The Retro Playlist

[Midgar Mist]

So.......ive held back enough on the subject of music.

As with pretty much everything else, I have a love of old things.

My views on music are very strong, I'm a staunch anti-populist (like something because its good, not because its popular)

Heres my current playlist (on a CD player, NOT an ipod)

Dig Me Out - Sleater Kinney
EMOH - Lou Barlow
International Superhits - Greenday
Hunky Dory - David Bowie
Poses - Rufus Wainwright
Want One - Rufus Wainwright
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
The Kick Inside - Kate Bush
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
Grey Will Fade - Charlotte Hatherley
Free All Angels - Ash

Individual songs

Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Because the Night - The Patti Smith Group
Dancing the Dark - Bruce Springsteen
Just a Girl - No Doubt
Spiderwebs - No Doubt
Going Under - Evanescence
Bring Me to Life - Evanescence
Horses - Tori Amos
Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac

and many more, thats how much Im into it, its the best therapy around (way better than any health service)

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I'm a fan of most of the songs on the individual song list, but I'm not as familiar with the albums you mentioned so I can't really say.

EDIT: I'm at work, so I'll have to compile a list of older stuff I like when I have time to sit down and think about it.

[Midgar Mist]

Tis ok mate. If only I had full access to you tube on this excuse for a phone I would post actual links to this stuff rather than just describing it. I only have my finite time on library computers at the moment.

[Mirage]

But do you hate things just because they are popular as well? :p

[Midgar Mist]

No I suppose not. If I said that I was exaggerating. There's the odd popular thing I like

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I must try putting some active links up myself
Now I've got a better phone
And yes, noticed Paul Simon there. I have a childhood memory of the song You Can Call Me Al, plus its one of the many song lyrics that my dad likes to quote

[Ayen]

Evanescence all the way. I have their Fallen CD.

And Britney Spears.

I REGRET NOTHING!

[Yellow_Magic]

Not sure what you mean by 'Retro' in this case (Fleet Foxes = Retro??)

I was visiting my dad in Copenhagen last week, and he's got a pretty good collection of random old disco tracks. A lot of the stuff he put on during car journeys etc. rubbed off on me.

The Gibson Brothers - Que Sera Mi Vida (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q9DXSJyNN4)
Robey - One Night in Bangkok (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIoSlM1np1M)
Heatwave - Boogie Nights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7g6_n7AW8g)
and of course: Earth, Wind & Fire - September (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ter0p_iyIxk)

[QUOTE=Yellow_Magic;3582992]Not sure what you mean by 'Retro' in this case (Fleet Foxes = Retro??)

The above point you raise is valid. I get carried away sometimes lol

[maybee]

I can't remember my retro playlist right now, but it's loaded with music from the 80's and some of 'em from the 70's. There's a rare few from the 90's but unpopular opinion- 90's music wasn't that great.

[Foo]

Hunky Dory - David Bowie



Hunky Dory is alright, but David Bowie's late 70's work really takes the cake.

Station to Station (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_to_Station)( my personal favorite)
Low (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_%28David_Bowie_album%29)
Heroes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Heroes%22_%28David_Bowie_album%29)

You can pretty much skip Lodger.

[Bubba]

Pink Moon - Nick Drake

OK, so Midgar Mist is my new favourite member.

[theundeadhero]

When I was a kid I thought the music my dad listened to in the 70's was good old music, now people call the music from when I was a kid old :whimper:

[Midgar Mist]

Here's more. These songs sum up how I've felt one time or another in my life:

[Shiny]

Poses is quite a good album. I have it all on a CD some where. I rarely get full albums but when I do it's usually because I like all of the songs, and that's really rare. Last full album I bought I believe was MGMT, their first two albums, but they're not that old school.

Pink Moon - Nick Drake

OK, so Midgar Mist is my new favourite member.

Ah ha I've only just discovered you said this. I'm gonna hold you to that when the Ciddies come round!

[SammieBabe]

Currently listening to Gustav Holst's "The Planets - Mars, the Bringer of War".

That's Retro. :D

My fave retro 90s dance classics:
