Huge post alert:
I should have posted ages ago, but here is a list of my musical tastes:
I have compiled seven CD-Rs to date, and some of their contents are listed below (observe the trend in tastes) - some of the stuff is joke stuff (listed in Italics) and the artists are listed in bold.
I listen to other stuff, but I tend to listen to classical music off the radio, or from general classical Albums.
I'm sure this listing is going to say a lot about me, but then again, if you know what type of person I am...
CD 1:
Since you've been gone - Rainbow
Lots of Lightning seeds - there's actually so much on here, there's none elsewhere.
Some Queen: Don't stop me now, 7 seas of Rhye and Bohemian Rhapsody
Common People - Pulp
CD 2:
Holding out for a hero - Bonnie Tyler
Against all odds - Phil Collins
Star Trekkin' (No, I am not a star trek fan) - The firm
500 miles - The Proclaimers
Moonlight shadow - Mike Oldfield (The guy who did Tubular bells)
Yoda - Wierd Al Yankovic (Parody of Hey, that's funny!a by the Kinks)
Oliver's Army - Elvis Costello
Land Down under - Men at work
REM - The sidewinder sleeps tonight, Man on the moon, The end of the world
Zombie Zoo - Tom Petty
The Cars - Tonight, Magic
The police - Every breath you take
CD 3:
Livin' on a prayer
Tubthumping - Chumbawumba
Bat out of Hell - Meat loaf (one of my favourite artists ever)
Wake Up - Rise against the Machine (theme from the Matrix)
The who - Pinball wizard, Baba O'Riley, Who are you, You better you bet
Tubthumping (in French!)
Smooth Criminal - London symphony Orchestra (excellent counter to Silentguy's point in another thread - actually the song "Layla" sounds like some of Copland's work when played like this)
CD 4:
more Queen - Princes of the Universe, I want to break free
more REM - Imitation of Life
Some Dire Straits
Y.M.C.A (in Cantonese! - another of my strange choices)
Chicken Impossible (Mission Impossible theme - done by chickens)
Papa Roach - Cut my life in to pieces
Some Rolling Stones: Paint it black, and some other stuff
The Bell (from tubular bells II) - Mike Oldfield (with "a strolling player" [old english term for actor - oh, alright - it's Alan Rickman] as master of Ceromonies)
The Offspring: Have you ever, Walla Walla, Why don't you get a job, Americana
CD 5:
Terminator 2 theme (great film - it's got miniguns in it!)
Nightwish (Finnish metal band): She is my sin, Nemo, Walking in the air
Ebay - Wierd Al Yankovic
Some Madness
I will always love you - Whitney Houston
For whom the bell tolls - Metallica
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - The endless enigma part 1, fugue, The endless enigma part 2
The anthem -Good Charlotte
Mrs Robinson - Simon and Garfunkel
The Bee Gees - You win again, Ordinary lives (one of my favourite pieces ever)
CD 6:
Going Underground - The Jam
more Nightwish: Wishmaster, End of all hope, I wish I had an angel
The eye of the Tiger - Survivor
More than a feeling (short version) - Boston
The final countdown - Europe
Wild west hero - ELO
London Underground (very funny, but even ruder)
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns and Roses
Lots of Meat loaf: I would do anything for love (but I won't do that), Life is a lemon and I want my money back, Rock and roll dreams come through, Wasted Youth, Everything louder than everything else
CD 7:
God save the Queen - Brian May
The Ultimate showdown of Ultimate Destiny - Lemon Demon
More than a feeling (full version) - Boston
I am the one and only - Chesney Hawkes
The passenger - Iggy pop
Even more Nightwish: Planet Hell, Elvenpath, The kinslayer
Now you're a man - DVDA
Altered State - Mike Oldfield
Canon Rock - Jerryl
King of wishful thinking - Go west
There she goes - The LAs
