Board 8 > You're allowed TEN SONGS to listen to for the rest of your life.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm sure people want stipulations, so here goes: if you're out and about (club, bar, concert), you can still listen to the music that the world bestows upon you. But when you have the option to actually select music to listen to (either alone or with others), it can ONLY be from the ten songs you post. For the rest of your life.

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Linkin Park - In the End
---

I thought for sure some variant of the Legend of Zelda theme would be on your list.
---

Heh, my too at first! I played this game with my gf and roommate last night, and I decided not to throw game stuff on there because it's not really as "stand-alone good" good, if that makes sense. Same with Disney songs.

I mean in general this is true, but there are absolutely some exceptions to this rule.
---

I would generally only agree with that sentiment when talking about middling game music

The high end stuff stands alone either way

Not that I'd necessarily put it on a list but I'd take The Legend of Zelda theme over most of that list in the op (and keep in mind I actually like all those songs)

The Knack - My Sharona
Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good
Talking Heads - And She Was

---

Would this mean that when I played a game, I wouldn't hear anything?
---

I wouldn't pick any; anything I'd pick I would inevitably get sick of and wind up resenting the whole process even more, so I'd just cut myself off from music entirely.
---

what if I want to play rhythm games
---

I'll make 10 songs myself thankyou much.
---

Also, how does the radio fit into this?
