For me a mix tape is something to be played at parties to avoid having to keep selecting tunes and having uncomfortable gaps in the music. Therefore it has to be danceable party music.

I only ever made mix tapes to impress girls.

Nice one, that's what this is about

Their debut album Funeral is terrific, one of the best since 2000.

It’s a rare album that I still play from start to finish these days. Wake Up my favourite though (original I know).

I don't go to parties. And if I did, my mixtape would consist of Elliott Smith and Nick Drake songs.

We made them for warmups for pregame --- nothing like merging the love of music and beautiful game.

Hey Red85 -- could you re-post pictures rather than videos -- it clogs up the page?

Or something that was put together for a long drive down to the coast instead of listening to the radio.

Mine are pretty much the same. It depends who is driving and in the car.

My driving tape would contain a bit more drum and base and trance.

Me as well... one of my all time favorite US bands from college (The BoDeans) - a lot of drive time spent listening.
Hated their more popular closer to free stuff.

Just out of interest (and apologies if this has been discussed before), does the one hit wonder count towards the maximum of two tracks per decade rule?

Was heavily considering Blue Monday too. Nice one, Sudden Death.

Also, is Bobinhood joining us? He's always good value.

75% of my list of 118 songs for this are from the 60's/70's/early 80's

I could do three drafts from the 70's --- it is so difficult to choose the best one. It depends upon the day.

I'd never even heard of it before but it's terrific. SDDL definitely gets bonus points from me for that.

I've added your picks to the selection thread.

If everyone's okay with it, you'll go after Lastrador.

Yup, the more the merrier! So many songs, so few draftees.
