The endless music chain!

aardvarkash10 · 19th November 2010, 04:33 AM

An offshoot of the 15 Song Album thread, we have the endless music chain.

It goes like this.

The following song has to use any word of the preceding song title in its title. Artist is irrelevant.

Example:

Angel of Harlem - U2
Harlem Shuffle - Rolling Stones
Harlem River Blues - JT Earle
River of Dreams - Billy Joel

etc, etc, etc

There is no end!

Starting Shot:

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 (plenty of words to choose from!)

just thought of the same thing 2yrs late

Actually I was stealing it from the well known (UK anyway) Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie feature "The Chain" from their BBC 6 Music show described (wikipedia quote) as a 'never-ending list of records, with every new track somehow connected to the last.' Three songs are played each show for this item and listeners are encouraged to contact the show with another song that links to the previous one. The connection can be anything, ranging from the very obvious to the very obscure.

Here is a list of the 2754 tracks so far List of Radcliffe and Maconie's Chain Tracks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a list of the first 1327 tracks and their connections Radcliffe and Maconie's list of conjoined recordage called The Chain.

What do you chaps think? Are you up for it?

Great for jumping straight on it chaps.

Just thinking about the concept for a minute...

I reckon it would be more interesting if we chose our track for more interesting reasons than a title word every time. Reason being is we could list our track, and the connection. It might be they recorded with that artist, shared a birthday, major word from title............the list is endless. The upshot is that we could all learn some great trivia and the list wont grow at a crazy rate.

Posts could maybe be: track name - artist - link to previous track

Maybe only copy and paste the track before and its details then our track, artist & link. That way the posts wont have hundreds of tracks & details

Is that all to complicated?
