Please vote for the tracklisting you LIKE THE MOST.
Welcome to the seventh qualifying round of the Interference Desert Island Game II! The premise of this game is that all of the Interferencers have been stranded on a desert island and we can only take up to 160 minutes of music with us (either as a continuous iPod playlist or two 80 minute CDs or any other format of our choosing). The object is to see which forum member can fit the most musical goodness into these 160 minutes.
In the last round, LJT beat Salome in a 20-11 win.
This round features tracklistings by Fly So High! and LemonMacPhisto. Below, you will find their tracklistings. If you are unfamiliar with the songs included, we can help you hear them! Just leave your e-mail address.
Reminder for contestants: if there was an error on your tracklisting on the master list thread, let me know before your qualifying round so I can post the correct tracklist!

Its on!!!

By the way if anyone is wondering my total runtime is 2:39:25
 
Tough call, I love all the Aussie represesntaion in Fly So High's, but Lemon's got Live Forever, Tomorrow Never Knows and Mayonaise....

Fly So High for me...(good luck)
 
Flysohigh.

Some stuff I'm not fussed on in both lists but flysohigh's had a lot, lot more that I like. And she put on Madonna, Elvis and Kylie

:drool:
 
LMP for me for a loooooooooooooong shot. He's got some of my favorite songs on there and an awesome feeling of continuity.

Fly So High, while it's a good playlist overall, has a lot of stuff I find absolutely unlistenable. No way, jose.
 
LemonMacPhisto's list is easily the best. FlySoHigh's list has Jet and Wish You Were Here-->Hound Dog, the weirdest transition known to man. :|
 
When i was creating my playlist, i did not put much thought into the transition of the overall playlist (i'm not really good at that sort of stuff)........when i e-mailed my playlist i also e-mailed a questionaire here are my answers, this might help explain....as the music that's in my playlist is the music i would not want stuck on an island without!

What are the main three genres represented?

There are actually mainly 2 in my play list: ROCK and POP.
There are a handful of assorted goodies that range from Reggae to Folk Music!


What is the overall mood, if any?

Nostalgic


Is most of the play list: loud, soft or in between?

In Between!


What five adjectives would best describe the play list?

Derailed, Hopeful, Pessimistic, Joyous and Playful

Wow, tough call here :scratch:

Oh, and LMP, is the check in the mail? :shifty:

Fed-Ex'd right to your door :happy:

I hope you guys like my Dwight reference at the very bottom of my playlist :wink:

There's a problem with track 27 on my playlist, the album title and runtime got left off.

It should be:

27. The Smashing Pumpkins - "Mayonaise" - Siamese Dream (5:48)
 
Easily the most difficult choice for me so far. In fact they're probably my 2 most favourite tracklists of the competition. I'm thinking fly so high! right now but that would be a choice of mood rather than anything else. And I went to see Jet this week.

I'll come back later.
 
15. Bob Dylan - "Blowin' in the Wind" - Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (2:44)
16. Lou Reed - "Walk on the Wild Side" - Transformer (4:07)
17. R.E.M. - "Find the River" - Automatic for the People (3:49)


Too bad voting is closed. You were my arch nemesis in the last desert island contest, but those transitions :drool:
