Perfect 15-song cd list

Hey ya!

I think this topic is pretty self-explaining, just post 15 songs you think would form the perfect cd (to your knowledge). I got the idea from someone in the "What are you listening now" thread. Please explain your choice of songs too.

1. Big Gipp - Intro (I know the pain) ---> It's got great lyrics, and it's the best intro I know of (it's a 'real' song btw.)
2. Sleepy Brown & Big Gipp - Can't give it up ---> Sucks this isn't gonna be on his cd It would definately be on my perfect cd.
3. OutKast ft. Goodie Mob - Git up, Git Out ---> I think OutKast is one of the best rap groups, and this is their best song.
4. Cool Breeze ft. OutKast, Witchdoctor and Goodie Mob - Watch for the hook ---> Insanely energetic and fast paced.
5. Dungeon Family - Rollin' ---> Can't make a Dungeon Family cd without this song.
6. Cee-Lo - Live (right now) ---> This shows how great an artist Cee-Lo really is.
7. Goodie Mob - Cell Therapy ---> One of the best songs of the Goodie Mob (and I love all their songs)
8. Dungeon Family - 6 minutes ---> The most complete DF song (with most people on it), and it's very nice.
9. Khujo & Big Gipp - Like This ---> Because it's very good and it so damn hard to find.
10. OutKast - Mighty O ---> Addicted to this, their newest song.
11. Cee-Lo - Gettin' Grown ---> Same reason as 6.
12. Backbone - Five Deuce, Four Tre ---> The best song with Backbone on it I know of.
13. OutKast, Sleepy Brown, Big Rube ---> 2 very talented rappers + 2 very talented singers (of whom 1 is also a very good rapper)
14. Khujo & Lil' Will - Zone III ---> Always makes me wanna sing along.
15. Dungeon Family - What iz rap? ---> Big Rube + Witchdoctor = very good music

I have made this list in quite a hurry, so I might have forgotten a song or explaination. As far as I've seen it's got EVERY Dungeon Family first generation member on it. I think that would make it kinda special, because songs with Lil' Will are damn hard to find. I didn't choose all songs I think 'the best' (because that's very mood-dependent for me), and with this cd I would like to show how diverse the Dungeon Family.

And what would you put on the perfect cd?

3. Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
4. A Day in the Life - The Beatles
5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles

That's why I'm not even going to attempt this thread.

Is that because you're the fool on the hill?

1. A Day In The Life
2. In My Life
3. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4. Real Love
5. Something
6. All Things Must Pass
7. I Want You (She's So Heavy)
8. Getting Better
9. Hey Jude
10. Across The Universe
11. The Inner Light
12. The End
13. Strawberry Fields Forever
14. Free As A Bird
15. And Your Bird Can Sing

I designed this playlist so that different styles of playing can be heard throughout it, as opposed to a central theme. Oh, and those songs should be played in that order, mainly because it will go from upbeat music to slowed down music to 'tap your feet' music to slow, mostly love music to a grand ending by the Beatles. (I couldn't find a better description for #9 & #10, so 'tap your feet' is best )

I don't suppose you considered just putting the Sgt. Pepper's album in the list?

Actually, no I didn't. As popular and groundbreaking as that album is, it's not my favorite nor does it have many songs that I like. All in all it sounds great together (like Abbey Road and the continuous songs), though, but I wanted to have some "variety" in my listing.

1) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns and Roses (really this is the ultimate opener)
2) Soma - The Smashing Pumpkins
3) Slither - Velvet Revolver
4) Black - Pearl Jam
5) No-One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age
6) Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
7) Duality - Slipknot
8) White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
9) 4th of July - Soundgarden
10) Breathe - The Prodigy
11) Low - Foo Fighters
12) Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
13) Tribute - Tenacious D
14) MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
15) Silver**** - The Smashing Pumpkins (Live) (Any good Pumpkins fan will recognise the relevance of having this last)
