My Desert Island CD


Yes, this fits on an 80-minute CD--the only other rule is no repeated groups/artists (though there can be overlap of group members, as you'll see). I would do My Desert Island mp3 rotation, but that would be a little longer.

1. Bad Religion - American Jesus
2. The Chieftains - O'Sullivan's March
3. Clutch - Open Up the Border
4. Cowboy Mouth - My Little Blue One
5. Doc Watson - Rising Sun Blues
6. Ellen Reid - Make You Mine
7. Fugazi - Waiting Room
8. Hawksley Workman - In Mexico
9. Husker Du - Never Talking to You Again
10. Lacuna Coil - Swamped
11. Liz Phair - Johnny Feelgood
12. The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Believe You
13. Nine Inch Nails - Wish
14. No Use For a Name - This Is a Rebel Song
15. A Perfect Circle - Three Libras
16. Public Enemy - Politics of the Sneaker Pimps
17. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Cabron
18. Soul Coughing - Circles
19. Steve Earle - Mercenary Song
20. System of a Down - Revenga
21. Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Counting Down the Hours
22. Tom Petty - Wildflowers
23. Tool - Forty Six & 2
