    So, where in St. Louis?

    Gonna find out what kind of music POPulates the ol’ external harddrive under the “Pop” genre:

    “One Way Street” – Go West, Aces and Kings: The Best of Go West

    “Ocean Breeze” – Pablo Cruise, Pablo Cruise

    “Heart of the Matter” – Jon Anderson, Song of Seven

    “Into the Wild” – Icehouse, Measure for Measure

    Doubled up some – you can tell my pop selections are more limited. Love “Kings is Dead” – great lounge lizard feel to it.

    Giving the Sountracks genre a whirl again…

    "Reflections of Earth" – Disney, Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration

    "Creation of Tron" – Wendy Carlos, Tron

    "The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring

    "The Unsung War" – Keiko Kobayashi, ACE COMBAT 5: The Unsung War

    "Vespertillo" – Hans Zimmer, Batman Begins

    "Love's Dream" – Rick Wakeman, Lisztomania

    "Kaonashi (No Face)" – Joe Hisaishi, Spirited Away

    "Kids Return" – Joe Hisaishi, Kids Return

    "Dream" – Brad Mehldau, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

    "National Treasure Suite" – Trevor Rabin, National Treasure

    trivia: Many don't realize this, but since video games can earn as much as (or more than) a mainstream movie, many of their soundtracks are as outstanding as their movie counterparts.

    "The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring:

    I have an unhealthy love of the Offspring. I know they have passed their prime (probably a while ago) and almost all their stuff sounds almost the same, but dammit, theirs was the first CD I owned and the album that got me into the rock/alternative genre that still dominates my playlists. That's my explanation for my completist approach to the Offspring discography. Unsurprisingly given all that – I like 'Million Miles Away'.

    Peephole – System of a Down – (self-titled)
    You Make Me Feel Like a Whore – Everclear – Sparkle and Fade
    Over and Out – Foo Fighters – In Your Honor
    I’m Designer – Queens of the Stone Age – Era Vulgaris
    South Bound Saurez – Led Zeppelin – In Through the Out Door
    Till the Morning Comes – Neil Young – After the Gold Rush
    Shame – System of a Down & Wu-Tang Clan – Loud Rocks
    No. 13 Baby – Pixies – Doolittle
    Good Times, Bad Times – Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin I
    Far Pavilions – … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – The Century of Self

    And I've got a couple Zeppelin tracks to tie in with yours.

      Nice.

      I still listen to Americana all the way through a couple of times a month. They're definitely past their prime, but am a sucker for whatever they produce.
