Here's something I haven't done in quite a while: The Friday Random Top Ten. So, let's fire up iTunes, set it to "shuffle play" and see what comes up, shall we?
Here we go:
- The Kinks, Going Solo (from: Word of Mouth).
- David Bowie, White Light/White Heat (from: Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: July 3, 1973, Hammersmith Odeon).
- Alice Cooper, Elected (from: Billion Dollar Babies).
- Dire Straits, Industrial Disease (from: Love Over Gold)
- Frank Sinatra, London By Night (from: The Best of the Columbia Years: 1943-1952).
- Morrissey, I'll Never Be Anyone's Hero Now (from: Ringleader of the Tormentors).
- Sufjan Stevens, The Seer's Tower (from: Illinois).
- The Cult, Big Neon Glitter (from: Love).
- The Beatles, Helter Skelter (from: White Album).
- Woody Guthrie, Talking Dust Bowl Blues (from: Dust Bowl Ballads).
Well, now, that's an unusual mix, even for me. The juxtaposition of Frank Sinatra and Morrissey actually went together better than you would think. This list also gives me the excuse to plug the Sufjan Stevens album, which I would have included on my list of the best of 2005 if I had purchased it before posting my list. I probably would have bumped The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute to make room for it.

It's Friday, and I haven't done this for a long time; so here we go. I fired up iTunes, set it to Shuffle Play, and awaited with baited breath for what came out. See how this stuff compares to Mark's list today:

One of the great things about blogging is that I can do things that I always wanted to do but would never get hired in a million years to do, for example, to be a rock critic. Prior to blogging, the only time I ever got to indulge my critic wannabe side was in high school, where I wrote a couple of…
Twelve of the Top 25 Most Played songs were correctly identified over the weekend. Given the obscurity of some of these, that's pretty impressive. I think there's only one that should've been obvious that didn't get guessed.
Full answers are below the fold.
