Regular readers of this blog will know I like to embark on long and pointless projects which may or may not come to fruition.
Here's another one.
I'm getting fed up with my ipod. There's tons of stuff on it and all I ever listen to is Fear Of A Black Planet and Supper's Ready (live). I could just use my Walkman for that.
So I've decided to only allow one track by any one band on my ipod. Which means I need to examine 10,000 bands and determine which is their best song. This is relatively straightforward with Fiction Factory (Feels Like Heaven) and McFadden and Whitehead (Ain't No Stopping Us Now) but it gets a more difficult with The Beatles (I Will?) and Trouble Funk (Drop The Bomb?).
I'm going to allow itunes to decide what constitutes a new, separate 'artist' which means I'll end up with a lot of Dr Dre since he does so many collaborations. I'm starting with a purge of my existing library, but I've created a blog to record the decisions. If anyone wants to make suggestions I'd be delighted.
I have a short list of song I reccomend you:
Guns'n'Roses - Live and let die
Jimi Hendrix - Purple haze
Pink Floyd - I wish you were here
Prince - Purple rain
Deep Purple - Smoke on the water
Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
See ya
