I'm going to setup my 25 disc CD changer for parties in my family room. I'm planning on taking the CD's and combining them to conserve space, so I'm thinking I can get 35 - 40 CD's worth of music in the players. So I want suggestions. I'm looking for whole albums, not just songs.

Right now, I'm thinking of things like Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Doors, Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, etc...

Go!

What happened to the NAS box you were setting up a while back, or was that for a client?

Well, I setup a NAS Box for a client. I also have one, but it's not up and running yet.

I do see where you are going, but I got a lot of music that people wouldn't enjoy as much as I do (Pantera, Limp Biskit, George Carlin, stuff that's not really family party friendly). I do plan on having the option of hooking up my wife's laptop or my Zen...

I could make a playlist, but I've already got the CD player there so I figured I'd fill it.

Well, Pandora is cool, but I'm looking to load up whole albums so that we can have some continuity if we want... 80 minute CD's = 1.33 hours each, x 25 disks = 33 hours of music, give or take.

If I condense the albums, I can have like 40 albums, so I can put it on random and get a good mix, or listen to Led Zeppelin II, or Nevermind, or Rubber Soul if I want to...

Yes, I'm aware all this can be done with computers, but I don't have a PC to put there, and I have the CD player already, so there's no outlay of cash.

So, you spend an hour or 3 listening to Pandora getting lists of artists.

Then you pull those artists out of your CD rack (or burn CD's from your library).

Of course, if you just want names of groups:

Creed
NIN
Soundgarden
Offspring
Korn
Interpol
Collective Soul
Bruce Hornsby (earlier stuff - but its lighter than your original list)
REM
Replacements
Poidog Pondering (sp?)
Bad Examples (good luck finding one)
Rebel Peasants (if you have one of theirs, I know you outside The Other)
Fleetwood Mac

Mike.

Looking at the artists you've listed already, Deep Purple's classic "Machine Head" should be on your list.

I'd also put in a good word for Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" (best album he ever made IMHO), and I think someone else has already suggested Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours".

Creed - crap
NIN - excellent, will most likely add Pretty Hate Machine.
Soundgarden - meh
Offspring - Cool
Korn - excellent, will likely be on my "second set" to put in when the crowd is a little more open minded... Like Downward Spiral from NIN...
Interpol - Haven't heard them, but I know the name, so I'll look into them...
Collective Soul - crap
Bruce Hornsby (earlier stuff - but its lighter than your original list) - meh
REM - crap
Replacements - meh
Poidog Pondering (sp?) - not too sure it's my bag, baby, but I'll check them out...
Bad Examples (good luck finding one) - ???
Rebel Peasants (if you have one of theirs, I know you outside The Other) - ???
Fleetwood Mac - most definately... don't have any, but I know this will be an easy one to clear w/ the wife if I want to purchase one or two...

Mike.



Thanks for all the suggestions...

Both are Chicago area local bands and both defunct. :( Bad Examples were more pop than you're looking for (but good, imo). Rebel Peasants were more along your lines, but there's nothing released under any label (though they made 2 or 3 CDs) .

Kickass... Me likey the new lists...

Quote :

I will have to look into the FM transmitter, that looks quite kickass... I also would be able to run an RCA cable from my computer room to the stereo, but it would be like 75' of cable, so the $50 on the FM transmitter might be a good idea... I think I can get a basic system going just to play MP3's. Maybe look into Linux and just run it off of a CD and then play the music from my NAS. There's a place around here selling old T23 laptops for like $175 w/ Win2K installed, I think that would play music OK...


4Ryan6 - I like your list, will go over it again later...

Anoobis, your list is pretty good too... Not too into the hip hop, but I started my list and got through two or three albums, and STP Core (and Purple) are on the list... I also really like the suggestion of Prodigy, Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Paul Oakenfold. I have some music from the first two, so I will be looking into all of those...

For Scammy, I'll do Tool.... because they r00l.

Oh, and for Ryan and Llama, I'll have to get some Tull... My youngest brother and my dad are into Tull, and I'm starting to get into them a bit more...

AV, you've also got a few good names on the list, lots of stuff to look into!!!

Thanks all, keep them coming!!!

No, it was because of his experience with Coors. They thought it would prove useful having experts on chemical warfare.

I'm not ready to spend money on something that I can get for free (radio that is, I don't mind the commercials). What I may do if I make this laptop / FM transmitter thing happen is just stream some internet radio. I found a few good ones through WinAmp, and that could be an option if I ever get bored of my music...

Sirius and XM both suck. Most of the stations play the same recycled playlist of music you can hear on the radio for free but with commercials and you still have to put up with some lame DJ. Their only benefit is if you're into talk, news or sports radio.

Free internet radio stations like ChronixRadio and the like are way better.
