Subject: My "Desert Island" songs... yes, I'm just that geeky
Written By: ChuckyG on 06/08/09 at 2:18 pm
I've been tracking everything I play at work and home with LastFM and using the "loved" button to track the really good stuff. I then wrote a couple scripts to save that list off of LastFM, and to copy the tracks out of my mp3 collection into a special "loved" folder. After all that effort it almost seemed trivial to crank out a list for my web page, so here it is...
Desert Island Songs
It's by no means complete, there's a lot of stuff in my collection that I know I like that I haven't played in a long time.
I'm thinking of adding my personal comments to each song next... but then again, probably won't get around to it.

Lost Boys soundtrack is the only thing I know them for... listened to that album for the first time in ages today, I love the whole thing quite a bit, which is rare for a soundtrack.

Same here. I think that was the only thing they were known for. Their self-titled album from 1986 wasn't bad, but it didn't really go anywhere, which makes it surprising how they landed a song on 'The Lost Boys'

well it was the same year as the movie... I'm guessing it was the label trying to push a newly signed band

the "Listen Like Thieves" and "Kick" albums are like almost pure gold, the tracks are all just perfect. The video for "Never Tear Us Apart" is really well done as well.

I did more work on it today. I changed the layout and added in pictures and some text for some of the songs.

They were some of the better 80's albums.
And "Never tear us apart" is a good video
