What's in Your CD Player?

[Liquidator Queeg]

To revive the much loved threads from the past ...

What 5 cds are you currently listening to? Those cds that you just can't keep out of your player of choice.

My current 5 listening favourites, in no particular order:

George Carlin's A Place for my Stuff. Comedy classic, still hilarious after ... many many years of listening.

The soundtrack from the Fellowship of the Ring. I don't think this has been out of my cd player since last Christmas!

Monty Python Sings. I've been learning a few tunes from this cd on my guitar.

The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Ministry. Industrial bliss. Or is heroin bliss? I get confused.

Overnite Sensation by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. OK, now you know where my sig really comes from.

Share your listening favs!

Ok, this is a bit of a tough one, since most of my CD's are burned compilations. I'll try to describe what's on them, though.

1) Elvis: 30 #1's
2) Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack (like most others, it would seem)
3) Forty Licks - The Rolling Stones
4) My 80's Compliation CD, which features tracks such as Beds are Burning, by Midnight Oil, Tarzan Boy, by Baltimora, One Night in Bangkok, by Murray Head, Video Killed the Radio Star, by the Buggles, Pac-Man Fever, by Buckner & Garcia, and a whole bunch of other quirky musical selections
5) My 'Rock' Compilation CD, which features tracks by Def Leppard, AC/DC, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots and others.

Truthfully, though, when indoors I usually just listen to my main Winamp playlist, which features a little under a thousand tunes. I like too much variety to confine myself to just one CD for any great length of time. My CD choices are the ones found in my car, as I don't often care to listen to the radio.

[REG]

1. Bryan Adams "So Far So Good"
2. Creed "Weathered"
3. The Commodores "All The Greatest Hits"
4. Bruddah IZ (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) "Alone in IZ World"
5. Theme from Mission: Impossible (starring Tom Cruise)*

*It's a mood music, I'm playing a SPYCRAFT campaign.

[Argyle]

In no particular order:

• Concrete Blonde ::: Group Therapy
  I actually rotate through my Concrete Blonde records pretty regularly, but this tends to stay the longest. Mostly because it's still the newest, I think.
  
• Morphine ::: Like Swimming
  I think that Cure for Pain is a better album, but for some reason I don't listen to it as often. On the other hand, Yes is the best one to play LOUD.
  
• Portishead ::: Dummy
  Just doesn't get old for me. Shows off her voice better than the newer record too.
  
• Yokko Kanno/Seatbelts ::: Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack
  This has lots of variety of things, mostly jazz and blues stuff. It's all pretty darn good.
  
• Royal Crown Revue ::: The Contender
  This is a very cool swing/bop record.

Hey, REG, have you tried some James Bond music? Whenever I delve into Spycraft, I think that it works pretty good, both from the instrumental end (particularly the newer, techno stuff) and some of the vocal themes.

It's a great choice for chases, along with the old Peter Gunn theme, in my opinion...

Hm... Let's see... First I listen a lot to Nectarine Demoscene radio ( http://www.scenemusic.net ).

As for CDs:
Nightwish - Century Child
The latest LP from one of the best lyrical metal bands.
Tristania - World of Glass
Same style, heavier.
Future Sound Of London - The Isness
Latest LP from the founders of modern ambient.
Avalon OST
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Chaotic Beauty
Great gothic metal.

Don't have many James Bond soundtrack, although I did have one (soundtrack cassette) back in the 80's when I liked Duran Duran (A View To A Kill). In fact, I picked up Duran Duran "Decade" compilation CD with that song among others.

Hehehe. I could play Peter Gunn theme's bass part on my guitar (acoustic).

Unfortunately, I haven't picked up my guitar for a long while.

Anyway, the Mission: Impossible CD I have is a maxi-single, which has many remixes and dubs of the main theme, which cover most scenes.

[Robbert Raets]

Hmmm, lessee....

dIRE sTRAITS - Money for nothing
P!nk - m!ssundaztood
the best of the Corrs
Billy Joel - greatest hits

[Ineti]

In my current rotation are:

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack (interesting that many of us are listening to it)

Up, Peter Gabriel's new album. Great stuff.

Concrete Love, Julia Fordham's new album. Also great stuff.

The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem. I haven't had a chance to buy his newest, but this is a solid album.

Long Walk Home the soundtrack to "The Rabbit-Proof Fence". Music by Peter Gabriel. Fine soundtrack.

With the exception of Eminem, these albums can be stuck into the CD player and put on "repeat" and I'll be happy. They're all great music, and all great background music to work, writing, etc.

I also have Loreena McKennitt, Kate Bush, and just about every album on the RealWorld label in rotation as well. Music is my drug.

[Lt.Khrys Antos]

1) Californification by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

2) The Mission Impossible Soundtrack.

3) Tea Party, a whole bunch of their CD's.

4) Some Eminem, but only when my friend who likes the rap stuff on the CD (yes there is non-rap songs on the CD).

[Dan Stack]

This'll be somewhat eclectic...

1) The Muppet Show 25th Anniversary Soundtrack

2) Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly

3) Five for Fighting - American Town

4) David Bowie - Greatest Hits

5) Mark O'Connor - Liberty! Soundtrack
