Mind I don't know if this will all fit, but I think I'll give it a shot tonight. My guess is I'll have to do some craetive editing on 10 and 11.

zebedee, I never finished updating it no.

And if you're listing more than 15 tracks then try and list the duration, for clarity.

Geir, 15 for reasons stated in original post. If there's room left on the CD after 15 you add more until it's full. If you can't be bothered to work out the duration then leave it at 15. Easy.

1) The Other Jesus
2) Duel
3) Sci-Flyer
4) 99th Dream
5) Harry & Maggie
6) Cars Converge on Paris
7) The Birds
8) Rave Down
9) Last Train To Satansville
10) Ejector Seat Reservation
11) Neon Lights Glow
12) Blowin' Cool
13) Maelstrom
14) Duress
15) These Times

NOTE: no single-length version nonsense; full-on album-length (or B-side / outtake length) glory only; I really wanted to end w/ "Never Lose That Feeling / Never Learn", but darn those time restrictions.

Very tough, wanted something from every album, naturally others would have a different list bar as little as five or six of the absolute essentials, and these aren't my personal 15 favourite Orbital tracks by any means.

broken it all right down...some tweaks needed and still have to add some of the second thread and this new one...

haven't checked how well this fits on to a disc, but it is 15 tracks. not exactly THE most definitive tracks, but i think it gives a solid overview to the directions "emo" headed throughout the decade, especially the second half.

Yes, I know I left off all of L.A. and D.C. hardcore, not to mention Minneapolis, not to mention Australia and New Zealand, not to mention Pushin' Too Hard Wild Thing Gloria Wooly Bully Strychnine Hanky Panky Hey Joe Talk Talk You're Gonna Miss Me We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet I'm Eighteen She Cracked Smokin' in the Boys' Room Cherry Bomb Blank Generation Little Johnny Jewel Blitzkrieg Bop X Offender Chinese Rocks Life During Wartime Hotwire My Heart New Rose No One One Chord Wonders Right to Work Nobody's Scared Homicide Orphans Bangkok Alternative Ulster Life After Life Typical Girls Breakdown Damaged Goods Fairytale in the Supermarket She's Lost Control 52 Girls Ace of Spades Watch Your Step Sex Bomb 18 and Life Come Out and Play Fuck and Run Loser Cannonball Dress My Generation Blank Generation Your Generation Stepping Stone (Monkees) Stepping Stone (Sex Pistols) Stepping Stone (S.O.A.) 12XU (Wire) 12XU (Minor Threat) Louie Louie (Kingsmen) Louie Louie (Black Flag) I'm Not Like Everybody Else (Kinks) I'm Not Like Everybody Else (Chocolate Watch Band) I'm Not Like Everybody Else (Nomads) etc. etc. etc. But you know, I think the stuff I've got is better and it's MORE PUNK. Actually, what I'm really unhappy about is leaving off stuff like the Jefferson Airplane's "House at Pooneil Corner" and the Animals "It's My Life" and Slade's "Cum On Feel the Noize," all of which I arbitrarily disqualified (along with "Get Off of My Cloud" and "The Real Slim Shady" and "Dirty Diana" and "Fight for Your Right to Party"), and Bob Seger's "2 + 2 = ?" Flipper's "Get Away," Patti Smith's "Piss Factory," and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," the four of which barely missed the cut, and the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray," which is too long (to fit on the CD, that is).

[Unfortunately, some of these tracks I have only on vinyl and cassette.]

