11 I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses (Dammit, I wish The Doors was one track longer)
12 Trilogy - Sonic Youth (That was by far the easiest choice)

I think the would make for a pretty interesting listen.

(Interestingly there are so many good songs at 10, it was really hard to choose one :()

It would have been cool to have "The end" as the final track.

I've been listening a lot of hip hop lately and I wanted to make a compilation, but with the rules it was a bit hard.. It probably wouldn't make for a good overall album due to variety of styles... Anyway:

1. Liquid Swords - GZA (Liquid Swords)
2. Accordion - Madvillain (Madvillainy)
3. Stan- Eminem (The Marshall Mathers LP)
4. Earth People- Dr. Octagon (Dr. Octagonecologyst)
5. Ms. Jackson- Outkast (Stankonia)
6. Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park) - Nas (Illmatic)
7. Hola Hovito - Jay-Z (The Blueprint)
8. C.R.E.A.M- Wu-Tang Clan (Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers))
9. Eye Know- De La Soul (3 Feet High & Rising)
10. Juicy- Notorious B.I.G. (Ready to Die)
11. Jazz (We've Got) - A Tribe Called Quest (The Low End Theory)
12. Leta 1600- Klemen Klemen (Trnow Stajl) (worth checking even if you can't understand the lyrics)

*13. Otha Fish- The Pharcyde (Bizzare Ride II The Pharcyde)
*14. Tennessee- Arrested Development (3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of...)
* = bonus tracks
😜
There are so many great songs that are 3rd on the album, at the end I picked Stan over Don't Believe the Hype and Power.. Also, it pains me to put Hola Hovito up there, esp. between Nas and Wu-Tang, but I really couldn't do it any other way and still fit the rules (and get to no. 14 and Tennessee)... I'll update this when I listen to some more stuff 😄

edit: added youtube links for each song 😁

edit 2: oh I see now that we were supposed to only do 12 😕 .. Ok the 13 and 14 are bonus international tracks 😁

Gonna try to make an Ultimate Metal Mixtape using these parameters:

1. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due-Megadeth
2. Slaughter of the Soul-At the Gates
3. For Whom the Bell Tolls-Metallica
4. Hell Bent For Leather-Judas Priest
5. Stargazer-Rainbow
6. Maiden, Mother and Crone-The Sword
7. Powerslave-Iron Maiden
8. Dopethrone-Electric Wizard
9. Painkiller-Death

I did it pretty fast and didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about it but I think it's a pretty good introductory course all things considered.
