Avril's list is the worst thing ever.

Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 02:47 (nineteen years ago) link

haha you're right Jon. even better is her comments:

"Ironic"(Track 8) "I love how this song was written with all the different examples Alanis uses of things being ironic...this song is just really good lyrically"

"Rape Me"(Track 10) "This is a great song to rock out to and get drunk and mosh to."

AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 14 June 2004 03:19 (nineteen years ago) link

isn't Coldplay on it. Alice Cooper had a good list; that guy who used to be in Judas Priest did too

Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 03:26 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, The Scientist: "Coldplay are great to listen to when you are with someone you have a crush on"

I like the part where she brags about having the new Rancid CD before it came out.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 14 June 2004 03:53 (nineteen years ago) link

she must have been like 11 when i was finished liking rancid

Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 03:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Billy Corgan's was cooler than I expected-he had Howlin Wolf and shit.
The Interpol guitarist's woulda been a lot funnier if he had just picked 16 Joy Division songs.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 14 June 2004 04:08 (nineteen years ago) link

The Phantom Planet one had 2 Fall songs on it. Their new cds actually not bad. Expecially the songs clearly inspired by THE FALL.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Monday, 14 June 2004 04:22 (nineteen years ago) link

About 80% of these have a song off Speakeroxxx/Love Below

Lot's of fuckin Wilco and Postal Service.

Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Ecch, how do you even know the "celebrity's" playlist is actually the
"celebrity's" and not the work of some flack or gofer?

Most of them are so predictable and inane, anyone with even a minor knowledge of the person -- or even no knowledge at all -- could have written them. In fact, you could probably have programmed a machine to compile some of them.

George Smith, Monday, 14 June 2004 14:51 (nineteen years ago) link

three months pass...
Minnie Driver:

"Apart from just being a wicked song, I didn't look unlike Slash growing up, which, whilst unfortunate for a girl, left me with a deep affinity for Guns N' Roses"

(although not so deep that you didn't put the band's most popular song ever on your mix)

Also: she's a HUGE Wilco/Son Volt fan!!

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 October 2004 05:52 (nineteen years ago) link

i was just looking at these.

every celeb is a wilco fan.

Whoa, Bruce Hornsby on Jay-Z!!!

"Izzo (H.O.V.A.)": "This Jay-Z song hit me hard the first time I heard it. I love the Jackson Five musical sample, and when he says 'I used to dribble down in VA,' I feel like he's also talking about me."

!!

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 October 2004 05:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Bruce Hornsby lives in this extremely high-end gated community in Williamsburg, VA and goes out in public and waits for people to recognize him. Apparently he once stopped by the student-run coffeehouse at William and Mary and played the piano for a really long time without anyone knowing who the weird old guy playing the piano was.

n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 16:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i used to play basketball with him. he's good!

Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 16:05 (nineteen years ago) link

three years pass...

so I've been browsing iTunes Celebrity Playlists, and Corey Taylor (the lead singer dude from Slipknot/Stone Sour) has three songs in the Stone Sour playlist -- and they are by Sarah McLachlan, Elvis Costello and Ray LaMontagne. i was like...what?

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 00:54 (sixteen years ago) link

also, Ellen Page (lead actress in Juno, among other films) is cute -- and her playlist isn't half-bad, either :D !

Tom Morello has Bright Eyes' "Road to Joy" on his playlist, lolz

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:35 (sixteen years ago) link

"Road to Joy" (Track 5): "Conor Oberst is one of my favorite young songwriters. Every couplet cuts to the bone and this song rocks hard in a hillbilly fashion."

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:36 (sixteen years ago) link

lol!

RZA has three of his own tracks on a playlist of 9 songs -- one Wu-Tang song, and two RZA solo joints. So dude has a big ego, why am i not surprised?

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:38 (sixteen years ago) link

included by RZA among the other 6 songs: Barbra Streisand and Kenny Loggins.

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:39 (sixteen years ago) link

has anyone talked about Anderson Cooper's playlist? -- Pogues, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, Nina Simone, REM, Curtis Mayfield, +/-, Clash, Seu Jorge, Blur, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, Elliott Smith and New Order. that's about the best I've seen, ILM-approval-wise. well...that and Thom Yorke's.

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:46 (sixteen years ago) link

Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park has MIA in the #1 slot on his playlist, and just raves about the song:

"Bucky Done Gun" (Track 1): "This song by MIA was practically the theme song that tour. I think our crew was sick of hearing it! At any rate, I think that's what one of my favorite things about music is: those times when hearing a song reminds you of a time in your past, when it connects you directly with the memory every time you hear it. Good song."

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:54 (sixteen years ago) link

and Rammstein's playlist contains Ministry, System of a Down, Pantera, Korn, Marilyn Manson................

and...... Jeff Buckley...!!??!?!

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:57 (sixteen years ago) link

James Blunt's on the other hand, is pretty good - Cat Power, Lou Reed, Pixies, Verve, Outkast, Peter Gabriel, Massive Attack, David Bowie and a handful of others. who'da thunk it?

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 01:59 (sixteen years ago) link

well that was fun.

stephen, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 02:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Carrie Underwood's old playlist was hilarious...it's been replaced with a newer one on iTunes, but nothing is ever lost on the internet. Some choice picks:

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill
“I have always been an admirer of Jared Leto--from the hotness he possesses in all of the movies he has been in, but who knew he could sing? I was a little skeptical at first of 30 Seconds To Mars, but I fell in love with many of their songs including this one. The vocals and music are intense yet not too hard to feel! This isn't your typical head-banger's song. It's tough, but melodic.”

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
“I LOVE the Rolling Stones! I love just about everything they have ever done. In fact, if anyone ever sees me in Nashville with the top down, no doubt that they will most likely get a dose of the Stones’ Forty Licks album. I liked this song particularly because it makes no sense! It is mysterious and sexy and I like that!”
