I'm going on holiday soon and normally I don't bother taking any music with me. I'm on the road driving for 4-6 hours a day so I get to listen to plenty of current music via either CD and the radio.
However, I am taking a newly purchased ipod away this time (if I can work out how it works !!) and I'm looking for ideas of some music which perhaps I haven't ever heard or something I haven't heard for ages. To give an example , I heard Vienna by Ultravox today in the gym and that has been added to the "must have" list.
So guys - what is on your must have list ?
(oh, if anyone has a cheap but legal way of uploading suggested tracks, I would appriecate your help)
Not an idea to download, but for ideas , ur round about(a little younger) my age, look on Magic, the music channel, always reminds me of loads of songs I like xj
thanks razor, is that a website? I'll check it out xxx
Acheap and very legal way of getting tracks to your pod is to borrow as many CD's from your friends as humanly possible lol....
If I'm ever stuck for a track though I just ask the nephews to download it for me... they always seem to know a way lol.. Bless em.
A great must have track is Sultans of Swing.. Dire Straights.. lol :lol:
Have fun

So guys - what is on your must have list ?
(oh, if anyone has a cheap but legal way of uploading suggested tracks, I would appriecate your help)

If you've got iTunes on your machine, which is a free download, then synching with your iPod is the easiest thing in the world, that's why it's so popular.
I thought I was the last person in the universe to get an iPod,. What took you so long hun? biggrin
Anyway in answer to your question, and just off the top of my head, I can think of two must have tracks;
New Order – Crystal
U2 – Vertigo
Now where did I put my Les Paul?
Just heard Monster munch on the radio!! lol
metallica 'one', i could hear that song 500 times a day and never get sick of it
Just thought of another one,
Red Hot Chillie Peppers – California
snow patrol - chasing cars
confused: thingymebob thing :?: - black velvet
anything that you know the moves to is never a good idea though
blimey.... I forgot:
she sells sanctuary; the cult

Some great recommendations from the previous posters.
Here's a few from the top 20 played tracks from my iTunes:
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
Map of the Problematique - Muse
Go - Moby
Love Story - Layo and Bushwacka
As The Rush Comes - Motorcycle
Club Foot - Kasabian
Karma Police - Radiohead
Long Hot Summer - Style Council

And for something completely different, Jeff Wayne's version of War of the Worlds. Richard Burton's rich voice is just awesome.

I have these album on my mp3 player ..... an absolute must have of music! Even our young kids play it!
