After getting home from a night out, we decided to have a ‘music evening’.

After a few songs (on the iPod) the missus played AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night Long, and then said that we have to choose the next song from a band in alphabetical order, so I had B, she had C etc... Here’s the list of the songs we played.

It was an interesting exercise – I have close to 130GB of songs so while there is far more obscure stuff possible, we went for stuff that was easy for the night.

AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night Long
Boston – More Than a Feeling
Crosby Stills & Nash – Wooden Ships
David Bowie – Rebel Rebel
Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians – What I Am
Fotheringay – The Way I Feel
George Michael – Father Figure
Hermans Hermits – No Milk Today
Incubus – Warning
Jane’s Addiction – Just Because
Kelly Clarkson – Miss Independence
Led Zeppelin – Ramble On
Mark Owen – Four Minute Warning
No Doubt – It’s My Life
Oasis – Supersonic
The Police – Roxanne
Queen – I want It All
Ram Jam – Black Betty
Santana – Black Magic Woman
The Trees – Murdoch
U2 – Still Haven’t Found what I’m Looking For (live)
The Vapours – Turning Japanese
The Who – Sparks
XTC – Senses Working Overtime
Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart
ZZ Top – Brown Sugar

Yeah - The Verve counts as it is in iPod order hence why I had David Bowie for D rather than B.

It was an interesting exercise but we kept to relatively mainstream stuff because we'd been out and wanted some music to lengthen the evening. I didn't choose a lot of stuff because it would have dropped the tempo etc... i might do an alternative list with my own personal likings without the wife's.
