The Essential: NAPcast 2.10

For this one, I asked our editors to submit songs we would play if we were DJs on a classic rock / AOR station. In particular, I was thinking about what kind of tracklist we would have generated if it was our job to program this compilation: http://lala.com/zJPTI

Houston Press writer Craig Hlavaty linked to this comp on his Twitter the other day, and while I’m not stoked about all the choices, I was pretty intrigued at the question: what would we offer as “essential” rock tracks? This podcast, our second of the year, is your answer. Tracklist:

  1. 13th Floor Elevators – “You’re Gonna Miss Me” | Roberto
  2. Neil Young And Crazy Horse – “Cinnamon Girl” | Ghost of the Machine
  3. Neil Young and Crazy Horse – “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” | Annie
  4. The Small Faces – Itchycoo Park | Justin
  5. The Velvet Underground – Beginning To See The Light | Roberto
  6. Beck – “Where it’s At” | mrshl
  7. The Kinks – “All Day And All Of The Night” | Ghost of the Machine
  8. Donovan – “Season of the Witch” | Roberto
  9. 13th Floor Elevators – “Reverberation” | Justin
  10. The Jimi Hendrix Experience – “Spanish Castle Magic” | Ghost of the Machine
  11. Popchor Berlin – “How Soon Is Now” (The Smiths) | Found in the Alley
  12. Fleetwood Mac – “Dreams” | mrshl
  13. Van Halen – “Jump” | mrshl
  14. The Zombies – “Time Of The Season” | Justin
  15. Radiohead – “High And Dry” | Annie

  • man, i wish you guys were djs at our local classic rock station. yay for not a single Elton John or Boston.

  • Charlie Naked

    No CCR? What’s up with that?

    Actually CCR is usually my go-to example when complaining about the crappy choices “classic rock” radio stations typically make. Those guys have like at least four albums worth of perfectly amazing rock, every song a winner, and yet all you ever hear are the same three or four songs over and over again.

    So yeah, if I were to contribute, I’d add in either “Born on the Bayou”, “Ramble Tamble”, or “Night Time is the Right Time”.

  • I almost submitted some CCR, but couldn’t make up my mind which one to send.
