The Songs I Never Listen To - Track list

#1 Post by telys »

Time to make a track list/album out of songs we never listen to. For me it could be both songs I don't like as well as songs that are too famous, songs I've already listened to enough back in the old days.

My track list:
1. It's a sin [but I do listen to the Miami mix]
2. In Private (Elton John duet) [but I do listen to the original]
3. Up and down
4. After the event
5. No more ballads
6. Odd man out
7. Wedding in Berlin
8. Love is a C
9. The night I fell
10. In denial

For me: all of Elysium except Everything means something, memory of the future and invisible. Also I would add What keeps mankind alive, into thin air, positive role model, adrenaline, say it to me, the dark end of the street, burn and the Elton collaborations just to name a few.

Since there is no physical format and I rely on my own compilations, there are quite a few B-sides and rarities from the post-Format era.

Later Tonight
Shopping
I'm Not Scared
One And One Make Five
Electricity
Boy Strange
You Choose
Luna Park
Legacy
Breathing Space
Sad Robot World
Wedding In Berlin

I picked one song from most of their albums. I couldn't pick anything from Behaviour, Electric, or Nonetheless as there aren't any I don't listen to.

In fact, it's been so long since I listened to Boy Strange that I can't even remember it at all....
I'm here. You're there.

Can’t remember the last time I listened to Introspective. Not that it’s bad. It’s a masterpiece and played to death but I don’t think it’s physically been on my turntable or CDs player in about ten years

Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

This sometimes happens. I played It's a sin to death already in the 80's. I occasionally hear it on 80's radio stations or so and then I re-realise that it's a great song. The 12'' mix though, is still relevant to me, it's got more spunk.

Funny - I play Elysium fairly often, and the first two tracks you cite are the ones I skip, along with Ego Music.
