First, put your playlist on shuffle. Second, post the first lines for the first 20 songs to come up (along with these instructions). Third, have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post. Fourth, in a few days the answers will be posted ( Read more... )

I find that whenever Adam posts these things, the only ones I know are the ones that are easy for half the rest of his friends list as well. Ah well.

I'm horrible at rememering names, so even if I recognize the words, I couldn't say what it is.

I definately recognize #11

9. Something by Counting Crows
12. I Spy, Guster
19 tickles my brain but I don't know.

You're correct about 9 but I'm not going to strike it until someone gets the title. I Spy is correct, and the astute observer will note that it is the live version by the minor lyric variation.

Wow, that's tough! The "They Might Be Giants" song is the easies0.
t, although 1, 11, and 19 sound familiar. I may cheat and look those up in Google. :-) I would be extremely surprised if I know any of the others. X-)

I should probably know 19 since I like that composer a lot. So much music, so little time!

knemesis March 1 2006, 09:00:11 UTC

I know none of these. Should i know any of these?

Either way, i find the fact that these first lines came completely random kind of interesting because they almost tell a story. Do you see it, too?

madmanatw March 1 2006, 20:43:58 UTC

Huh, you're kinda right. That's pretty cool.

I'm not sure you would know any of these. :)

summer_jackel March 1 2006, 17:51:33 UTC

the only one I got is 17, TMBG, Birdhouse, but oh how I WANT to know 3 (ye gods, the imagery....whimper) 18 and 8.

madmanatw March 1 2006, 20:44:43 UTC

18 was guessed above, so at least you know what it is now. And I wouldn't be surprised if you do know 18 or 8 and just don't realize it... :)
