Making cd's, want input!

[Lady Gaea]

So, for xmas my parents paid for me to get a cd player installed in my new (well, new for me) Jeep, and I got one that will also play mp3 encoded cd's. I have access to a cd burner this week, so I'm trying to make some good driving music cd's to keep my mind occupied while I'm driving.

What are some of your favourite songs? I listen to practically everything, but now that I'm sitting here trying to make myself come cd's, I can't think of anything good to put on them!

I llisten to almost exclusively renfaire type stuff...lots of folk and newfie music...

go to one of the file share sites (I use WinMX) and download all sorts of stuff...

Blackmore's Night....faboo rennie flavored stuff...

I listen to a lot of Schooner Fare and Great Big Sea
The Chieftains
Irish Descendents
Shanneyganock

If you look long enough, sometimes you can find faire groups on people's computers...Empty Hats, Pyrates Royale, etc...

All of my CDS have been burnt off the computer...after using file share programs, and exploring others' files has given me a chance to learn of new groups and music I might never have heard otherwise.

Have FUN~!

YES!!! :bananada: Another Blackmore's Night fan! And someone else who probably wouldn't think my CD collection is odd! I got "Past Times With Good Company" (recording of a live concert) for Christmas in my stocking and fell in love with Blackmore's Night all over again. :love:
I would definitely suggest Blackmore's Night to go on your CD's. I like to sing along (very loudly :singdanc: heee!) when I drive and they're great for that, too!
Also, if you want kind of chilling music to get down the road rage, try josh Groban. His voice is soooo beautiful :hearts: So is he for that matter! :yum: And besides, people get really confused when they've cut you off and you pull up next to them roll down your window and blast popera at them. Almost as good as doing that with bagpipe music!!!

Thank you!!!! I have been wanting to know who sang it so I could get a copy. I LOVE it!!!

[Leela]

Whew, Belladonna, girl! Are you a DJ or something?

Just my two cents:

The Pogues, especially Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
The Cranberries
Catatonia (a Welsh band)
Queen (yes, I'm TOTALLY dating myself here)
Tom Waits

Soundtracks to:
Amatuer
Run Lola Run
Final Fantasy X

Yes. I'm a geek.

:buttercu:

[Leela]

Oh. and TOTALLY SPOT ON with the Sisters of Mercy, Belladonna!
Just gotta watch the speed with that one... :D

[WenchLadyKate]

TULL!!! :ilu:

I'm partial to the 20 years collection. If you can get a playlist, I'd dowload a few. My favorites rotate. Right now, I'm listening to the Stormwatch record. (I love the sound of old records) And personally, I think Elegy (off said record) is a great song to walk down the aisle to, if one were lucky enough to be getting married.

Okay, I'm done.

[Ysobelle]

Ooooo-- if y'all like Sisters of Mercy, and that dark, driving kind of music, try VNV Nation. Especially "Saviour." Utterly glorious music.

Is anyone else here into the Goth aesthetic?

[Belladonna]

Other then moi?

[Ysobelle]

Other then moi?

Snicker.

Yes, dear, other than you. I know all about you, Mizz Electrical Tape.

[Belladonna]

*innocent look*

WHAT?!?!?!

ME?!?!?!!


Nipp...I mean electical tape?!?!?!?




NO!!

:singdanc:

[Lady Gaea]

OH my gods you guys ROCK!

I'm up to 200 songs, so I won't list them all, but I've got a ton that you all listed! Especially the 80's ones from Tink! Ah, for the days of huge hair, tons of hairspray, blue mascara and matching eyeliner, and rolling up the bottoms of your jeans. :D

Still working on it. I think that on the cd's I've got I can put somewhere in the range of 350 mp3's. So that should keep me occupied driving to faires this spring and summer!
