Today is Neil Young day for me. All his albums (studio & live), set to play randomly. I guess that covers just about every genre under the sun. Talk about a schizophrenic musician.

Damn, that's an awesome list!

Gee, thanks! Several people have commented on it. I just threw together some of my favorite punk songs and came up with it in about 5 minutes. I didn't think it was anything special at the time.

Damn, that's an awesome list!

Agreed. I've been on a The Jam kick lately. Dead boys and the Damned are good anytime.

I burned a similar set of Young Cd's last time I drove up to Chicago. And the neighbors love it when I pick up the guitar and start cranking through my Down By the River/Cowgirl in the Sand/Powderfinger medley!

Bonus points if you can spot the Britney Spears cover in there.

Nice N' Sleazy?

My 3 year old nephew (best friend's kid) likes "Ziggy Stardust" and "Another Brick in the Wall"

When my four year old kid (who's now pushing 9) told us his favorite song was DEVO's "Whip It" I knew I had nothing to worry about.

Of course, at the same age he was asking waitresses to take back the ketchup and bring out Tabasco sauce for his fries. What a chip off the old block!
