Your personal 'Back To Mine' tracklist?

When the 'Back To Mine' series was going on a year or two ago I thought it would be a cool idea to try to create my own. I forgot I did it, but I came across it yesterday and thought it would be cool to see what others would come up with.

The basic idea is to create a single CD worth of content that basically says 'this is who I am' from a musical standpoint. Every track should be one that you would say, 'God, I love this song' whenever you hear it.

Let's try not to blast people for their choices. By definition, these will be their very favorite songs and very likely mean something to them.

I tried to impose the rule of only having one track by any given artist, but I bent it a little and put two New Order tracks on mine.

Anyway, here's the disc I made. Been listening to it in my car today:

1. New Order - Love Less
2. Joy Division - She's Lost Control
3. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
4. Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
5. Wire - Ahead
6. Smiths - Half a Person
7. Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie
8. Prince - If I Was Your Girlfriend
9. Public Enemy - Night Of The Living Baseheads
10. Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence
11. Coldplay - Yellow
12. Moby - Honey
13. Cocteau Twins - Ice Blink Luck
14. Cure - Pictures Of You
15. New Order - Temptation

Whoops. Sorry, didn't know this had been done before.

Checked, only 5 of them are on that, I don't own it. Not much point when I own 90% of it already. I make no secret of being a Wetherall/Boys Own fan. I bought their first 2 compilations. :)
