The Soundtrack To Your Life

[Man Who Sold The World 0]

Doesn't have to be a list that describes you, just if your life was a TV show/Movie what songs would you put in it that would reflect your life and times. Here's mine:

 

1. Roots "Star"

2. Gnarls Barkeley "Crazy"

3. Andre 3000 "Vibrate"

4. Better Than Ezra "Circle Of Friends"

5. The Prodigy "Breathe"

6. Funeral For A Friend "History"

7. Massive Attack ft. Portishead "Teardrop"

8. Eagles Of Death Metal "Whorehoppin' "

9. Little Brother "Speed"

10. Kansas "Dust in The Wind"

11. Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive"

12. Eagles "Desperado"

13. Black Label Society "Fire It Up"

14. G. Love And The Special Sauce "Basketball"

15. House Of Pain "Fed Up"

16. The Clash "Rudie Can't Fall"

17. Violent Femmes "Blister In The Sun"

18. Ben Folds "Landed"

19. Lupe Fiasco "Kick Push"

20. Kanye West "Family Business"

21. David Bowie "Under Pressure"

22. Metallica "Don't Tread On Me"

23. Filter "Welcome To The Fold"

 

Ah I'll end it there, so many more though. I'm leaving out more Violent Femmes, RL Burnside, ALOT of John Coltrane, Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion and harder stuff like Pantera but oh fuckin' well you get the picture. I got the idea because I'm currently writing a screenplay about a troubled teenager who finds happiness in his friends and music (something a few of us can relate to I'm sure).

A shitload of The Misfits, random underground thrash/hardcore bands (two from North Carolina, two from Mass), perhaps some Gregorian Chant, and...

 

...I'M THE SCATMAN!!!!!!!!

Matthew Wilder -- "Break My Stride."

 

That'd be it. The series/movie would be all about shit that tried to bring me down and the music would hit whenever I found my way out of the situation.

Lots of stuff by Townes Van Zandt...lots. Mostly "To Live is to Fly" and "She Came and She Touched Me". And for my dramatic death scene-"Funkytown".
