Need to make a few compilation CDs for a house-party
I dont think many of the guests would appreciate my current music selection so im looking for stuff to download thats not pop/house/dance and all that, but slightly alternative stuff that most people will be able to enjoy, and stuff that is catchy and happy
So far ive got kaiser chiefs, franz ferdinand, Arctic monkeys, Hard fi, Greenday, Feeder, the bravery, the killers, muse, offspring, queens of the stone age, stereophonics
Any suggestions appreciated, oh and please tell me the names of particular singles

Oh God no. Not Pentonville.
any particular songs?
hmm Girls & Boys, Country House, Coffee & TV, Parklife, For Tomorrow, TOPMAN etc etc anything on the greatest hits really. Oh fuck Song 2 too.
currently downloading the following albums:
The kooks- Inside in, inside out
The zutons- tired of hanging around
Blur-best of
Chilli peppers various albums (i know the popular ones by them)
Maximo park- a certain trigger
The rakes- capture release
Also a bit of rage but thats more for my own purposes although if anyone thinks any particular songs by them would go down well at a part speak up
Im not even going to download that for other peoples benefit, they are vile :yuck:
But i do already have we are scientists
eh?
Clever girl.
You must get Selective Memory, and That One Pop Gem, Great Escape annnd Inaction. :yes:
Oh, well it makes all the more sense now then...
Song - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
Blink 182 - Greatest Hits
Anything by Bowling For Soup
Gnarls Barkley - St Elsewhere
Anything by Placebo
Those are albums btw (except the BFS and Placebo ones )
Bit hard work for a house party, no? TCTC for when the atmosphere gets smoky maybe.
Always worth throwing in one or two Stones tracks:
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
" " - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Supergrass - Caught by the Fuzz
The Strokes - Someday
im not some kind of retard but, if i had got what he meant in the first place i wouldnt of asked would i. I'd never heard of it and i was confused because what i now know is the song name actually has the name of another artist in it.
cant even not understand stuff around here any more :no:
Maybe a bit of Royksopp (Eple, Poor Leno, What Else Is There?).
Bloc Party do some good stuff to dance to.
Rebellion and Neighborhood 3: Power Out by Arcade Fire
Electioneering and The Bends by Radiohead (but you can't buy them as seperate MP3's though).
Some of the tracks off Debut by Bjork - Big Time Sensuality, There's More To Life Than This.
Can't Stop, Give It Away and Otherside by the Chili Peppers
Don't Look Back Into the Sun, The Man Who Would Be King and Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines
Tied Up Too Tight by Hard Fi
Bit of Fugees has to go down well
California by Tupac
Remember Me by The Zutons
Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan
I Get Around by the Beach Boys
I Am The Resurrection and Made Of Stone by the Stone Roses
Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin (everyone will recognise it off TOTP2)
And most importantly World In Motion by New Order will go down well this close to the world cup
I'd better stop now because I could go on forever.
If you want to go on then feel free
thats excellent, thank you
get up kids - washington square park
inme - just a glimpse
lagwagon - automatic
maybe some at the drive in?
i have all at the drive in albums but im not sure if they are something people will recognise or like? i wouldnt really know
cheers anyway, if i had it my way i'd be playing all my kinda stuff but it would bore most people, need well known catchy stuff for a party really!
the zutons-tired of hanging around
the rakes-capture/release
maximo park-a certain trigger
the kooks- inside in inside out
cheers
