10 random tracks on your media player

Well I haven't read this whole thread, but from what I have seen, clearly my musical tastes are not in step with the majority of this board. This should be rather amusing. So I'm pressing shuffle on my Iphone and here's what I get:

3) As Soon as I Hang up the Phone, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn
4) Wide Open Road, Johnny Cash (original Sun recording)
5) Personal Jesus, Johnny Cash
6) High Noon, Frankie Lane
7) Take it Easy, The Eagles
8) The Walls of a Prison, Johnny Cash
9) Uncle Pen, Bill Monroe
10) My Give a Damn's Busted, Jo Dee Messina
 
gh4chiefs, you are not alone. There are at least two other people who have posted in this thread with predominantly country lists.

Holiest of Thieves, The Myriad

Yeah I've seen a few since I posted that. I was kind of surpised at how tame what came up randomly on my Iphone was though, it could have been a lot more "hardcore" (aka REALLY OLD stuff) like Roy Acuff, Little Jimmy Dickens, Carter Family, or the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet.

Like I said, I have unique tastes for someone less than 100 years old. :lol:

Apparently my top 10 artists by way of number of tracks is:

1. Nine Inch Nails (248)

That's true of course, but equally by the time I have singles, bootlegs and rarities everyone has a few fair shot. For instance, I have all 8 Led Zep albums, plus Coda and the 3-disc live album, but due to rarities and b-sides I have significantly more music by SOAD, who only actually have 5 albums.

Another run:
Every Time I Die - For the Record (from New Junk Aesthetic)
Lovage - Archie and Veronica (From Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By) (Mike Patton's easy listening side-project from 2001)
Soundgarden - Burden in My Hand (from Down on the Upside)
Black Sabbath - Wicked World/Supernaut/Jam [Live] (from Past Lives)
System of a Down - Snowblind/Dam [Live] (Bootleg, London 1999)
Radiohead - The National Anthem (from I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings)
Tomahawk - Ghost Dance (from Anonymous)
Mansun - Love Is...(Home Demo) (from Kleptomania)
Queens of the Stone Age - Do it Again (from Songs for the Deaf)
Nine Inch Nails - Starfuckers Inc. (Remix, Things Falling Apart)
Will Haven - Jaworski (from WHVN)
 
1. Evanescence "Lies" Origin
2. Nightwish "Come Cover Me" Wishmaster
3. Papa Roach "....To Be Loved" The Paramour Sessions
4. Benassi Bros. "Light" Phobia
5. E Nomine Mitternact (Extended Version) Mitternact
6. Yuki Kajiura "Duran Shoukan" MY-HIME Original Soundtrack
7. Psychic Lover "Lost in Space" Single
8. Kamelot "Karma" Karma

2.) Leaving Trunk - Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal
3.) Owls: The Subject - MillenniuM OST
