Here is a playlist I put together for The Cure. 12 songs, 47 minutes.

https://open.spotify.com/user/612y786ed...rZSA2W_BjQ

01. The Upstairs Room 3:31 The Walk 12''/Japanese Whispers
02. Play For Today 3:41 Seventeen Seconds
03. Jumping Someone Else's Train 2:57 Boys Don't Cry
04. The Perfect Girl 2:36 Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
05. Primary 3:40 Faith
06. Six Different Ways 3:19 The Head On The Door
07. Hot Hot Hot!!! 3:36 Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
08. Doing The Unstuck 4:22 Wish
09. Lullaby 4:10 Disintegration
10. A Letter to Elise 5:12 Wish
11. Maybe Someday 5:05 Bloodflowers
12. Sinking 4:58 The Head On The Door

Since a couple other people already did Cure playlists,
I did not include any of the songs they chose.
It was a fun challenge to come up with only 12 songs,
and to try to make it more accessible to others than my usual playlists.
Cheers!

I just saw them couple of nights ago. If they come near you, I'd suggest it. They're playing a shitload of their good stuff and James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain are back.

That's awesome. Jimmy's drumming might be as much as 40% of why I dig this band.

Queen (80's) playlist

Hi. I'm super new to this forums interactions, but i saw this really interesting thread yesterday and worked in a playlist of Queen Songs.

For this list, I picked 80's Queen songs, many of them widely popular but overlooked by critical acclaim. I thought this would make this more challenging and fun to build (and it really was).

80's Queen - 11 tracks - 47 minutes

1) One Vision
2) I Want It All
3) Life is Real (Song for Lennon)
4) Breakthru
5) Dragon Attack
6) Is This the World We Created...?
7) Radio Ga Ga
8 ) The Invisible Man
9) Hammer to Fall
10) Who Wants to Live Forever
11) Under Pressure

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/kow4lski_/playlist/7sWn8zynWy4NDTvxEmiotX?si=wcEY7iM2RzGu5iA 08OjwSw

I think I made a decent job mixing popular Queen stuff with some hidden gems in their catalogue, while exploring this band's strongest points: Great range of musical styles, Freddie's potent vocals (early eighties was his peak IMO) and easy listening songs.

Gotta admit that it's so damn satisfying to make these track listings. Makes you wonder "what if this were an actual album released by this artist". So exciting.

I'm not great at curating track listings... I think I could do it better if I put more time into it.

My focus on these has been to give a decent preview of a band. This band is well known, so I focused more on deeper cuts and sounds that Nirvana isn't typically known for (leaning a bit more on the pop punk side for Son of a Gun and Molly's Lips). And the more beautiful pieces like Something In The Way and All Apologies. Oh Me is technically a Meat Puppets song, but his rendition hits home.

Hope you enjoy!

You Know You're Right (not released until 2004 or something)
Sappy
Lithium
Love Buzz
Aneurysm

It'd be cool if in the OP there was a list of all the ones so we know what's been done/have a repository of all the shiz, but that'd be a decent amount of work... just an idea. Partially because it looks like I started this list, but never finished it.

Anyway, Red Hot Chili Peppers might be a laughing stock to those who don't understand them, but I respect them as having fantastic tonality/musicality and heart and soul.

https://open.spotify.com/user/122614575...HJUSE4tlwQ

As usual my lists are a chronological preview from each album, indicating their guitarist of the time, which drastically changes the quality/style of music produced (hoping I got this right... haha)

With Hillel Slovak
1. Get Up and Jump
2. The Brothers Cup
3. Me and My Friends

With John Frusciante
4. Johnny, Kick A Hole In The Sky
5. I Could Have Lied

With Dave Navarro (even if this song doesn't have him in it)
6. Pea

With John Frusciante
7. Parallel Universe
8. Don't Forget Me
9. Readymade
10. If

With Josh Klinghoffer
11. Police Station (picked due to the "haunting" piano outro)
12. Dark Necessities

If after all that and you still really think this... well idk what to say. (even if I find this hysterical)

I figured side 1 could be a more of a well-known hits section and side two could be more of a deep tracks type of thing.

Vert good selection. The second half is inspired. I can hardly remember any truly long Rush tracks after Moving Pictures. Might give Rush a go myself in this thread. 😄

This looked like fun, so I tasked myself with Tom Waits. I'm a record nerd so I've divided it up into 2 sides (although it wouldn't all fit properly on one disc). Here we go...

Side A
1. Hoist That Rag (original version) - Real Gone
2. Jockey Full of Bourbon - Rain Dogs
3. Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis - Blue Valentine
4. Step Right Up - Small Change
5. Goin' Out West - Bone Machine
6. Take It With Me - Mule Variations

Side B
1. New Coat of Paint - The Heart of Saturday Night
2. Heartattack and Vine - Heartattack and Vine
3. Get Behind the Mule - Mule Variations
4. Rosie - Closing Time
5. Sixteen Shells from a Thirty-Ought-Six - Swordfishtrombones
6. Anywhere I Lay My Head - Rain Dogs

Total run time of 52 minutes

Track flow and album variety were heavily considered. Tom Waits doesn't have many songs I'd consider "hit singles" so I'm not sure if this has too many/any hits or deep cuts. But in my opinion this would be a great mix for a rookie or veteran Tom Waits listener. Also it was a lot of fun and now I have a new playlist 😎
