Guest prerogative Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 All great songs, as you'd expect, no more than one song per band, because that's the rules. Each song, just, sheer, class. That's me, not my, but me story, & i'm sticking to it.Plan A - The LibertinesAlbion - Baby shamblesIn The City - RazorlightMaybe Someday - The ordinary BoysCharmless man - BlurGas panic - OasisMilk man - Aphex twinSorted for E's & Whizz - PulpBlank Expression - The speicalsCelebrate your mother - Eighties matchbox b-line disasterTeardrop - Massive AttackYour mother has a penis - GLCAlmanac - The othersSwastika eyes - Primal scream (chemical bros. remix)edit; Made it for winamp purposes, just now. k? thanks!

Dead_Fashion Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 yeh i have this habbit of putting the same artist twice on a compilation. sometimes i feel if i've put one song on its twin must also go on... to complement the other, but obviously not one after the other. that would defeat the purpose.i've yet to make a decent one for myself because i go through to many phases. plus im constantly making cd's for my girlfriend.think i'll make one for relaxing to, its been ruff these last few days. i'll post it if i finish it.
