Hi Everybody.
Well, we're at the top 3 on my Top 101 Mix Tape Rules countdown. "Mix tape rules" simply means that I limited myself to one song per band/artist.
Here are the recent selections:
25. the Smiths - Handsome Devil
24. John Lennon - Watching The Wheels
23. A.C. Newman - On The Table
22. The Roots - The Seed V. 2.0
21. Wilco - Theologians
20. Grandaddy - Chartsengrafs
19. the Folk Implosion - Natural One
18. the Decemberists - the Tain
17. Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out (Beatles Cover)
16. Tall Tales and the Silver Lining - Born Down By the Side
15. Belle and Sebastian - Simple Things
14. Dr. Dog - The Beach
13. the Pixies - Alec Eiffel
12. Dr. Octagon - Earth People
11. Elvis Costello - The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes
10. Elliott Smith - Condor Ave.
09. Simon and Garfunkel - The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine
08. Radiohead - Paranoid Android
07. Built to Spill - I Would Hurt A Fly
06. Paul Simon - The Obvious Child
05. Tom Waits - Please Call Me Baby
04. Pavement - Transport is Arranged
03. The Shins - Caring Is Creepy
02. Frank Black - (I Wanna Live On An) Abstract Plane
Well, this won't be shocking anybody, but what can I say? This song just does it for me. It makes me feel good. It has that great optimistic quality. I love the riff, I love the waltz transition. I love the song.
The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

So what do you think of the number 1 choice? What would be your number 1?
Man, that was pretty neat. Thanks a lot everybody for coming along with me on this, and all the really nice things said along the way. Thanks so much for playing along for these last couple months. I'm glad that people enjoyed it too.

Additional Details
Thanks a lot everybody. I really appreciate all of the kind words. This has been just a whole lot of fun and I'm really grateful that you guys came along with me. Funny thing is that if I rewrote the list today it would probably look very different.
For anyone who is interested. I've been swamped and unable to check out the first installment, but it looks like the good Captain is starting a new series that I'm excited to get into. I may also try to find a new angle or some new thing round about May after the tax season storm subsides. At any rate, I bet anything that the Captain comes up with will be awesome.
Thanks again everybody. All these nice things, and I can only really jump in and say a quick thanks for now, but really. Thanks.
Answer :
thanks for all the new music you have introduced me to i have really enjoyed your rundown what next how about a101 mixed tape rules of cover versions i think you could really get your teeth into that as for the number 1 selection yes spot on so long from a mixed tape rules fan long live prof anger pro tools
Answer :
hey prof
tune
thanks for all the wonderful noises you have showcased these last few months.
awesome doesn't even come close.
to paraphrase an expression i believe may be used occasionally in america - missing the mix already.
and thanks for the plug, i hope i don't disappoint.
Answer :
Great Beatles tune ! I guess Abbey Road is my favorite album of theirs along with Sgt Pepper and do like this song a lot though my favorite would have to be I Want You - it's just a really sexy song.
Have a cool weekend Prof
Answer :
Wonderful choice for number 1! And really great mix tape! Very cool and diverse!
Where can I find the full list though?
Right now, I would probably have Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) as number 1, but if I think about it, I might change my mind.
Answer :
Wow, its finally come to completion, congrats!!!
I hope to return to write a little "something" in honor of your epic undertaking
my number one is usually "God Only Knows" Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
Answer :
Such a beautiful, uplifting, life-affirming song.
The sun was rising behind me as I was driving into work today and I spontaneously began singing it :-)
And yeah... it was great seeing how many people guessed The Beatles yesterday ~lol~ your 'peeps' got you nailed, Prof! :-D
I can't believe it's been 3+ months ~ but it has! Wow. That a lot. And looking forward to what was coming next and discovering all the great stuff along the way... was just great. Thanks very much, Prof. You rock!
My number 1?? Dang. I don't know... will have to mull it over.
**edit**
Done mulling. I know, that was fast ;-)
Answer :
Nice. Despite all the correct guesses yesterday, you stuck with it. Coulda gone with something crazy and fooled everyone.
My #1? I'm not sure I could ever really do one of these. I've answered Shotgun Willie's 50 albums thing two years running and that is tough enough. Speaking of that album thing, where are the results? It's been like 2 months.

When you get to the raping part, I'm in Queens.
Answer :
Hi prof anger!
That is a perfect number one song from a number one band. Here Comes The Sun is an amazing song! My number one would be... hmm... I'm not sure. I guess since it would be a mix tape, I'd pick a random favorite song. I guess I'll go with "Wicked Garden" by Stone Temple Pilots.
I didn't answer many of these, but I did look at a lot of the ones you posted. I'd like to say you have an amazing and very unique taste in music, and that I hope you make another mix tape someday. Have a nice day, and weekend!
Answer :
Hey Prof!
Definitely one of the best Beatles songs. I've always liked this version better though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stqH8HAk7…
Anyways great song and for my #1 song you just couldn't expect anything less then The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony. I know in the last question I said I would choose "History" but looking back I realized I would have to hard of a time not including this song. I don't care what anyone else says about the stones or the like. I Just get an amazing vibe every time I listen to this song and I guess thats really what music is all about.

I'm looking forward to whatever countdown you hopefuly have in the woks for us. If you don't have one I'd highly suggest it. These people (ok me included) really value your musical opinon.
Answer :
hey Prof :)
i cant believe it's over :(
i like Here Comes the Sun alot, it's a good tune. For #1 I'd of put maybe Sludgefeast by Dinosaur Jr
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi1LrNtVl…
i enjoyed it alot, you should do another one some time!
have an awesome weekend!
Answer :
Hey Prof!
A great choice for # 1! One of the main songs that got me into The Beatles. As close to a perfect song as they come.
Really enjoyed the countdown. It was something really unique and seemed to bring out the best faces of R&P on a regular basis. We'll have to find something else to entertain ourselves with.
Answer :
Awesome job, Prof! I think it's a great tune to wrap things up with...ending things on a very happy note. It was a great countdown.
I have a few songs I would choose from when it comes to a number 1, but choosing between them would be tough. Don't know if I could do it!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Answer :
Hey Prof,
I'm not much of a Beatles person anymore but still I think that's a beautiful song. Number one for me would be "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop.
Thanks for doing this. It was interesting and alot of fun. You posted alot of stuff I love but haven't listened to in a long time. It was nice to revisit those songs. And you posted bands I've never listen to so thanks for bring them to my attention. Well done.
