Song/Music suggestions

[caduceus]

I'm soon to be joining the heards of backpackers in Bangkok where my round the world trip begins.
Along with the digital camera I hav'nt decided on yet, I will be taking an mp3 player. 128mb capacity, however many tracks that is. . .

I want to fill it with some really great tracks and need some inspiration from the great and diverse bunch of people on here. You're a well travelled, cultured and decent lot on here so what better place to get a wide spread of tunes to choose from.

In the list already are:
Head over heels - Tears for fears
Pure shores - All Saints
Power of goodbye - Madonna
Psyche rock - Pierre Henry
Angelica - Lamb
Resoloution - Aaliyah

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers
Cad

Love of the Common People was originally sung by Marvin Gaye.

I think a few classical pieces wouldn't go amiss either - I'd suggest some Elgar or Holst.

How about a bit of opera too - Madamme Butterfly, Aida or Carmen?

128 Mb is about 25 – 30 tracks I reckon. Not a lot to keep you going on a world tour. Why not get a bigger player and put your whole collection on there? That way you just have to choose what to play rather than choose what to take.

I have a 40GB iPod which has all my CD’s and Vinyl on it. It’s about 3/5 full. Yet to do my tape cassettes.