Blinding Headache "Thirteen"
Information "Tempted"
Mofungo "El Salvador"
V-Effect "Must Go"
The Scene Is Now "Finding Someone"
Red Dark Sweet "Di Conti"
Red Dark Sweet "Highway 51 Parts 1 and 2"
The Pillowmakers "12 Varieties of Worms"
Sonic Youth "(She's in a) Bad Mood"
Leslie Singer "Boy Shoots Mom"
Mofungo "Frederick Douglass"
The Scene Is Now "Kid Ory's Nightmare"
Pussy Galore "Kill Yourself"
Your Mom Too "My Couch"
Sonic Youth "Kotten Krown"
Pussy Galore "Sweet Little Hi-Fi"

These'd probably fit no problem, though I didn't bother to time them, given that I have 0 of them in bytes, making this CD hypothetical. (As a matter of fact, some were never released, some were eaten by my tape player, etc.) Also, if I'd dug out my Bump tape I might have added something by them, or by Live Skull or some other bands who've slipped my mind.

er, leaving alone the mistake in the album title: that album sounds quite urban (as is her identity in general, what with the whole paris/new york/tel aviv circuit) and not in the least psychedelic. In fact I wonder what "pastoral" is supposed to mean here. Could you explain?

Sheryl Crow "The Difficult Kind"
Britney Spears "Toxic"

The Beatles "Girl"
The Modern Lovers "Hospital"
The Rolling Stones "19th Nervous Breakdown"
Spoonie Gee "Street Girl"
Buzzcocks "Ever Fallen In Love"
The Offspring "Self-Esteem"

One could argue that Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "You Really Got a Hold On Me" has priority over the Beatles', but I say the latter sounds more codependent.

(Someone with more knowledge than I should do a guide to co-dependent c&w relationships.)

If someone can help me out, I'd gladly cough up a Rough Guide to 90s Cancon.

Heh heh...I confess that I can't really tell the difference! I'm actually pretty ignorant about that sorta thing & was just bluffing - in fact I'll bet that one or more of my choices ARE I-vi-ii-V. But they all feel like the doo-wop change to me, so whatever. Kinda like that Justice Potter Stewart "I know obscenity when I see it" thing.

("Teen confessional rock" doesn't mean everything is confessional, just that it's by performers who are sort of in that area, or sound like someone else who is. I cut out "Vacation" and "Survivor" and "Leave (Get Out)" and Tik N' Tak's "Don't Turn Back" for not belonging to teen confessional, and Marit Larsen's "Only a Fool" for being too far in the other direction - i.e., she's now singer-songwriter confessional along with the Toris and Fionas and Tunstalls. And I left off some great stuff, e.g., "Get the Party Started" and "Sk8er Boi" and "First," obviously, and (unobviously, but it's great) Lucy Woodward's "Is This Hollywood?" Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch are subjects for further research. So is Ashley Parker Angel, I guess, though his single isn't hitting me. Anyway, if you know Brits and boys who belong, let me know. (Not that I'll revise this, but I'd like to know for my pleasure and edification. The boys just don't seem to be getting across.)

Can someone do a rough guide to Severed Heads? and utah saints.

lol utah saints!

Severed Heads, yes. Utah Saints, not so much.

I have Sev Heads playlists on iTunes at home. I thought I already did one for here? Oh well, will do it again later.

O I'd really like a Severed Heads RG. I love how d'iPod throws in Joakim's edit of "Dead Eyes Open" on so many shuffle occasions. Works really well on a sunny day in a car with the window down...

okay. i didn't do a search, but i'll look through. otherwise, that would be great. thanks.
aha, yeah, among other things I heard "lost vagueness" today.

Needs "If You Were The Only Girl In The World" (flexi version)!

What is that? I used to like the song but the version on the single is pretty weak. Ditto for "Brainwash" aka "Spilt Milk"

It's from a flexi that came with a fanzine, it was a split with The Legend!, which I have somewhere but can't find it at the moment.

Never heard it but would love to.

It's been said before but it's too bad they didn't record and properly release songs like "All Because Of You", "Spilt Milk", "If You Were The Only Girl In The World" etc on a pre-This Is Our Art album. Would have been killer. As it is, they never released a good album.

my sev heads rg is a bit different than that.

I eagerly await the Utah Saints comp on Soul Jazz

I would do a Utah Saints one but I only know the singles.

This was my Severed Heads CD, from only 5 CDs, and I don't think I ever sequenced it. This definitely leans towards the poppier side. There's some stuff that I like from Clifford Darling that I didn't have files for, and I never got into Bad Mood Guy. There's nothing newer than Cuisine on here.

