Your Perfect Sixty Minutes
|
The idea behind this thread actually belongs to the Tympanogram Music Blog who are currently putting together 1000 minutes worth of music but I figured nobody would bother reading through lists of 250 tracks posted one after another, hence 60 rather than 1000. The basic premise is simple – you're going to be stranded on a desert island with an mp3 player that will never need changing but can never be updated again. The player holds exactly sixty minutes of music – bit rates and file size don’t matter. The question: What would you do with the space on the mp3 player? What would be your Perfect Sixty Minutes? Essentially this is an excuse to post "fav ever song" lists but if you're anywhere near the obsessive compulsive I am you'll probably find great pleasure in crafting a playlist that squeezes the most out of the 60 minutes you have. Obviously going under isn't a problem but lets all play along and not go over. And remember, if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself: :[ Anyway this is my attempt: What I'd Say by Ray Charles 4:38 Sleep Now In The Fire by Rage Against The Machine 3:26 London Calling by The Clash 3:24 Last Nite by The Strokes 3:18 Paranoid Android by Radiohead 6:23 Chicago by Sufjan Stevens 6:05 Saeglopur by Sigur Ros 5:00 So Here We Are by Bloc Party 3:52 Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines 3:23 What's It All About by Girl Talk 4:15 We Are Your Friends by Simian & Justice 4:23 Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire 5:07 Skinny Love by Bon Iver 3:58 Blowin In The Wind by Bob Dylan 2:48 TOTAL - 60:00
I tried my best to include tracks from a broad range of genres and periods as having an eclectic taste in music will probably prove essential for fitting in with the desert island scene kids. Some tracks like Saeglopur probably aren't my favourite tracks from the given artist but considering most of the best Sigur Ros tracks are over 8 minutes I had to settle for the single release of Saeglopur. During the process I added and then cut out tracks by Postal Service, Shins, Weezer, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Oasis, Dre, Beirut, Band Of Horses, Jay Z. Pretty happy with my selection though even if it has taken most of this week to hit the 60:00 mark.

Keeping in mind the scenario of being stranded on a desert island, I tried to pick songs that generally put me in a good mood and remind me of certain people or enjoyable times in my life, since I'd want to be in a state of happiness before I died. Kids by MGMT 5:03 Tick Tick Boom by The Hives 3:25 El Caminos in the West by Grandaddy 3:22 The General Specific by Band of Horses 3:07 Bruce Willis Was Dead the Whole Time by Super Mash Bros. 1:59 True Believer by Dragonette 3:43 Creeper by Islands 3:15 My Little Japanese Cigarette Case by Spoon 3:04 You Are a Runner and I am My Father's Son by Wolf Parade 2:55 The Slow Descent into Alcoholism by The New Pornographers 3:57 Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf 8:28 Walk Away, Walk by We Are Wolves 3:24 Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills 3:12 Bohemiam Like You by The Dandy Warhols 3:32 Lay Down the Law by Switches 2:46 Fell in Love With a Girl by The White Stripes 1:50 Smoke Detector by Rilo Kiley 2:58 TOTAL - 60:00

This looks interesting, it really does.
Audioslave- Shadow on the Sun-5:44 Del Amitri- Tell Her This- 3:13 Dream Theater- Wither- 5:26 Darkfall- God Is An Astronaut- 3:42 James Blunt- Same Mistake- 4:58 Forget Her- Jeff Buckley- 5:13 Kings of Leon- Revelry- 3:24 Metallica- The Unforgiven II- 6:36 Sting- Valparaiso- 5:28 Tool- Patient-7:14 Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova- Falling Slowly- 4:04 Total: 60:00 minutes
Not close to a list of my all time favourites- Opeth songs all border on 10 minutes, as do Dream Theater's longer songs, but with the above parameters, this is what I would choose.
------------------- If you're going through hell, keep going.

Cut out Fear Factory, Mattias Eklundh and Biggie for that. Decent selection I'd say, but idk could've done with a bit more jazz I suppose.

If these were the only songs I could listen to, I'd still be extremely unhappy but it would be great to have this selection of songs to entertain me before I go insane. Knights of Cydonia by Muse 6:06
Paranoid Android by Radiohead 6:23
SRXT by Bloc Party 4:52
Someday by The Strokes 3:07
505 by Arctic Monkeys 4:14
Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria 6:15
Starlight by Muse 3:59
Ára bátur by Sigur Rós 8:57
Sarah by Thin Lizzy 3:31
Harrowdown Hill by Thom Yorke 4:39
Trojan Horse by Bloc Party 3:32
Do Me A Favour by Arctic Monkeys 3:27
Classico by Tenacious D 1:02
As you can see, I picked Classico to fit in the 60 minute mark. But it's also a song that would make me laugh, so that's good enough for me.

I'm Not by Panda Bear 4:00 More Extinction by Grails 2:15 Silence Kid by Pavement 3:01 Before and Again by Akron/Family 4:36 Buckets of Rain by Bob Dylan 3:23 E.S.P. by Miles Davis 5:31 The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One by Neutral Milk Hotel 2:00 The King of Carrot Flowers Pts. Two & Three by Neutral Milk Hotel 3:06 I Will Dare by The Replacements 3:17 2080 by Yeasayer 4:55 Near Dark by Burial 3:55 Manic Depression by Jimi Hendrix 3:42 Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice 5:21 Willie the Pimp by Frank Zappa 9:11 Diamond Day by Vashti Bunyan 1:47 Total: 60:00
This was actually easier to compose then I first thought it would be, if there was anything I would change it might be switching out Willie the Pimp for a few other songs just because it's 9 minutes long basically taking up 1/6th of my 60 minutes and I could have probably fit in 2 or 3 more songs, oh well. Man Diamond Day is such a perfect filler. Now I think I'll go listen to my 60 minutes. :3 Mod Edit: Aug 03, 09 by Wobble

Haha, I think I found it harder to align it all rather then just picking the songs. Anyway, they mostly are the songs I have listened to a lot and a mix of soft/slow/up beat/etc. I think I'd be pretty satisfied with this mix and shit, that took a lot longer then expected.

I envy those with straight lines. 
It took me so long to mark mine out and they still weren't straight, so I just edited it now.
