Broadening my girlfriend's musical horizons (my new mix CD)

[UnforgettableLemon]

My girlfriend really loves discovering new music, and I'm making a mix CD to help her. Luckily I was able to fit 20 songs on there. Hopefully most of it isn't too mainstream, as that does defeat the purpose of broadening the horizon. And her roomate at college can't stand mainstream music, so maybe they can both enjoy this. Anyway, here's the tracklisting:

Whatever Happened to my Rock n' Roll- BRMC
Alone, Together- The Strokes
If It Were Up to Me- Rooney
Sonnet- The Verve
Cut Your Ribbon- Sparta
Words- Doves
Heavy Metal Drummer- Wilco
Avalon- Sigur Ros
Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley
Drive By- Glen Phillips
So Why So Sad- Manic Street Preachers
Hotel Yorba- White Stripes
The Riverboat Song- Ocean Colour Scene
This is Love- PJ Harvey
In My Place- Coldplay
I Wanna Be Adored- The Stone Roses
Yeah, Whatever- Splender
The Boxer- Carbon Leaf
Step On My Old Size Nines- The Stereophonics
Why Does it Always Rain on Me?- Travis

[UnforgettableLemon]

She and her father both already own every Radiohead album.

 

[The Wanderer]

[Zoomerang96]

her father? good man, you'll want to marry into this family

agreed.

[UnforgettableLemon]

Dude, you got no idea. As long as he doesn't find out we've been having sex and decides to kill me, her dad is aaaaaaaawesome. I mean, he's 6'4" and 280 pounds and scary, but his taste in music and sarcasm can't be beat. I mean he was upstairs one day just jamming out on his guitar playing Frank Zappa's "Broken Hearts are for Assholes".

He also likes the Pumpkins and Tool.

 

[The Wanderer]

have you ever heard the Zappa song, "I promise not to come in your mouth"

I heard this is a real song, what a great title, Tipper Gore would be proud

UnFLemon-
Have you considered any.."Spandau-Ballet"?jk

DB9

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Nah, I can only take Zappa in small doses, so I don't go out looking for more. He's beyond genious, but it doesn't appeal to me all the time. I just have the compilation and Sheik Yerbouti.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

You know Diamond, she does like some New Wave. Therefore I will keep it as far from her as possible. You are truly disturbing at times, and God bless you for it.

 

[Cowgirl]

diamond
you are a frightening man
