Best compilation CD you have made.




Recently I find myself mostly listening to compilation CD's that I have made from my existing CD's. It seems that there is rarely a new CD that has more than two songs that I want to listen to. The compilation that I listen to the most is the following:
Jacintha Here's to Life
Eva Cassidy Cathy's Song
Cowboy Junkies Blue Moon
Patricia Barber The Beat Goes On
Eva Cassidy Ain't No Sunshine
Cowboy Junkies I'm so lonely I could cry
Sarah Brighton Scarborough Fair
Jacintha Georgia on my mind
Allison Moore Soft place to fall
Cowboy Junkies Misguided Angel
Eva Cassidy Autumn Leaves
Sarah McLachlan I'll remember you
Jacintha Danny Boy
Sarah Brighton Whiter shade of pale
Patricia Barber Ode to billy Joe
Eva Cassidy What a wonderful World

I would like to see a list of songs that would be on your favorite compilation. Jazz, Blues, Classical, Etc.

Ah, the compilation of a thoroughly accredited modern audiophile...Lord spare me... :-(

[Note: This is without a doubt thee most despicable post I've ever written on Audiogon, but I'm sorry, when it comes to music, I just can't help myself. One might think these guys' heads would explode if they ever listened to anything besides audio-weenie-approved white chix. Wake up people...The love of our damn systems is not the raison d'etre for what we play through them - it's supposed to be the other way around! Then again, most HT-junkies get their surround systems precisely because they want to repeatedly expose themselves to the most commercial of contemporary Hollywood product, so maybe just the fact that someone can be driven on their quest for technology by a love of the 'art' is no guarantee of an interesting aesthetic outcome either...]
Alex, you are so cynical :-)

My favorite compilation has 90+ songs on it ! I have an MP3-compatible player in my car, and I created 2 "volumes" of music: the mellower side, and the harder side.

Sonics bedamned, they are both SUPERB fun to listen to in the car !!

If anyone wants me to list the 90+ on one CD, and the 80+ on the other, let me know. I'll cheerfully avoid it due to typing cramps ;-P

Seriously, though, if you enjoy the music (and there ARE some musical choices in the CD above), why not ?!

Hey, Alex, BTW, what songs do you have for a Chameleons compilation CD ?
Todd - That comp filled up two 110 minute cassettes (guess I didn't leave out all that much :-) and was made long before I could even conceive of a CD-burner's existence...As a 'sound' however, the Chams aren't too typical of my overall listening tastes, so I don't think they've ever landed on one of my 'mix' comps - they're single-malt all the way baby.