Yeah, but the women are at 'ome, doing the washin' up like. They might pop down the pub for a swift bacardi later, innit.

I don't think anyone ever made one for Bill Laswell. If someone would do that, I'd be grateful.

A shame none of the links work on that base58 page.

It's funny, I was looking a these Rough Guides just this morning. The ilxor.com links work but the ilx.wh3rd.net links don't. Is there a way of fixing it?

yes, very simply - i just keep forgetting to do it. hold tight.

think i can only get them to link to the threads they're on because thread/post IDs have changed in nu-ilx. so just do CTRL+F to find what you're after once you've clicked a link and it's brought up the thread that guide is on.

http://www.base58.com/ilx/ilm/ilmroughguide.html

Do these still work? The links seem to be broked.

Nah, ILX code doesn't work that way. It'd be great if someone re-did this page tho.

It'd be a hard job to 'global replace' this,

e.g. the old link

http://www.ilxor.com/thread.php?showall=true&msgid=4188963#4203124

now becomes

The Rough Guide Two...

So, there's no similar numbers...

Victoria: The Kinks, The Fall, The Kooks. oh wait..

oops. Can you see what I did?

Went back too many pages.

Request to the dance cognoscenti:

I've a vague idea of what Balearic is (aside from an ILX in-joke on the front page) from the much lauded Aeroplane & Studio: Laid-back, moderate tempo synth-disco (I hesitate to use the term electro). And I like it. But as far as I know there's no convenient summation & pointer amongst the Rough Guides for Balearic. Any takers on this genre defining exercise?

there's always this for the original stuff

and for the nu stuff the Fred Deakin mix comp is probably as good as anything

awesome Ole spent a couple of hours fixing all the links so the index is updated and now at: http://base58.com/music/roughguide/

re unlinked artists, seems their guides are missing so they could be redone hint hint... new submissions also welcome

Nice one!

Here's an RG to ivor cutler:

Can someone do a Rough Guide to turn of the century (19th to 20th) popular music?

He spent "a couple of hours" ??

(nice work!!)

Noriced there wasn't an XTC entry so here goes.

Science Friction
Battery Brides (Andy Paints Brian)
Complicated Game
No Language In Our Lungs

Senses Working Overtime
Ball And Chain
Me And The Wind
Seagulls Screaming 'Kiss Her, Kiss Her'
Red Brick Dream
Summer's Cauldron
Earn Enough For Us
Chalkhills And Children
Wrapped In Grey
Harvest Festival

This was so amazing when the thread was first put forward. Ha! I see my Caricoa Funk selection is still there!

Could probably do with a DFA Rough Guide / James Muprhy Rough Guide.

If someone can be so kind as doing me a Dial Records Hamburg guide, that help me immensely

re new submissions the ones on this thread aren't linked on base58.com...

*fires Ole*

So cool.

will update the page with all missing guides, promise

He spent "a couple of hours" ??

Luckily the old dead links included message numbers corresponding to their order in the threads, so yeah, it was pretty painless -- sort them by msg#, replace with current urls, unsort to original order. Glad you like it!

I did.

I admit I was tempted a while back to see if there was an easy "replace this with that" global search/replace way to do this, but quit.

So, cheers..

just updated the page to include everything on this page

Um. Chuck.

I'm not debating that that's a great tracklist, but MUST you advertise it like that? >:-(

no Sopho mike? :( ;)

Blame The Lex, Kate (if you're in a blaming mood), he made me giggle and the name sorta stuck. I'd hope it's obviously ironic, being that the songs within are 185627656623x better than anything yet produced by the people they spawned.

(Incidentally, the full original twice-the-length Spotify list had several boy tracks but they all necessarily got lost in the cut.)

i didn't realise it would actually be good - "in their dreams" strikes me as a more appropriate title - but tbh i really don't like the idea of a comp w/those artists having anything to do with...the ones you cite in the title. those bitches need to stay away.

xpost: Sopho nearly made the final cut!
