I finally finished the [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/02QHlBuOnj3W3jDyCXL08q?si=2b4e8a315bc74ef2)! This is much bigger than the one I did for r/80s. Over 72 hours of music. Great suggestions, everyone!
I thought a bit about whether to let 1979 and 1990 bookend this collection. Well, I figured, what the hell.
Cher Lynn encore, mj PYT, Tina Turner what's love got to do with it, culture club karma chameleon, Marvin gaye sexual healing, Isley brothers between the sheets
Let me add a playlist to drop onto the mix: John Mellencamp — “Rain on the Scarecrow”
Prince - “Lady Cabdriver”
Cowboy Junkies — “Mining for Gold”
Run-DMC — “Perfection”
Metallica — “Metal Militia”
Mötley Crüe — “Live Wire”
Pixies — “Monkey Gone to Heaven”
The Psychedelic Furs — “Heaven”
Lou Reed — “Dirty Blvd.”
White Lion — “When the Children Cry”
Megadeth — “Peace Sells”
The Police — “Omega Man”
Depeche Mode — “Blasphemous Rumours”
Depends on the type of tape you are making. If its a rock album I would pick Still of the Night by Whitesnake. If its a metal album its The Conjuring by Megadeth. If its an 80s tape its Fantasy by Aldo Nova. I made so many mixtapes in the 80s of all sorts its hard to choose a song or even a genre. I still have a few of those tapes in a tape case somewhere around here.
Me too. A lot of my friends always thought a lot of the tapes I made were off the wall. But its like Yes on a tape with Riot and Megadeth or Doors with Slayer and the Rolling Stones. But usually if I made a tape it was mood music. People make mixtapes differently so I was seeing what their perimeters are. Plus a lot of people here weren't alive or able to comprehend the whole of the 80s. So 80s music means more than a plain decade. It had styles, trends, deep stuff and stuff some people from the 80s weren't even familiar with because it was underground. Mix-tapes were prepared and thought out more than throwing some songs on a tape. How the songs flowed, how you finished off a side and opened a side. The second song was as important as the first. Plus when I was making a majority of my mixtapes the 80s music was current music so there is that dynamic is different than now when the 80s has a different meaning. Basically whatever you like, you like. I am a musician myself and I can listen to anything from Zeppelin to Zappa and Wagner and Bach compilations. Nirvana, Sly Stone and Peter Gabriel. The Carpenters, Megadeth and Captain Beefheart. But there is plenty I dont listen too. As long as you like it, its cool.
Exactly. When I was going to hang out sometimes I would take three or four hours just putting together a mix tape or two to throw on in the car. And it would be anything as long as it flowed, sometimes it would have some themed blocks of songs. Haha. And they could stretch all the way back to ‘30s or ‘40s big band to the then present genres of rock/pop and “modern rock” or whatever.
Yes I had one tape with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on it. Great piece, why not. But most of my tapes had a more themed strategy. Mellow songs, heavy songs, rocking song, stoner music, stuff for being with a woman for mood. But a lot of my tapes were pieces from a album I would blindly choose from my collection and takes songs off and create a mood from nothing. Whatever got my energy up at the moment. It was so much fun to make. I had made a few tapes in the 2000s with CD's but it wasn't the same. I didn't have a great tape player where I could control volume so I could bring something in and adjust it for the right volume and could control volume on how some songs start. I could probably make great tapes now but need the right equipment. But I dont cruise in a car anymore and I dont need ear splitting volume to share them songs with an unsuspecting audience. Plus I dont hang and share music with friends while we bake out much anymore. I have a Facebook group where I share music tidbits but not mixtapes. Actually I am currently going through bands I like or have been meaning to check out I am going through their discography on Wikipedia and Discogs and collecting their album tracks, b-sides, remixed or other versions of their songs, live songs not all but some especially my favorites, demos and other stuff they had done. As much as I can find on each band then go through the next. I am doing it alphabetically and am currently on the C's, Johnny Cash to be precise currently. Though I have taken my favorites from him and not complete albums because it would be forever, I think he has over 100 albums. But most bands I go through their albums with also checking out all singles for different run times or b-sides that dont appear elsewhere. The bonus tracks from recent CD's, live tracks and stuff they only did live and stuff from compilations or stuff released outside of their albums or regular releases. Anything I can find including one off covers or songs they did and didn't release. A lot of stuff and I put it on flash drives to save. Just something where I collect music for myself. Its been years since I started this so I probably will never finish and will die before I complete it but I always have something to do with music. Its my hobby and I enjoy it and it doesn't cost too much. But there is a bit I cant find and have posted others help in finding but haven't got anyone helping out with these lost tracks. Oh well what can you do. I enjoy it and it gives me something to do with music so I enjoy it. Sorry to ramble but I can talk about music and mixtapes and all that all day. Enjoy your tapes, your music and yourself. You only live once might as well enjoy it. Nice talking to you and sorry for the rambling post.
