This exercise will be messed up by:

1. The fact that the iPod software seems to list punctuation before spaces. So for me the first B song listed is B-Boy Bouillabaise by the Beastie Boys, but I would argue that it should be B + A by the Beta Band.

2. Whether or not people have included punctuation in their song titles. If they have then "P.S. I Love You" would be listed earlier than if they haven't ("PS I Love You").

My badly-labelled shambles of an i-tunes doesn't seem to have anything beginning with X or Z.
Quite a nice list. Though it's weird to be surprised that you quite like the music you've opted to bung into your i-tunes. Might burn it onto a disc called Alphabetti Spaghetti. That Rare Earth track's a drag though. Seventeen bloody minutes. Shouldn't be allowed. Loyalty to Norman Whitfield severely tested.

Forgotten all about this song. Got it somewhere. Must track it down and bung it in. It's a beaut.

B-Flat Waltz by Brad Mehldau
C'Est Si Bon by Louis Armstrong
D.J. by David Bowie
E cosi, a poco a poco by Monteverdi
The Face I Love by Astrud Gilberto
G. F. Handel ...[really Gabriel's Oboe by Morricone]
Hafsol by Sigur Ros
I'll be around by Billie Holiday
J. Pachelbel ... [really Jack-a-Roe by the Dead]
K488 ... [really Kalon Intanvenz by Skolvan]
L'Amor by Arianna Savall
Macarthur Park by Donna Summer (followed by Harris and Webb versions)
Nachna Onda Nei by Tigerstyle
O Bone Jesu by James McMillan
Pachelbel again ...[really Pacific 707 by 808 State]

R. Strauss ... [really The Race is On by the Dead again]

Tainted Love by Soft Cell
Un Air Si Doux by La Bottine Souriante
V'Adoro Puille by Handel
Waft Her Angels through the Skies by Handel again
X. Recitatif "Ecco a Morte Gia Corro" ... the Hallelujah hitmaker again [*]
Y'Outta praise him by Robert Glasper
Ziggy Stardust

So it seems the answer, as we could have guessed, is David Bowie ...

[* the only X in the list for me]

for a while. If we all picked a single track that we all had-and then did a Genius playlist from it, how common would the 25 tracks be across the ensemble ?

Presumes there *is* a track that everybody, but everybody, has ...

Normally I'm pretty good at recognising all/most of the songs that come up on this random/list things. But I've got to admit that I'm struggling to recall what about a third of these sound like.

A downright odd playlist this creates and no mistake. Good to see Half Man Half Biscuit featured more than once on others playlists.

If I list all my tracks alphabetically in iTunes, as I get to the end of the Ds and move into the Es it goes:

Dying Days - Screaming Trees
Dying Slowly - Tindersticks
A & E - Goldfrapp
E-Musik - Neu!
E-Type - Tindersticks

Yet if I type the Goldfrapp title as "A&E", leaving out the spaces, it takes its rightful place between Vampire Weekend's A-Punk and (A) Touch Sensitive by the Super Furries. When I add the spaces back in the track returns to the previous place.

Eh?

I decided to include a number song after Z just so my list doesn't end on a bum note. Though I have to say considering some of the dross on my ipod I did quite well to get to Z before a real cheesemonger reared its head.

I was pleased when Bowie and The Pixies cropped up as I was starting to wonder if I had any of my favourite acts on the blooming Ipod...

I upgraded form a 8G to a 16G ipod last autumn and it would seem that i have loaded a lot of 70's tunes on in prefernce of later tunes but hey ho it's not a bad list for me. A good thread as it's made me think of adding songs randomly now to see what comes off my itunes collection on the pc.

Think that bands will start releasing songs with lots of punctuation in the title just so they can appear on lists like these? Cheap publicity isn't it?

I was enjoying compiling my list. I was thinking that I'd come over all cool with a vaired mix of genres.

Then up pops Hammer, AAAARRRGGGGHHHH! Its my wife's album I promise!!
