Ressurection topic 1: The album of your life

The Liberal District is eerily quiet just now, so I’ll add a few topics.

If you were to make up a music CD that sums up your life, what tracks would go on it and why? Say, a maximum playing time of 70 mins, with 15 tracks max.

Also, what would you like as the backing music? Same as before.

I dunno about the minutes so I’m just going to put the tracks.It’s already hard enough to choose…

1.Strip the Soul - Porcupine Tree
2.Missunderstood - Dream Theater
3.Get Back in The Car - Chroma Key
4.Freak Boy - Spock’s Beard
5.Seedling - Hate Dept
6.Ariel’s Lament - Soul Reaver 2 OST
7.Giant Creature - Panzer Dragoon Zwei OST
8.Gehn’s Theme - Riven OST
9.Seek 300 - Information Society
10.Parallel Universe - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
11.Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
12.Lightbulb Sun - Porcupine Tree
13.Ending Credits - Panzer Dragoon Zwei OST
14.Seeker’s Strnoghold - Panzer Dragoon Saga OST
15.Interception - Panzer Dragoon Saga OST

This is VERY difficult to make but that’s one of the 100 possibilities.

Well, I don’t know about an album of my life but I have been toying around with the idea of creating 3 CDs for the past 3 years of my life (1 CD per school year, starting with 2001). I’ve only figured out what I’d put on the first CD so far, so here it is. This is in roughly autobiographically chronological order, starting with late summer 2001.

First CD (Late summer 2001 - early June 2002)

  1. Homeworld (The Ladder) - Yes
  2. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  3. Simple - Collective Soul
  4. New Languages - Yes
  5. Duck and Run - 3 Doors Down
  6. Wish You Were Here - Incubus
  7. Dreamtime - Yes (This is the song in my PD music video, by the way)
  8. Philosophy - Ben Folds’ Five
  9. Aliens Exist - Blink 182
  10. Open Your Heart - Sonic Team (Sonic Adventure OST)
  11. Rockstar - Jimmy Eat World

It’s only 11 tracks, but several of those songs are over 10 minutes long.

As for explanation… I don’t think that’s possible. I’m probably the only one who will ever understand what these songs mean together in this order.

EDIT: I TOTALLY forgot an important song (now number 10). Wow. How could I forget that? Well, it has been over two years I suppose.
