Summing up my musical taste, 30 songs

Today i was peeved to discover that my phone's default media player would support only 30 songs per playlist.

So, I had to search through my expansive library (20 gigs, still growing, and i DO listen to ALL of it) to create the ultimate Franz playlist.

I went about it by trying to limit myself to one song per artist, and only picking the artists I truly enjoyed.

The result was this:

  1. Within Temptation - What Have You Done Now
  2. Prodigy - Breathe
  3. Muse - Knights of Cydonia
  4. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
  5. Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People
  6. Korn - Freak on a Leash (Rammstein Remix) (counted as neither Rammstein or Korn)
  7. Gorillaz - Fell Good Inc.
  8. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
  9. System of a Down - Hypnotize
  10. Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
  11. Rob Zombie - Dragula
  12. Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar
  13. Korn - Twisted Transistor
  14. Guns 'n Roses - Sweet Child of Mine
  15. Rammstein - Ich Will
  16. The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing called love
  17. Gorrilaz - DARE (needed to balance the hard rock somehow, don't judge me.)
  18. Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
  19. Journey - Separate Ways
  20. Sum 41 - Fat Lip
  21. Genesis - Land of Confusion
  22. Slipknot - Duality
  23. The Offspring - Self Esteem
  24. ZZ Top - La Grange
  25. The Tragically Hip - Poets
  26. Tool - Parabola
  27. U2 - Beautiful Day
  28. Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
  29. Rush - Limelight
  30. Black Label Society - Stillborn
Honorable Mentions:
Every song on Rush's "Moving Pictures"(I know Limelight made the list, but it gets an honorable mention too), on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", and Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm" (I only realized this didn't make the list after I made the list, my phone ignored the presence of this album because of its file format).

Also, too many songs too count by Pearl Jam, The Doors, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Electric Light Orchestra. I like these bands' music, just couldn't pin down what I liked about them with any one song.
