I saw this at another forum and thought it too good of an idea to not bring to this board. The basic idea is to either: make a tracklisting of your favorite tracks from any cd of a single band OR choose your favorite two tracks from every full-length album from any single artist and make a list of them. I like this idea so much because I'm a huge fan of making myself (and others) mixed cds, and this is a nice way of getting people into the best songs from the chosen artists.
Edit: Remember, ONE BAND and one band only for your list.
I'll start off.
Darkthrone (I made this one for a buddy of mine, so it is short enough to be burned):
1.) Av Vind Av Sorg
2.) Transilvanian Hunger
3.) Quintessence
4.) Hate is the Law
5.) Crossing the Triangle of Flames
6.) Kathaarian Life Code
7.) Skald Av Satans Sol
8.) Under a Funeral Moon
9.) The Hordes of Nebulah
10.) The Serpents Harvest
11.) In the Shadow of the Horns
12.) The Claws of Time
13.) Cromlech
14.) Summer of the Diabolical Holocaust
I tried to give the listener a feel for all the eras of Darkthrone (minus the horrible ones, such as Plaguewielder).
Sabredog (and only him) if you make a Dream Theater one, I will burn it and give it a listen.
K!
