For the next 24 hours, everyone in the world, regardless of a language barrier, has to listen to whatever is on your playlist of no more than 15 songs on repeat no skip. What's on your music playlist?
How do you think the world would react to your selection?
"what's new pussycat" 14 times, with "it's not unusual" thrown in once to give them hope
“God DAMmit.”
Beat me to it. I scrolled back just to post this and... Here you are.
4'33" by John Cage repeated 15 times.
The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?
I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.
Ohh yeah, they make one noise and we start again, I want half an hour minimum of silence from everyone, maybe they might look inside themselves and find the good person they're hiding or I'll get to not listen to people talk. Win win.
This is it. The day has come. This is my chance to rickroll the entire world in one go.
Ooh! Ooh! Combine this with the John Cage! Play 4'33" fourteen times, then Astley for the 15th track.
What's New Pussycat on repeat, with an It's Not Unusual thrown in sporadically

Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears repeated 14 times, with 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton tossed in once somewhere in the middle.
I imagine they’d feel like they were babysitting their good friend who was blackout drunk but still conscious and who said that “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” was a song that never fails to calm them down. All the while, they’d occasionally remember the feeling that they were doing a good thing by making sure their friend didn’t choke on their own vomit that kept reappearing every hour or so.
I'll share my favourites for when I need to calm the fuck down:
Island In Video Cassette from the Serial Experiments Lain Cyberia soundtrack
Duvet - Boa
Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty
Trampoline - Shaed
Teardrop - Massive Attack
Bullets - Archive
Lean On - Major Lazer featuring MØ
Human - Rag'n'Bone Man
Brand New Day - Sting
Drop The Game - Flume
Come Talk to Me - Peter Gabriel
Temple of Love - any version, Sisters of Mercy
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley cover
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Mr E's Beautiful Blues - Eels
For maximum hair-tearing insufferableness?
Baby Shark x14
My Pal Foot Foot x1
There's a mall up in Montreal, Canada, playing babyshark on repeat in stairwells to prevent homeless people from staying there. So far it's been cruelly effective.
Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I'm sure that's how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.
You're a monster, but I think you knew that. ha
Tame Impala's Currents.
Congrats you have mental illness now.
Because I'm currently putting some effort to advance a story I'm working on and I have a playlist for miid setting, that would be it.
And it's mostly reggae, from the more classical to present day creation.
Reggaeton
15 different versions of Baby Shark that my daughter has on repeat.
I imagine the world would react negatively.
Ram Ranch in the top 15 languages of the world
Ram ranch, two trucks, alternating 7 times and then Alice’s restaurant once.
I believe this would result in a lot of mental breakdowns, and a newfound love of Arlo Guthrie.
Father rapers!
On the Group W bench!
Are these albums or songs of Arlo Guthery?
The last one is.
Oh my, it's melodeath day 🤘
I listen to prog, so it'd be a looong playlist
I'm all for it!
Give us a taste of what would be on your list.
A change of seasons by Dream Theater
Dream Theater-A Change of Seasons
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard-Crumbling Castle
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer-Karn Evil 9
Alan Parsons Project-Sirius/Eye in the Sky
Van Der Graff Generator-A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
The Mars Volta-Haunt of Roulette Dares
While generally not considered a "prog band", I'll include this one as a bonus just because I had it going through my head the entire time I was compiling this list: Deep Purple-Child In Time
Because I wouldn't want people to kill me after the 24 hours is over... I would go with the Pink Floyd album, Meddle, mostly for Echoes (six tracks). Then the Jean-Michel Jarre album, Oxygène (another six). Then some good trip-hop tracks for something to move to.
Maybe Supreme Beings of Leisure, Ghetto. Moloko, Fun for Me. Morcheeba, Blood Like Lemonade.
The album World Music Radio, by Jon Batiste
Don't know how they'd react, but here's the list I'd go with based on what I've been recently addicted to:
Escape Route by Free The Jester
Tongue Tied by Free The Jester
Shapeshifter by Nothing Shameful
Selkirk by Nothing Shameful
And probably one more to round it off:
Casulty by The Nixon Rodeo.
If people aren't a fan of small no-name bands, they might not like these talented groups and their songs, but I'm sure there are people out there who would absolutely love these indie(?) selections. I swear small no-name unrecognized bands have some of the best music.
Wait a minute. Is the lead vocals of Free The Jester the same Lead Singer of Not Green Day?
No clue. Would have to look it up, which I'm gonna do because you got me curious.
Edit:
From a quick search, definitely seems like they might be. Never heard of Not Green Day, though. Crazy stuff if it's true.
They'd think I came from an alternate universe. Video game soundtracks and some songs I made alongside some lostwave. The video game songs don't sound like they're from a game, and the rest are things they'd be unfamiliar with.
Probably the Book of Mormon original Broadway cast recording. But I'd have to cut out 1 song, that'd be difficult to choose which one.
Loneward / Hidden in Plain Sight
Jon Brooks / Descent
Robert Rich / Cave Paintings
Claudio Barria Casanueva / Distant Beacons
Tapes and Topographies / Devolve
Tom Heasley / Solitude
Jeff Greinke / Cirrus Currents
Nimanty / Galactic Highway

I think we could all chill
i only need 1: Raining Tacos by Perry Gripp.
Allan Holdsworth
My playlist will be the album Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. In fact, maybe I'll just select my three favorites from that album, Ella Guru, Frownland, and Veterans' Day Poppy, and repeat them five times.
I'm in the mood to fuckin' piss some people off.

I'd love it but be annoyed that you didn't go for the whole thing, start to finish.

Do you want to die?
Merzbow - Pulse Demon
