Twenty Songs

So I have seen on several blogs now an interesting exercise (with some variations): put your MP3 player on shuffle, and list the first 20 songs. Here are mine, from my "general music" list, which excludes holiday music (mostly Samhain/Halloween and Yule/Christmas), spoken word works, comedy and the like, but still manages to contain 4842 songs:

  1. They Dance Alone (Gueca Solo) - Sting
  2. From The Inside (acoustic) - Def Leppard
  3. Brainscan - HooDoo Gurus
  4. Tears - Rush
  5. Don't Hide Your Love - The Rembrandts
  6. Miss America - Styx
  7. Interstate Love Song (live) - Stone Temple Pilots
  8. Magical Wave - Kitaro
  9. The Only One I Know - The Charlatans, UK
  10. Sadeness, find love, sadeness (reprise) - Enigma
  11. Come a Little Bit Closer - Fleetwood Mac
  12. I'm no Angel - Dido
  13. Pacha Mama - Mike Oldfield
  14. Kommotion - Duane Eddy
  15. Metaphor on the Floor - Art of Noise
  16. As the Sun Sets over London - Jools Holland
  17. Your Haunted Head - Concrete Blonde
  18. Kiss of Spring - Bel Canto
  19. Kick - INXS
  20. Constant Craving - k.d. lang

Actually, this is fairly representative of my collection. No metal, no blues and no folk; but other than that representative. I didn't really expect that, given that it's such a small proportion of the overall collection.

So is there any point in this, or is it just the fun of it?

Point? Next thing, you'll be asking for reason, logic and consistency. Bah! I scoff at your idea of "point"! Bah!

Um, I mean, no, no point. Just for kicks.
