Your Perfect Linkin Park Mix CD

Linkin Park
#1

You have the near-impossible, but worth it, task of encapsulating your years and years of fandom onto an 80-minute-only blank CD!

What do you choose?? What gets eliminated? Does your mix tell a story? Is it all the all-time greats, or all your favorite live tracks? You decide! Make it your love letter to the band’s music. But you only have one CD!

Mine:

Act 1 (Intro): One Thing

1. Session
2. Keys to the Kingdom
3. In The End (Live from Melbourne, 2010)

Act 2: Comin At You From Every Style

4. Given Up
5. Sharp Edges
6. H! VLTG3 (Album Vocal)
7. Burn It Down (Radio Edit)
8. Waiting For The End (Non Rap Version)

Act 3: A Logical Progression

9. One Step Closer
10. Step Up/Nobody's Listening/It's Goin' Down (Live)
11. Bleed It Out
12. MY{DSMBR [Kelli Ali]
13. I'LL BE GONE (Vice Remix) [feat. Pusha T]
14. Wretches And Kings
15. Numb/Encore/Yesterday (Live from The Grammys, 2006)
16. In Pieces

Act 4: Your Guide Back Home

17. Faint
18. Guilty All The Same (Shortened Intro)

It fits and it’s in my car :wink:

Awesome mix btw

#4

A CD-R disc fits up to 80minutes, so around 20 songs, depending on the length

This is a great list.

Let me take some time to really think about this because it’s going to be hard to choose only a few songs when they had so many good ones

@rickvanmeijel The record must show your comment was not ignorant at all!.. Truth be told… I sort of cheated at my own game and ever so slightly shortened GATS by cutting out about 40 seconds of some of the more repetitive parts of the intro/outro (seamlessly I might add :sunglasses: ), but I promise the only way you would notice is if you literally memorized every single measure. And even then you can easily think of it as an alternative radio edit cuz their official “Radio Edit” cuts out Rakim and you just cant to that to the God of Rap.

The original draft of the CD didn’t have Faint, and my OCD, love for that song, and initial unintentional shafting of Meteroa forced my hand so… Yeah stuff like that is allowed! :smile:

@IronSoldier16 I confined mysely to Linkin Park only but if there are other artists you want to include, I got no beef with that

I am a fan of this technique as well, but there’s also something special about creating a fully realized, self-contained, physical, tangible, work that you and only you could have made, based on your collection of albums, demos, remixes, live performances, and whatever else you collect and/or tweaked along the way :slight_smile:

Very very true!! That’s why I still only but original CDs!! I keep two copies just incase. With two teenage daughters, in learned early that my CDs get ruined quickly
