Here's what shuffle play spat out at me

So a friend of mine published an iTunes shuffle play playlist on Facebook the other day. I told him that I couldn't publish a similar list because I have too many guilty pleasures on my iPod. He said that if I like a song, I have no reason to feel guilty about it. He may be right. So I thought about publishing a shuffle play playlist here, and here it is.

It's not very interesting. I like progressive rock, alternative or college rock, and classic rock most. And that's what's on the list. And no guilty pleasures, so publishing this was easy.

  2. I haven't heard of 80 to 90 percent of the stuff on your list! I agree with you though: whether something is a guilty pleasure or not is subjective. Thank you for the list. Maybe I can look up some of these on YouTube.
