particularly eclectic in my tastes, though there are a few bands on that list that you might not know.

Distribution and representation is interesting. I admittedly do have several R.E.M. and Wilco albums on there, but it's not so biased as this would indicate. While he made appearances, my large collection of Neil Young albums is fairly underrepresented. :) I'm also a bit lacking much in the way of new content--I basically just listen to what I did in high school and my early years of college. ;) Suggestions that complement my interests are welcome--and I'd love to see others around the nwn blogosphere do a similar exercise!
