My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

oh, yeah. i wasn't going to duplicate the 50s poll. my just reflects my recent interest in a particular type of moody, noir-ish, brooding, obsessive 50s/60s rock (and some rockabily, too).

but thanks -- i just subscribed to the ilm list.

btw my 80s/90s hip hop playlist is now 112 tracks, 8 hours! added: shante, the coup, smoothe da hustler, jt the bigga figga, biz, etc etc

really good stuff, thanks Daniel.

I've created a list based on Stephin Merritt's Millenium list of 100 recordings http://1930sblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/stephin-merritts-millenium-music-list.html

It's by no means complete, no 'Anthology of American Folk Music' for example. I only picked one track where he chose an album or symphony, but if you're keen you can explore from the links. I had a bit of leeway where he just listed a song with no artist, hence Harry Nillsson representing 1909. I managed to get most years http://open.spotify.com/user/unterwasser/playlist/2v581PFKgy1HgCioJIlHtc

Put together a playlist of power pop, or at least power pop-tinged, songs from the 2000s, one per artist: http://open.spotify.com/user/sp10000/playlist/2rqZNXQ4v1UInfdrR5rdMG

here's one I did. 50 live jazz recordings. kind of haphazardly assembled, but not a bad way to spend six hours.

I've done a few here: http://sharemyplaylists.com/members/stilesstilinski

Some inspired by ILM threads like the balearic one. Some are just jokes.

did one of just blaze productions tonight

^^^ 5hrs or so of electrohouse and minimal classics from 2004-2007 or so, put together in a sudden fit of raving nostalgia.

I have enjoyed your playlist. Keep on keeping on.

Here's a playlist I made some time back of everything released by Soundway Records on Spotify:

if there's anything i've missed (i try to make sure it's current) you can add it.

Great thread! Here's my only worthwhile contribution -- a King Tubby Playlist, assembled from suggestions on the Tubby and dub threads here. Made it collaborative in case anyone else finds anything worth adding.

An attempt at a history of the biggest tracks of electroclash/neo electro. Anything that should have been in there? (Apart from acts that are absent from Spotify, such as Green Velvet)?

Must be a licensing thing as I can see all of them.

Are you in the UK?

Yup.

Weird - they're all available for me in the UK. I guess you just have fewer than 111 tracks to enjoy then...

I'm in the States. Didn't realize there would be this many licensing discrepancies between the two.

I guess it's not that great a surprise that disco is prone to licensing tangles :(

nice one sean, thanks!

I did a playlist of some my favourite disco tunes too, it's 66 tracks and it doesn't overlap with Seandalai's.

awesome, you guys are kickstarting my disco love

I made a playlist of songs from 1994, very heavy on alt-rock and other stuff I was into at the time as a 15-year-old.

(Let me know if you can open it -- someone else couldn't, and I'm not sure if it's an issue on my end or theirs.)

Tuomas' disco mix = amazing

Will not open and I love 1994 alt rock.

nvm it finally opened. Sweet.

I use the "star" function a lot. I wish there were a similar option for songs you want to mark as "absolute poo". Something like the ratings system on itunes - you can avoid all of the "one star" tracks.

i dont really use spotify but that last playlist looks really good
