Baby got back and Sandstorm seem sort of random and misplaced, they don't really match the rest of them. It sort of takes away from the unity of the CD. Other than that, I approve.

EDIT: You could put in For those about to Rock by AC/DC. I guess I don't remember hearing it at competition, but it would still work.


Oh yes and Bananaphone, you can never lose with bananaphone.

ok after a few days of posting on this i have an idea of a few songs that are musts for the playlist.

Enter Sandman-Metallica
Sandstorm-Darude
Cotton Eye Joe-Rednex
Baby Got Back-Sir Mixalot
Ironman-Black Sabbath
Another One bites the Dust-Queen
Devil Went Down to Georgia-Charlie Daniels Band (nationals mix only)
Freebird-Lynard Skynard
Mr. Roboto-Styx
Eye of the Tiger-Survivor
Eruption-Van Halen
Smells Like Teen Spirit-Nirvana
Either Under Pressure by Queen or Don't Panic or Clocks by Coldplay (play after there is this accident on the field)
Stairway to Heaven-Led Zeppelin (in honor of last year)

ok this is my start off, i happen to be a big rock fan so i have a fair amount of rock on there. I'm looking through the techno collection now and seeing what i can throw in also.

Comments on this?

yeah i agree, but i think it is necessary for about 2 more songs from Zeppelin, and perhaps some AC/DC plus a bit of Pink Floyd just to make it a bit more well rounded.

I disagree with playing Pink Floyd, I love them, but they aren't the first band that comes into mind when I think of FIRST competitions. They are way too "chill-out" to be played. I think they need to play some Streetlight Manifesto.

much improved playlist on the way...any more suggestions after Led Zepplin and Acdc, Rammstein

[snipelfritz]

I haven't read the whole thread but heres a few:

We will rock you/we are the champions-By Queen

The Hey song-By I don't know

A bunch of loud techno and party music.

[Denman]

clocks from those 3 you listed

ac/dc tnt (denman starts singing out loud till someone slaps him )
I can't see why you shouldput rammstein on it , its a bit too offsensive for the competition imho

[Goober!!!]

We need Mr. Roboto!!!

[UCGL_Guy]

from an aged rocker -
in honor of our team name
Ridin' the storm out - REO Speedwagon

[BLAZE]

What else can I add that everyone else hasn't added so beautifully? Just some advice, you can't please everyone, but you can come close. Try and add songs that everyone can dance and sing to. (Ex. Cotton Eye Joe.)
Anything that gets a crowd pumping works, too. (Ex. Queen's We Will Rock You)

[katkana]

*tosses in two cents* I have a couple oddities to add... Lots of Japanese music has a techno-ish beat to it (if you need any ideas, just look to the anime! ) Personally, I really liked the (first?) Ghost in the Shell soundtrack (Be Human, by Yoko Kanno). FLCL also has some good stuff. And of course, Cowboy BeBop...

the fact that rammstein sings in german and maybe 10 people there wil understand what their saying, its great. lol. but, im not saying we should put 'mein teil' on it. no. but, like, 'ohne dich' and 'amerika' would be good songs. i mean, okay, it say wonderbra in 'amerika' but, come on, woo-hoo???? half the robotics people wear a bra.... and, its not in any offensive manner either.

Actually, they say "wunderbar" which is german for "wonderful" :eng101:

Additionally, I doubt that half of the people in robotics wear a bra.

Furthermore, just because only a small percentage of people will be offended, we are still playing offensive music at competitions. The judges might even know german, whereas they are professionals from the technological industry, and german is a good language to know if you are planning on doing buisness management.

[CatchRothy22]

I'm going to just throw out some new suggestions outside of what else is being offered, even though my team will most likely not use these:

- Anything by Venetian Snares or Panacea
- Captain Beefheart Trout Mask Replica just to play around
- Space Ghost's Musical Barbeque
- Tabla Beat Science (or anything with Zakir Hussein) to have a mysterious feeling
- MC5, the Stooges, and/or Richard Hell and the Voidoids
- Napalm Death or Repulsion as long as you "get it" and feel energetic
- Anything by Frank Zappa because he is awesome
- Anything with Les Claypool
- Mindless Self Indulgence
- Refused
- Big Black
- Mustard Plug
- Crotchduster or Mr. Bungle for anyone who already agreed with Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa.

If you want people to think your robot is vicious and/or dying, play anything by Merzbow, Oscillating Innards, or Bastard Noise.

Also, there are 2 german teams i believe (one from about 2 years ago, and someone tried to set one up this year i believe). As such it does bring a more international flavour in. (yes, i changed my mind in some ways, but there are still some definate no nos for rammstein)
