Assignment 23 - Peter Marino

For a short car ride 

1.“Take It or Leave It”
This is a song by the Strokes from their album Is This It that was released in 2001. This is one of my favorite albums ever, and I chose this song because you don’t really have to listen to it. While driving, I don’t really want to have to think about anything. I like alternative rock songs for car rides, and I am going to fill this playlist with them because I like their vibes in the car.
2.“The Man Who Sold the World”
This is a song written by David Bowie, but I prefer the Nirvana version. I think the guitar playing is better and this is why I chose this version. I don’t want to actually pay attention to the lyrics. I want to listen to the beat and the vibe.
3.“On Melancholy Hill”
Again, this is for the vibes of the song and nothing else. This is a song by Gorillaz. I’ve been listening to this band for a couple of years and I think their music is pretty good. In particular during long car rides and falling asleep.
4.“Scar Tissue”
Besides “Californication”, this is the most cliche Red Hot Chili Peppers song. But I don’t really care because it’s a good song. It’s a nice mellow song that goes along with the other alternative rock songs.
5.“My Sharona”
This is a song by The Knack. It’s really the only song I actually enjoy by The Knack. It doesn’t really fit in with the other songs in this playlist. The only reason I chose this one is because I really like the guitar solo at the end to finish off the playlist right.
