Weird Play Lists

[thewayne]

I occasionally do somewhat strange things in iTunes. I made a playlist of songs containing the word Love or Heart, I made one for our new Champions characters that was pretty cool, and now I have a new one: Dead.

It contains only musicians or bands that are dead or a member of said band has died.

At the moment it contains: B-52's, Beatles, Blues Brothers, The Cars, The Doors, Elvis, Grateful Dead, John Lennon, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Led Zeppelin, Ofra Haza, Paul & Linda McCartney, Pink Floyd, Queen, Roy Orbison, Stan Rogers, Styx, Traveling Wilburys, and The Who.

Interestingly, it would appear that no member of Electric Light Orchestra has died.

And no, I don't own any Elvis records, but I do have a set of his songs covered by some rock greats, such as Robert Plant, The Pogues, Paul McCartney, Jesus & Mary Chain, and Bruce Springsteen.

I'm looking forward to hearing how this list works out, though I need to whittle it down: it's at 661 songs, 1.7 days of music, and 3.3 gig: it won't fit on my iPod as-is, gotta do some whacking.

Oh man, that list would be so huge for me.
A lot of old jazz in my collection.

Well, I'm specifically excluding all of my classical music, jazz, and 1940's big band/swing and sticking strictly with rock & roll for that reason. I also excluded Groucho, mainly to stick with rock.

And what the hell are you doing up so late (or early)?! A question I also ask of myself.

*grin*

Hope all is well with you and your ladies, I've been horrible about following my flist of late.

I am sick and thus cannot sleep

Also, I never sleep, even when I'm well.

Bummer about the illness. Yeah, I remembered you're not much of a sleeper at the best of times.
