The Perfect Album


RED4LIFE

Recommended Posts

Simple, pick 14 songs from different bands/artists that would make the perfect album for you.

Any genre but your only allowed to name the same band or artist once

If you want to leave a reason after each song as to why that song made it onto your perfect album then go for it but no worries if you can't be assed.

If 14 songs is not enough feel free to add 1 or 2 bonus tracks at the end

Here's mine for what its worth

1. Nowhere Again- Secret machines

2. What a waster- The Libertines

3. Pusherman- Curtis Mayfield

4. Rebellion (lies)- Arcade Fire

5. Chillout Tent- the Hold Steady

6. 10am Automatic- The Black Keys

7. The Lost Art of Keeping A Secret- Queens of the Stone Age

8. Welcome to the Terrordome- Public Enemy

9. Ya Mama- The Pharcyde

10. Fake Plastic Trees- Radiohead

11. Down in the Tube Station at Midnight- The Jam

12. 10 Gallon Ascots- Tapes N Tapes

13. Black Math- White Stripes

14. Sympathy for the Devil- Rolling Stones

Shit man, that isnt easy. I think I could have gone on forever. I changed about 4 tracks from my original list too. :disapointed2se:

Some bloke said that I was ruining the atmosphere in the pub when I pulled that one off the duke box but it still makes my top 14.

have you listened to their recent albumn? It's not quite as downbeat as the first one but some quality songs on it.

Nah, not heard it yet. Ive heard its good though.

I loved the Thom Yorke track, Rabbits in the Headlights of the 1st album too. Class
