Pete - I'd get a hold of OD before the inevitable day comes when someone notices it has an unpaid sample from the B3atl3s and it disappears forever. :)

The Pearl Jam really is excellent, thanks. The more I hear them the more I think they are/were one of the great bands. Great drumming too, were they known for that?

Not really. And it's actually three different dudes--a guy named Matt Chamberlain for the Ten-era stuff, then Dave Abbruzzese
for Vs. and Vitalogy, and he was replaced by Jack Irons from some incarnation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for No Code. Then Soundgarden's Matt Cameron took over, and he's still with them. The rest of the original Pearl Jam line-up has always been the same.

More importantly, I'm stoked that you enjoyed the compilation!

yeah, guilty, mostly. there's a couple of later songs on there, from OOOH!, Journey to the End of the Night, etc.

pauls00, Friday, 10 September 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link

So far, I am really impressed with the amount of work and the level of care that has gone into these. Hopefully I will get around to actually assembling/downloading/listening to some of the playlists over the weekend, & also posting my own Stereolab & Luna comps, which will likely happen on Monday at this point.

With Every Word I Say: The Shoes 1976-1997

1. “Alone but Satisfied,” Shoes (Bazooka, 1976)
2. “The Atlantic,” Shoes (Bazooka, 1976)
3. “Like I Told You,” Shoes (Bazooka, 1976)
4. “Boys Don’t Lie,” Shoes (Black Vinyl Shoes, 1977)
5. “Do You Wanna Get Lucky,” Shoes (Black Vinyl Shoes, 1977)
6. “Not Me,” Shoes (Black Vinyl Shoes, 1977)
7. “Capital Gain,” Shoes (Black Vinyl Shoes, 1977)
8. “Nowhere So Fast,” Shoes (Black Vinyl Shoes, 1977)
9. “Tomorrow Night,” Shoes (Present Tense, 1979)
10. “Too Late,” Shoes (Present Tense, 1979)
11. “Now and Then,” Shoes (Present Tense, 1979)
12. “Yes or No,” Shoes (Tongue Twister, 1981)
13. “Curiosity,” Shoes (Boomerang, 1982)
14. “Running Wild,” Shoes (Silhouette, 1984)
15. “I’ll Follow You,” Shoes (Stolen Wishes, 1989)
16. “Love Does,” Shoes (Stolen Wishes, 1989)
17. “I Can’t Go Wrong,” Shoes (Stolen Wishes, 1989)
18. “Never Ending,” Shoes (Propeller, 1994)
19. “It Happens All the Time,” Jeff Murphy (Cantilever, 1997)

Not for everyone; for me, a kind of singular and, except for their first couple of LPs, anachronistic genius within shouting distance of Phil Spector and Brian Wilson. (Calling on Thus Sang Freud for some back-up.)

The total time is about 60 minutes, not 80; like the old Pye compilations, Golden Hour of the Shoes. I’m sure I could push it to 80, but I’d have to take out some vinyl and start combing over the early-’80s albums, and I’m far too lazy. I’ll stick with the songs I used to put on mix-tapes. My familiarity with the later LPs and Jeff Murphy’s solo record is much newer, so I’m more confident of those picks. Many people make do with Black Vinyl Shoes. I think you’re missing a lot if you stop there.

(Same offer as with the Jefferson Airplane compilation above: click on my handle and take it from there.)

clemenza, Saturday, 11 September 2010 00:39 (thirteen years ago) link

very good early choices clemenza, will have to email for the late 80s and 90s tracks. "Tomorrow Night" is probably my favorite for that amazing bridge.

Busy Signal, Born and Grow: The Best of 2006-2010

1. Nah Guh Jail Again (single version)
2. Born and Grow (from Step Out)
3. Tic Toc (from Loaded)
4. My Money (Money Tree) (from D.O.B.)
5. Murderer (from Loaded)
6. Picante (from D.O.B.)
7. Da Style Deh (from Strictly The Best Vol. 41)
8. These Are the Days (from Loaded)
9. One More Night (from D.O.B.)
10. Up in Her Belly (single)
11. Trading Places (Nylon Riddim) (from Greensleeves One Drop Rhythm #1: Nylon)
12. The Result (from Stand Firm)
13. Love Me Not? (from Step Out)
14. Cool Baby (from Loaded)
15. Unknown Number (from Loaded)
16. Sweet Love (Nightshift) (from D.O.B.)

Some good watching in there! I made this for a friend recently, leaving off some of his big hits (for taste), and just added "Unknown Number," which I guess breaks the no-consecutive-songs-from-the-same-album rule, but I think it works. "Sweet Love" and "One More Night" link the same video, which combines those songs in a video that brings me back to my year as a security guard in New Orleans.

Pete Scholtes, Saturday, 11 September 2010 03:54 (thirteen years ago) link

Two things that baffle me about this thread:

1. Pete Scholtes knows next to nothing about Roxy Music (wha??? how on earth is that even possible??).

2. whatever thinks Elvis "doesn't get much of a mention on radio (wha???) or ILM (wha????)."

