If you could create your own soundtrack, what would be on it?

Depends on who you ask.

If you ask me: A cross between "Excalibur" and 1980's music.

If you ask my wife: Probably something with either brooding music, or oddball-comedy.

If you ask my child: Anything funny, with lots of flatulence noises.

If you could create your own soundtrack, what would be on it?


I had been thinking about some kind of soundtrack thread....I need to think about the answer to this one.
I was going to try writing a short scene summary and someone has to pick the music that underscores it.
My soundtrack?  Not sure, but I know The Jam is on it.

My soundtrack would tell the tale of my life:

From Birth - Born In A Casket - Cannibal Corpse
Infantile age - Children of the Underworld - Deicide
Through Life - Ain't Life Grand - Black Label Society
My accomplishments - When Satan Rules His World - Deicide
The end - Are You Dead Yet - Bodom
After Death - Devoured By Vermin - Cannibal Corpse

A soundtrack thread would be cool.

A soundtrack thread would be cool.


I just have to think it through.

That's a busy day.

That's a busy day.


Indeed.

I'd quite like to be devoured by vermin after death.. on the sidewalk.  ;D

that's a great way to do it!  it helps me figure it all out....
I'm gonna go work on it.

I'll play!

Teenage years:  Clock DVA - The Hacker (Best programming music ever; DVA was doing trance 10 years before trance had been invented)
First car: Art of Noise w/Duane Eddy - Peter Gunn (Best "cruising" music when you can still enjoy cruising)
First traffic jam: Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper - Get Outa My Way (Best "traffic jam" music when you haven't learned to mellow out in traffic jams)
First love: Nine Inch Nails, Head Like A Hole (So it's a cliche, sue me.  She thought the same about me.  We were both right!)
Resulting heartbreak: Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Self Destruct, Ruiner (That's right, I was emo before it was cool!)
First epiphany:  Nine Inch Nails, The Becoming and MC 900 Foot Jesus: If I Only Had A Brain (And then, a clue appeared!)
Second epiphany: Cyber-Tek Project, Let Your Body Die, Front Line Assembly, Transparent Species (I went back to my roots: meat is for eating, not living in!)
Final epiphany: KMFDM, Dogma (A version of Nicole Blackman's Indictment, the only track on this list that's still an inspiration to me.)
I made a life-changing career move and before the ink was dry, I bought: Front 242: Headhunter 2000: Headhunter, Empirion Mix (Thanks to an anonymous headhunter!)
One year later:  Peter Gabriel, Big Time  (Sorry, Peter, I sing it with conviction, not in the ironic sense you intended!)
A few years later:  Hot R.S., Money Runner and Scotch, Money Runner (which aren't remixes of each other, despite the same name and similar band names -- Hot R.S standing for "Hot Running Scotch" -- they're unrelated; each track stands alone as an anthem to glorious greed!)
Day I bought first classic car: LA Tour - Allen's Got A New Hi-Fi (Best "break in a new car's audio system" song ever)
Day it was deemed roadworthy: Cubanate - Exultation (Best "break a few traffic laws" song ever)
Thirty seconds after I played that Cubanate track: Go-Go's Stuck In My Car (Second-best traffic jam music ever, and the best for when you're old enough to realize that traffic jams are things to laugh at, not get angry at)
Currently playing: Inspired by this thread, I've queued up Denis Leary's As*best-00s-bulletin-board-autofilter-ever*shole (which, along with Roy "Chubby" Brown's Sick as F*bleep*k are still anthems to me)

Now if y'all will excuse me, I have a mixtape to cut... well, a mix-CD to burn.  Anyways, thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I'm pretty sure it all ends up like: Leonard Cohen, The Future (but between now and then, I had a good run of it)

Indeed.

Like Kenny from South Park. Sa-weet!

I'll have to think about what my soundtrack would be. For a few years, it was the "Dirt" CD.
