Smiley said:
1. Brad Paisley "You Need a Man Around Here" Time Well Wasted
2. Metroid Metal "Torvus Bog" (Metroid Prime 2) metroidmetal.com
3. Newman Center Choir "Put on Christ" Heart Speaks to Heart
4. Various "Battle Cry of Freedom" A Musical History of Disneyland
5. Brooks & Dunn "Texas and Norman Jean" Tight Rope
6. Alan Jackson "Love's Got a Hold on You" The Greatest Hits Collection
7. Dwight Yoakam "Guitars, Cadillacs" Just Lookin' For a Hit
8. Howard Shore "The Doors of Durin" LotR: FotR: The Complete Recordings
9. Vince Gill "A River Like You" These Days: Little Brother: The Acoustic Record
10. Garth Brooks "Kickin' and Screamin'" In Pieces

Duplicate artists skipped: Brad Paisley ("Kim," "Farther Along," "Flowers," "Make a Mistake," and "Letter to Me")
Favorite of the 10: "You Need a Man Around Here"

I got quite a diverse group this time, and it only has two songs that were radio singles. I do favor Brad Paisley a lot, but it seems odd that I had so many of his to skip this time. I wonder if iTunes' shuffle function is truly random or has other variables that it considers.

The Newman Center Choir track brings back good memories. I was a member of various choirs at that church during college at University of Arizona, and I know all of the people on the CD.

I don't generally like country, but I do love Dwight Yoakam.
 
Yeah, Dwight's the only one on that list who's represented in my collection (multiple albums, even). Though I do like some old school stuff... Webb Pierce, Lefty Frizzell, and the usual suspects like Johnny Cash and George Jones.
 
I've had the pleasure of seeing Dwight Yoakam in concert twice. He puts on a great show with no nonsense and just wall-to-wall music.
 
TODAY'S

"Venus" - THE SHOCKING BLUE
"No Lies" - GRAND FUNK
"Green River" - CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
"Not Alone Anymore" - TSOL

"Sally" - GRAND FUNK RAILROAD
"I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician" - THE BYRDS

10. The Others - TV Rock vs Dukes of Windsor

Pretty much listen to all these songs. I don't have much fluff on my computer as when my old machine died I only moved my 4 star or above music off my iPod to my current machine, so only the half a dozen new albums I have got since that time have complete playlists on my computer.

I've been going through to find the 10 then going back to listen to them all. Saves leaving the BBS window open for the best part of an hour to type them in.

"Look Some More" is a pretty good song... I like it. Montgomery Gentry's last two albums were pretty good, especially Some People Change. You should check them out.

I listen to them, too, unless the track really annoys me.

Oh no, I always thought that song was a White Stripes original. Or is it a different song with the same title?

I love that song. I used to listen to Faith No More a lot when I was younger.

Here's my list for today:
  • The Beatles - Her Majesty (Abbey Road)
  • The Rolling Stones - The Lantern (The Singles Collection - The London Years 2)
  • David Bowie - Let's Dance (Platinum Collection)
  • The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

I excluded two more songs by Paul McCartney and one by the Beatles.

Oh my, I'm getting old... That's a Burt Bacharach/Hal David song from the '60s. The definitive version IMO -- as usual, again IMO -- was by Dionne Warwick. The Springfield version is really good, too, and I think was recorded first. Elvis Costello used to do it live, too.


Here's another spin:

1. Sam & Dave, "Can't You Find Another Way"
2. The Band, "The Shape I'm In"
3. Mike Post w/ Larry Carlton, "Theme from Magnum P.I."
4. The Flying Burrito Brothers, "Sin City"
5. Woody Guthrie, "Dirty Overhalls"
6. Hüsker Dü, "What's Going On"
7. Joe Ely, "Honky Tonk Masquearde"
8. The Beat Farmers, "Riverside"
9. John Doe & the Sadies, "Before I Wake"
10. The Minutemen, "Toadies"