Kevin John Bozelka, Saturday, 11 September 2010 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link

I know "More Than This" from the dawn of MTV.

Pete Scholtes, Saturday, 11 September 2010 06:07 (thirteen years ago) link

No Spotify here in Canadaland either, but where possible I've linked to all kinds of YouTubes goodness. No real rationale, other than that the songs sound awesome in this order. To me, Low are a domestic apocalypse, the sound of things disintegrating on a tiny personal level, as if your toaster started crying inconsolably one sun-drenched morning and didn't know how to stop. Oh, and I also wanted to showcase their ability to cover other artists in ways that might surprise casual listeners, so spot the Neil Young, Journey, Beatles, Smiths and Bee Gees songs, etc.

Sorry Whiney, that came off a little passive aggressive. Not trying to throw down a gauntlet or anything, I would be genuinely interested to see what you'd come with. Can't get my head round Adult Themes I'm afraid. Maybe I was the wrong man for the job.

Still think my selection is two discs of great songs though.

I hope I haven’t committed some major breach of etiquette by posting for the third time. I double-checked the other thread just to make sure no one had the same idea.

I’ve made this compilation for at least six friends, and used it as a fundraising giveaway on my radio show a few years ago. It’s heavy on Goodfellas and Mean Streets, of course, but most every film up to Bringing Out the Dead is represented. I just realized now, when checking some dates, that there’s a glitch; “Like a Rolling Stone” from Life Lessons is actually the Before the Flood version with the Band. That would mess up the timing, though, so I’ll leave things as is. The excerpts are little snippets of dialogue I scatter throughout: “Go fuck your mother,” “Your mother sucks big fat elephant dicks,” that kind of thing. If you were to eliminate them, each disc would run about 78 minutes.

I haven’t seen Shutter Island (and, if all goes well, never will), so I don’t know if that would yield anything worth adding. No Direction Home came out after I first put this together, but—as with The Last Waltz (where I cheat once)—it seems not quite right to use that anyway.

Shouldn't 'Gimme Shelter' be on there at least a couple of times?

Ismael Klata, Saturday, 11 September 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link

"Gimme Shelter"'s The Departed, right? That's another one that came out after I first put this together. You could probably swap that for "Jeepster," which truthfully I don't remember from Alice.

Great idea. Pretty sure "Gimme Shelter" is in Goodfellas too, along with "Monkey Man".

Monkey Man's in Goodfellas, but I think Gimme Shelter is not--it might be in Casino?

no Harry Nilsson, but still cool...

really want to try out that Can comp; also like the Pearl Jam, not so sure about the Jefferson Airplane (no Rejoyce? no Hey Fredrick?)

my bad

rotting-month story (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 11 September 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link

'Gimme Shelter' is in The Departed and at least one other of his films, possibly more... I remember him joking somewhere that Shine A Light'd look kind of stupid if the Stones didn't play it (I can't remember if they took him up on it or not)

Ismael Klata, Saturday, 11 September 2010 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I never considered either "Monkey Man" (which I kind of hate) or "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (which I love for the first two-sevenths, then hate) for a second. I'm pretty sure I have, though, made a variation of this that substitued Nilsson's "Without You" for something. I definitely have "Without You" in my Scorsese folder.

Neil Young - Best of the Rest

I initially intended to omit songs included on his Greatest Hits but that still left out too many contenders so I omitted songs on his 3-LP Decade compilation as well. If you are totally unfamiliar with NY's music I would suggest starting with those two. The songs are listed in order of release with a couple of exceptions to maintain the original sequence. Young is so prolific - releasing on average an album a year for most of his career - that it's difficult to assemble an anthology without someone asking why this or that song wasn't included. I've tried to select songs that represent the different phases of his career although some albums are passed over entirely for lack of space.

Disc 1
1. Flying On The Ground Is Wrong
2. Here We Are In The Years
3. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
4. Tell Me Why
5. Out On The Weekend
6. Revolution Blues
7. On The Beach
8. World On A String
9. Mellow My Mind
10. Don't Cry No Tears
11. Barstool Blues
12. Look Out For My Love
13. Thrasher
14. Pocahontas
15. Powderfinger
16. Little Wing
17. Shots
18. Computer Age
19. Don't Take Your Love Away From Me

Disc 2
1. Wonderin'
2. Hippie Dream
3. Feel Your Love
4. Don't Cry
5. Someday
6. No More
7. Mansion On The Hill
8. From Hank To Hendrix
9. Philadelphia
10. I'm The Ocean
11. Throw Your Hatred Down
12. Razor Love
13. Ordinary People

man, Neil Young. What you put together, especially disc 1, works pretty much just as well as a best as his actual "best of"s. nice work!

Z S, Sunday, 12 September 2010 03:47 (thirteen years ago) link

I'd be a terrible person to put together a Neil compilation. It'd be a disc-and-a-half covering Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, and everything up to Zuma (well, "Ocean Girl"), with four or five or six songs tacked on at the end to take care of 1977-2010.
