The first twenty songs played on my new iPod when I hit shuffle for the first time.

No OutKast = disappointing.

(I'm now somewhere in the 30s and it still hasn't played any OutKast.)

Harlem

Talking Heads over Blue Nile, by a hair

I guess I'll vote Grass even though not having the segue makes it only like, half as good

I honestly didn't even know that they still sold iPods

Voted Janet

yeah people at work (when I used to go to work) made fun of me for still having one. even like, in 2015 I got "whoa, you still have one of those?" a lot

The Downtown Lights tops it for me, both artist and track. If Bill's track was "Ain't No Sunshine", tougher choice.

I love my iPod. Helps drown out distractions at work, and masked, I can't be seen mouthing along to some of the songs. And ha, I get the same surprised reaction, though it's disguised by a Brian Despain skin.

I dislike using my phone as my digital music player, because the multitasking it requires is not worth the effort. And I mostly use the iPod for listening while driving, so it's way better for that context. But I also like being able to select a specific style or playlist and just shuffle in that for a while and you just can't do that with streaming services.

I'm probably going to vote Bill Withers, even though that Kendrick is very enticing this morning for some reason (full disclosure: I actually went backwards and listened to it thrice before moving on to Maxwell).

downtown lights is gonna walk this. not like the beatles are ever an underdog but "i'm only sleeping" is one of my fav ever songs by them, so there we go.

Will rep for half of these, excellent taste, Austin.

Did you look into other DAPs other than an iPod? There are really powerful options from Fiio, Shanling and others that are priced similarly and offer way more features.

I did not, and it's too late now lol

"someday is tonight"

"waking the witch" is so great too agh

Ended up going with my gut and voted Kendrick. Such an amazingly poignant but feel good recording.

This is ilx. the blue nile will walk with this

"Which David Axelrod?" was the question for me. "Big B Plus" methinks...

The Beatles — "I'm Only Sleeping", because I was thinking about that song this morning.
