Todays Compilation

[fifi]

Ok, here's the question:
If you were to make a compilation of music from today for somebody who knows near to nothing about music, what would you include?
:thinking: :)

Oh and try to add a bit of variety...not like "coldplay, coldplay, keane, coldplay, embrace, coldplay, keane...etc" :D

[Sam]

From today meaning recent music?

[fifi]

Yes :D well it can be from the 90's too

[Sam]

It must be good being able to move your own threads. :lol:

Ok...ummm...this is hard...

I'll just say bands, I think that is what you want is it not? (probably)

Ok:
Nirvana
Coldplay
Radiohead
U2
Metallica (well they are sorta 80's but they do have 90's stuff.)
Foo Fighters
Britney Spears
Franz Ferdinand
Bob Marley
Basement Jaxx
Guns'N'Roses
Jack Johnson
Green Day (or some shit like that, they're all the same)

(I'm trying to show a range of styles if you can't tell.)

Well that's good enough, actully it's terrible but..... meh.

My compilation.... well, it can be:

1.- Coldplay (Clocks, obviously)
2.- Radiohead (2+2=5, Paranoid Android or Creep?)
3.- Moby (Hotel Intro, Porcelain or Slipping Away?)
4.- U2 (City Of Blinding Lights or With Or Without You?)
5.- Keane (Somewhere Only We Know)
6.- The Beatles (Yesterday or She Loves You?)
7.- Placebo (Special Needs or Special K?)

9.- Pink Floyd (Wish You Where Here)
10.- Richard Ashcroft (Bittersweet Simphony)
11.- Sigur Ros (Cold ?)
12.- The White Stripes (Blue Orchid or Seven Nation Army?)

These are the bands, 'cause one song is so hard to choose. But, in cases like Coldplay is obvious, Clocks. Atenea_Brit
