I found this idea in a thread whilst searching Rilo Kiley (btw, my copy of Take Offs and Landings came in the mail yesterday! Yay!) in the search engine and thought it was damn neat. The thread's like a century old and I would get shot if I revived it.

So yeah, put the music player of your choice on shuffle and post the first seven songs to play. If a songs is especially embarassing, please explain.

I'll start:

Bear Vs. Shark- Baraga Embankment
Nirvana- Sliver (the acoustic version off With The Lights Out)
Radiohead- Airbag
The White Stripes- This Protector
Avenged Sevenfold- I Won't See You Tonight, Pt. 2  (my hardcore/screamo/whatever-the-fuck-you-call-it guilty pleasure)
Ratatat- Montanita
Black Sabbath- A Bit Of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning

[Hat]

Jebediah - Raindrops keep falling on my head
Serenity OST - Shepard Books Last Words
The Panda Band - Musical Chairs
Tism - Martin Scorsese Is Really Quite A Jovial Fellow
Eels - Teenage Witch

Anyway:

Sufjan Stevens - The Lord God Bird

The Apples in Stereo-I Can't Believe
The Cure-Pictures of You
Abe Reid and the Spikedrivers-Fake It (Yup.)
The Pogues-When The Ship Comes In
Nirvana-Heart-Shaped Box
Fountains of Wayne-Mexican Wine


Not all of them are indicative of my tastes but they're still all decent songs.

[imapiratearg]

"Handcuffs" by Brand New
"Cavanaugh Park" by Something Corporate
"Tell Mick That He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today" by Fall Out Boy (Hey!  Their first album was a decent pop punk album.  I stand firm to my belief that Fall Out Boy were good at one point.)

"The Night Will Go As Follows" by The Spill Canvas  (My theme song.  Pretty much...)

"Aluminum" by The White Stripes (Really?)
"Did I Step On Your Trumpet?" by Danielson

"Disco & Haze" by Do Make Say Think

The Beatles had a song called Circles?? Why can't I remember what album it's from?? Is it one of those outtakes or bootlegs that might not even be the Beatles at all??

Radiohead- 2+2=5
The New Pornographers- The Jessica Numbers
The Flaming Lips- Are You a Hypnotist??

*envy*

Mmm, they were awesome.

Well, they opened for Hellogoodbye with some emo band (Boys Like Girls) but they were still awesome. And they all signed my shoe 'cept Greta who wasn't there.

[lunatichigh]

Aerosmith - Mama Kin
Jet - Timothy
INXS - Beautiful Girl
Motley Crue - Red Hot
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Trailer
Rolling Stones - Confessin' The Blues
Poison - So Tell Me Why

I rarely listen to my MP3 player on anything but shuffle.

[imapiratearg]

Nice, i like a couple Boys Like Girls songs, and a few Hellogoodbye ones.  That sucks they were just opening.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

Big Country- "In a Big Country"
The Surfaris- "Surfer Joe" (I didn't even know I had this)
Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra- "Buzzsaw"
The Vandals- "An Idea for a Movie" (Argh!  N?-Vandals!  Listening to this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, now that I know how Joe Escalante screwed all the members of the original band.)
The Gibbons- "Basement Politics"
Saves The Day- "Clash City Rockers" (Oh, for fuck's sake.  Why do I have this?)
Five Iron Frenzy- "It Was Beautiful" (Oh, man, I was afraid one of the crappy ska bands I haven't listened to since high school would rear their ugly heads.)

[Liz]

Mmm, they were awesome.

Well, they opened for Hellogoodbye with some emo band (Boys Like Girls) but they were still awesome. And they all signed my shoe 'cept Greta who wasn't there.

I'm going to that tour also, but they stop in my area on the second half of the tour, so I get The Rocket Summer instead of The Hush Sound. I am sad, but I do like The Rocket Summer. Just not as much.

[jimbunny]

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun
Sandra McCracken - Violet Eyes
The Shins - Know Your Onion!
Aqualung - Good Times Gonna Come
Elizabeth Bishop - Sandpiper ... (a poem, not a song)

Wow...I hardly ever use shuffle anymore.

[MusicScribbles]

Kids on Holiday - Animal Collective
Don't Bother None - Yoko Kanno
Carry-Cot - Colleen
Radar Maker - Mogwai
Kiss Of Death - New Order
Pueblo (Beach Boys) - Pavement

Hmm...That's a weird mix.

[timehat]

Sleep Terror - Ginsu Frenzy
Arcturus - My Angel
Boris - My Machine
Cardiacs - To Go Off and Things
Longmont Potion Castle - Fists 2
Allan Holdsworth - Above and Below

[Ballard]

I'm going to that tour also, but they stop in my area on the second half of the tour, so I get The Rocket Summer instead of The Hush Sound. I am sad, but I do like The Rocket Summer. Just not as much.

