skylive5 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am putting together a music DVD that I call "Background Noise". I would like to keep it down to around 100 songs (not that I have to) but the list I have is 121 songs long. So I would like a bit of help in cutting a few of the below listed songs. This DVD is mostly stuff that I don't play all the time but do listen to when I get the chance...and with 2200+ mp3's it's tough to listen to everything during the week. So a bit of input please.

KevinL Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I sure don't know many of these songs, but I will say this. When I saw the Stones (nervous breakdown) and then Steppenwolf (born to be wild) near the top, I thought to myself, I'm gonna suggest Radar Love by Golden Earring. But of course it's already on the list, so I guess I suggest you keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) And Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Gotta have some Van on there. Bubby Toes by Jack Johnson is right there in that same vein. Edited September 11, 2007 by cre8tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 And Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Gotta have some Van on there. Bubby Toes by Jack Johnson is right there in that same vein. Already have several DVD's with about a million Morrison tunes.... listen to something by him pretty much every day. LOL Are we talking THE Jack Johnson? If so I have several by him on a different DVD. The idea is to cut some of these off the list...not add to it.

skylive5 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Counting the deletion of Witch Doctor that's 12 gone..... Getting closer. I really hate taking Casi off the list though..... great song for a 12 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Gone:Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - The Hollies - 1972 (sick of it) What??? Possibly the greatest guitar hook ever invented...total blasphemy if you lose this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Do You Wanna Dance - Bobby Freeman - 1958Take Me Home - Phil Collins - 1986 Don't delete "Do You Wanna Dance", but do substitute the Ramones version. Far superior. Loose "Take Me Home". . .Phil Collins + the 80's = rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Don't delete "Do You Wanna Dance", but do substitute the Ramones version. Far superior. While I appreicate the input... there is not a chance that I would replace an original like Freeman with the Ramones. Not that there is anything wrong with the Ramones mind you.... just that I am very happy with the cut I danced to in '58. 'Sides... this isn't about superior or inferior. Oh, and Take Me Home has special meaning... can't cut that one. Thanks for answering Sheik..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 I know most of the songs and I concur with Loaf's thoughts. I am going to assume that the bag has to do with agreeing with Loaf.... since knowing most of those songs could not possibly be the reason.
