Give me your best! Inspired by HuronBob who had a similar question on Ask deleted, what one song (and even one album) is a must when starting a playlist or storing music on a laptop. Best of any genre.
I zero out my MP3 about two months and rebuild the playlists and music library, but the album that always goes back on is Equals Greatest Hits. So for my suggestion I'll throw in a song that I've started several mix tapes/disc with: "Police on My Back" by the Equals. Of course, you couldn't go wrong with the Clash's cover.
Miko, in the context of tapes I thought your Israelites link would be to Maxell tape - Me ears are alight.
Since that mondegreen advert I have difficulty hearing that lyrics otherwise.
Hahaha, I see I'm not the only ad-damaged one around here. :)
I tend to grab "the most recent songs on my brain" for mixtapes, and then I remind myself to grab something like Curtis Mayfield - Hell Below just to remind myself not to get locked into a single genre. Single genre playlists are predictable.