Never heard of them, actually.

Hellogoodbye was fucking fantastic. Boys Like Girls was very predictable and sounded like every other stereotypical emo band, but they weren't bad. And yeah, the Hushies only opened but they got to play 4 fairly long songs, which wasn't bad.

Have fun when ya do go!

Heavy Metal Drummer - Wilco
Don't Ask Why - My Bloody Valentine
I Want The One I Can't Have - The Smiths
Road To Rouen - Supergrass
Vampire/Forest Fire - The Arcade Fire

Ill Culinary Behaviour- DJ Format
Rest in Pieces- Saliva
Under the Weeping Moon- Opeth
99 Ways to Die- Megadeth

Oxes- Kaz Hayashi '01

Q and Not U- District Night Prayer

Polvo- The Golden Ladder
Led Zeppelin- Immigrant Song (fuck man these dudes have to crash my party every time.  Ah well, I guess they're not bad)
Sonic Youth- Wish Fulfillment
Deep Wound- Sick of Fun

Much better. 

[Ballard]

Pheuron Skeurto- Sunny Day Real Estate
It's Easy to Remember (But So Hard To Forget)-John Coltrane
Star- David Bowie
Spirituality- Strapping Young Lad

The Flaming Lips - Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon (Utopia Planitia)
Tchaikovsky (Kirov Orchestra/Valery Gergiev) - The Nutcracker: Character dances - Polichinelle (The Clown) [OK this is pretty much the worst part of the entire ballet.  Woo shuffle!]
Ray Charles - Born to Lose [Country with '40s pop style string section swirls? Ugh.  Oh my god and then there's the chorus. I actually skipped at this point.  Is this within the rules?]
Bo Diddley - Who Do You Love [Now THIS is more like it]
Dvorak (Chamber Orchestra of Europe) - Serenade for Strings in E, Op.22: II. Tempo di valse
The RH Factor - Poetry

Fell down in the middle, but all's well that ends well, right?

edited because the forum doesn't recognise the necessary accents to get Dvorak's name right

[JingleBunny]

Green Hornet - Al Hirt. (Just plain effing awesome.)
Sen's Courage - New Japan Philharmonic. (Spirited Away has some damn nice music.)
The Great River - Howard Shore. (So does LoTR.)
Crocodile Rock - Elton John. (Hehehehe.)
Loving Me For Me - Christina Aguilera. (Yeah, so, this is pretty embarrassing. But I'm a teenage girl, I have angst! Or something... Moving on...)
Porcelain - Red Hot Chilli Peppers. (A fair few people don't like them that much anymore, but I still say they're good.)
Drunk Girl - Something Corperate. (Yes! I love this band. They rock all my socks, literal or otherwise.)

I have a random collection of songs...

[Luke C]

If You Have to Ask - Red Hot Chili Peppers (one of my fave. tracks by RHCP, a classic from Blood Sugar Sex Magik)
Man on the Moon - R.E.M. (another classic track and another fave. of mine from Automatic For the People. Some of the lyrics in this song are pricless)
Porcelain - Red Hot Chilli Peppers (OMG Me too lol )
Countdown to Extinction - Megadeth (Not exactly their best ever song but not bad. A lot of traditional Megadeth bands don't like this album, sure it is no Rust in Peace but it beats Risk at least)
Stain of Mind - Slayer (So I have been listening to a lot more Slayer recently. Slayer were never as good without Dave Lombardo on drums but this song is a rare exception
Have You Ever - The Offspring (From Americana, their best album except Pretty Fly (For a White Guy))
Dirty Little Thing - Velvet Revolver (So VR arn't G 'n' R but they easily beat Axl Roses's G 'n' R tribute band)
The Nurse Who Love Me - A Perfect Circle (My friend Jack got me into them. Have only really listened to the Mer De Noms album properly so couldn't comment on this track yet but it seems pretty good on first few listens, kind of haunting and surreal)
Out On the Tiles - Led Zeppelin (From Led Zeppelin III a quality track inspired by dummer Bonhma's excessive drinking. Being covered by Megadeth on their new album so that should be...interesting just hope it is better than their cover of Anarchy in the UK)
Riding Shotgun - Anthrax (with Dimebag Darell on guest guitar, sweet song even tho I'm not a huge Anthrax fan)
Seek & Destroy - Metallica (awesome early Metallica classic, covered by my brother's band so I have a real affinity with this song)

[Yakob]

Avenged Sevenfold- Radiant Eclipse
Nirvana- Love Buzz
Neutral Milk Hotel- The King Of Carrot Flowers Pts. Two & Three
INXS- Never Tear Us Apart (My mom's obsessed with these guys and this song kinda grew on me)
Franz Ferdinand- Do You Want To

The White Stripes- I Can Learn

Holy mainstream, Batman!
