Acclaimed Music Forums

Almost whiffed on this one today... it's the first Monday of the year! Time for Random Rules!

All you need to do is submit your list of 10 random songs - the next ten that come up via the random generator on your entire music library. We'll pull them all together then start the next part in a couple days (48 hours or 10 lists, whichever comes last), then start the elimination process to create the Random Rules Jukebox for January.

Time to get back to this - now that I actually listen to albums, I've started my own library, but I haven't been that focused on it, so it's fairly weak right now - 560 songs total, 217 of which are by the Beatles. Many of my absolutely favorite stuff is still missing. But let's do with what I've got here.

The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
The Beatles - Slow Down
The Beatles - Chains
The Beatles - It Won't Be Long
The Avalanches - A Different Feeling
They Might Be Giants - Dead
Dirty Projectors - Remade Horizon

Grimes - Visting Statue
Björk - The Modern Things

That sounds like a pretty solid foundation to me

In all seriousness though, congrats on creating your very own catalogue of music Ron, and good luck with your continued expansion efforts

Thanks, Luke! If only it were all legal...

Let's get some more selections up in here!

Wow, you have more than three times as many Beatles tracks as me (72)!
Overall, however, my collection may be a little bigger.

But you gotta start somewhere!

Anyone else want to humor me by adding a random list this month? I'd really like to get 10 and we only need one more! I'll set off elimination tomorrow regardless. Thanks!

Elvis Costello - Every Day I Write the Book
Kanye West - School Spirit
The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane
Pet Shop Boys - Go West
New Order - Age of Consent
Liars - You, Drum
Eric B. & Rakim - I Know You Got Soul
Carole King - So Far Away
The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes
Donovan - There is an Ocean

Thank you Hector! (and we have dupes on the Costello track!)

Oh right, do I need an 11th track? If so, it's:

Teenage Fanclub - Star Sign

No problem, Hector. It is not necessary. The Costello song now has a double chance of winning.
