gothams3rdrobinPut your music player on shuffle. Write down the first line from the first 30 songs and have your friends list guess them.
Ok, my software doesn't allow for a shuffle, it just picks a track at random when it goes to play them. So, I checked out my automatically-generated playlists, and the one for 'tracks listened to at weekends' has twenty-eight items. So I'm going with that. Some of the songs had the titles in the first line, so for the most part I avoided them. Hence why there's only twenty-four items.
1. "Six o'clock in the morning, wipe the sleep from my eyes. Felt just like an ordinary day."
2. "Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom. Well who am I to keep you down?" - Dreams by Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac/The Corrs - guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

And there's nothing wrong with the Rainbow track - even if it was actually Brian May's cover. *chuckles*

Date: 2006-05-07 06:29 am (UTC)Yep, that's Billy Joel - had to check the lyrics online for that one *grin* There should be at least one more you'd recognise - I've always been more into eighties pop-music than anything that came later.
Several of the other tracks are by the same artists, but I think people might need to know UK music to recognise them.
