A comment by Digsthepack in another thread made me recall this from another forum.

If you could only listen to 10 more songs for the rest of your life... What songs would you pick?

Can you change this to 10 albums? 10 songs, I'd go nuts.

How long do I get to llive?

Actually, this one is completely impossible for me regardless. I probably can go a 6 months or more without hearing any particular song, but the list that is going to be played repeatedly if I have more than 6 months is far too long to reduce to a top 10.

I might be able to reduce it to 10 albums, though.

(These are not listed in rank order.)

Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life
Simon and Garfunkel, Greatest Hits
Elton John, Greatest Hits
Dexter Gordon, Go
Miles Davis, Birth of the Cool
Moody Blues, Days of Future Passed
Nightwish, End of an Era
Parliament, Greatest Hits
Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
Robert Cray, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Hmm...not much that would be considered rock, no country....guess I can't even manage a top ten album list.

fortunately, in the age of iPod, limiting yourself this way wouldnt be necessary....

Paradise on Earth ...

Desert island in south Pacific, Jessica Biel, two fully loaded iPods rechargeable by solar power.

The game was 10 songs, not 10 albums. You're breaking the rules.

With the amount of music I listen to, I'd rather not listen to music at all than tease myself with just 10 different songs. I have 12000 songs in my iPod. A lot of them I haven't even gotten illegally. And I've heard them all at least once during my lifetime. Use your math skills and count how many lonely nights I had during high school.

I understand I broke the rules. I also said I couldn't play by the rules of this particular game.

:)

---

Though Finland's comment about lonely nights made me think of one likely to challenge for top ten inclusion

The Bee Gees, Lonely Days

Edit to add:
Scratch that, I'm not even sure it's the best Bee Gees song.....I started a Joke, Massachusetts, New York Mining Disaster 1941...crap...+2 to Rock for starting this damn thread, -1 for giving an impossible task.

No worries, I was just busting your balls
