|   If your CD player kept track of # of revolutions per disc.. | PwrPopGuy
Aug 13, 2002 8:15 AM | | ...which CD or artist would have the highest mileage? To answer my own question, it's really hard to guess but I'd probably go with McCartney and Steely Dan. Rave Recs comps would be right up there too.
How bout you? |
| And I thought this was a pretty good topic! | PwrPopGuy

Aug 14, 2002 7:15 AM | | Seriously, I thought it was a worthwhile post and was very surprised to see no one respond til now. I guess most folks around these parts are tired of these polls or me posting too much.. :-)
Let's see what I can cook up next!!
Oh yeah, my next comp will be called "Good Rockin' Tonight" and will feature good rockin' tunes, no particular time frame or genre, just stuff that sounds good back-to-back rollin' down the freeway. I think I'll try to interweave more modern tunes with classic tracks- that should be a bit of a challenge (Dang, am I talkin' to myself again?!) |
| How 'bout a comp title thread? | Slosh
Aug 14, 2002 3:16 PM | | I'm thinking of calling my next one <i>Sloshus Compus Pompus</i>, depending on what music I actually put on it (haven't thought that far ahead yet).
NP: Kind Of Bland |
| Good idea, I'll be thinking on that one (nt) | PwrPopGuy
Aug 14, 2002 4:24 PM | | I said no text, man!! |
| that would be a compus maximus ridiculus! (NT) | RPM
Aug 15, 2002 2:56 AM | | no textus |
| tee hee. nice one :-) (no textus) | Slosh

| Could be Twilight Singers for me | RPM
Aug 14, 2002 2:26 PM | | Sorry Rick, I passed up on reading your outstanding thread yesterday, then last night I didn't even check the board, since I wanted totally focus on my music appreciation session.
I've been trying to think which discs recent/all time have gotten the most spin time...hmmm, tougher than I thought. That Twilight Singers disc might qualify for most recent, and as far as comps go, I burned numerous copies of my mellow set recently, so I'm sure they would be up there as well (do comps count?)
All time? Wow, tough. Yes - Close to the Edge? PF -Animals? Genesis - Duke? Styx - Grand Illusion? (hangs head in shame ;-)) or could it be NEWS OF THE WORLD??? :-) probably not, although that one is probably right up there. |
| are we counting turntable RPM's too? ;-) | Masonjar
Aug 15, 2002 4:45 AM | | in that case, I'd go with Husker Du.. since my collection is split between vinyl and cd, though the two I listen to most (<i>New Day Rising</i> and <i>Warehouse: Songs and Stories</i>) are on the black stuff..
Other top spinners: Minutemen, Hum, Jesus Lizard, Replacements, Sonic Youth, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips.
:-) big surprises here! lol...
if you went all the way back to when I was a kid though, Iron Maiden and AC/DC would score pretty high too.. esp. on the vinyl scale..

| How is that different from sheer spinnage? | DustyChalk
Aug 15, 2002 4:43 PM | | I mean, there's a coupla ways:
- you leave it on pause;
- longer disk;
- heavy emphasis on the later tracks (CD spins fastest at the end, I believe);
...but none of those really change anything in a way that's significantly different to just plain listening time, I don't think...
Sorry, just being funny in my typical geek-hole way.
Mine are probably:
Garbage 1 & 2, Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, Stabbing Westward's Darkest Days (I love that last song, see third bullet above), and Einsturzende Neubauten's Silence is Sexy.
...I think. I'll probably think of others as soon as I hit post, but won't bother posting them.
Unless you mean single disk (not remaster or replacement copy or anything). In which case it's probably one of my earliest ones, like Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn, or something. |
