The Rough Guide Book of Playlists
The Rough Guide Book of Playlists | Mark Ellingham
3 posts
This second edition of the Rough Guide Book of Playlists contains more than 500 lists of which 50 are new to this edition. The lists are recommendations of ten songs (sometimes a couple more, sometimes a couple less), covering artists (Rufus Wainwright to Thelonius Monk, Al Green to Manu Chao, Glenn Gould to Julie Andrews), genres (Bebop Classics to Reggae Toasters to Punk Originals to Hot Club jazz), songs (10 best Dylan covers; 8 classic versions of Summertime; 10 love songs that don't cloy), quirks and silliness (Songs about Chickens and Insects; Who let the frogs out?; Big Pizza Pie crooners; Take this Job and Shove it!). There's even a literary edge with playlists like '10 songs raved about in Murakami novels'. Each of the Playlists has a nugget about the song (why you want it on your iPod), and a listings of where it's from (remember CDs?).

I listened to this ol' reliable playlist tonight while driving home. It's like comfort food music, all the songs I've loved for eons and can listen to over and over again. Then I realized it worked for #myfavoritethings. #musicalnewyear @cinfhen @vivastory

TiredLibrarian Love Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings; have seen them several times 🎵🎶💜 5y
vivastory I've been thinking of creating a similar list. I find myself listening to a handful of early 90s songs on YouTube every month or so. 5y
merelybookish @TiredLibrarian I've seen them a few times. They put on great shows! 5y
