New Wave Outpost Forum

Here's a twist on a recent favorite game - this time, pick ONE artist on your iPod (preferably one with a sizable catalog), hit shuffle, and list the first ten songs that play - then rate the songs from 1 to 5 *'s based on how much you like it (in relation to that artist's catalog, not just in general). I'll start with one of my favorites, a-ha:

1. The Sun Never Shone That Day (Minor Earth Major Sky) **
2. Hunting High And Low (Extended Remix) (Scoundrel Club) ****
3. Lamb To The Slaughter (Memorial Beach) ***
4. Angel In The Snow (Memorial Beach) *
5. Keeper Of The Flame (Analogue) ****
6. Manhattan Skyline (Extended Remix) (Scoundrel Club) *****
7. There's A Reason For It (Lifelines) ***
8. The Blood That Moves The Body (Stay On These Roads) ***
9. Differences (Original Demo) (Forever Not Yours CDM) **
10. I Wish I Cared (Minor Earth Major Sky) **
