New "Meet Me, Get to Know Me" List

[NuWaveRx]

Thought I'd give this a try:

We have a lot of relatively new members here (Minty's true identity notwithstanding). Although we've done this sort of thing at the Outpost before, I thought I'd see if it flies this time.

Think back to when you were getting to know someone new. I suspect that if music wasn't important to you, you wouldn't be on this board. How could you communicate where you stand "musically"? What 15 songs would you choose to have them "get to know you"? Perhaps this way we can get to know some of the newer members on the Outpost. Why 15 songs? It's what you can usually fit on a standard CD-R with .wav format...


I'll go first:

1. Lloyd Cole and the Commotions-Perfect Skin
2. Prefab Sprout-Horsin' Around
3. A Flock of Seagulls-Remember David
4. The Chameleons-Swamp Thing
5. Big Country-Porrohman
6. Duran Duran--Lonely In Your Nightmare
7. INXS-Dancing on the Jetty
8. The Fixx-Sunshine in the Shade
9. Men Without Hats-Jenny Wore Black
10. ABC-Date Stamp
11. Depeche Mode-Shout
12. The Lover Speaks-This Can't Go On
13. The Cure-To The Sky
14. Simple Minds-Glittering Prize
15. The English Beat-Best Friend

By no means inclusive, but enough to give you an idea where I'm coming from musically (at least NW)
And YOU??
