  1. In a similar vein to some other posts, if you were to make a mix CD of your absolute favourite songs, by any artist, what would it be?

    Rules

    1. Only one song per artist, except for your favourite artist who's allowed two
    2. Maximum 15 songs
    3. Try to represent all genres of music you listen to
    4. Idea is to try an create a CD that if you were stranded on an island contains songs you would never tire of hearing and would never want to skip.

    Here's mine in a decent listenable order:-


    1. Where The Streets Have No Name (duh...)
    2. Map of the Problematique (Muse)
    3. Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen)
    4. The Thrill is Gone (BB King)
    5. The Scientist (Coldplay)
    6. Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven)
    7. Head Home (Midlake)
    8. Strange World 12" Version (Push)
    9. La Cienega Just Smiled (Ryan Adams)
    10. Open Your Eyes (Snow Patrol)
    11. Street Spirit (Radiohead)
    12. Come Away With Me (Norah Jones)
    13. Brothers in Arms (Dire Straits)
    14. One (duh again!..)
    15. The Show Must Go On (Queen)
