So let me get this straight... You'd not only welcome 80 minutes of the knuckledragging shit I listen to - most of which would make a Cro-Magnon man banging on a trash can lid with a chimpanzee skull sound like an audiophile experience - but my long-winded, wordy reflections on how and why it ruined my life as well?

Sure. But you know narrowing it down to just one artist/band is going to cause me many a tormented and sleepless night, right? I'm already wringing my hands over it.

Let me narrow it down for you. I actually like me some Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks solo although after 11,432 spins, "Go Your Own Way" and that "white-winged dove" or whatever she's saying-song have lost some of their luster.
But there's this Stevie Nicks song on the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" soundtrack that gets me every time.
Of course if Gus, RA, or Kevin read this, I'll claim dementia.

How could I not be in when I'm name checked in the first line of the first post AND The entire timeline of the shebang may be catered to my availability? I'm in.

Hmm, this Shebang sounds interesting, if only for the purpose of annoying the living shit out of Clark. I've got a Bon Jovi mix coming your way!
Yes, I am fucking kidding. Yes, count me in.

I debated about participating, but I'm going to have to bow out this time around. October is going to be too busy to devote any time to this project.

My son has beaten you to the punch with his Bon Jovi hits CD, Gus, that I bought for him at CVS. With my own money. There was a time not long ago where I thought if I heard "Livin' On a Prayer" one more time, my head would explode.
"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride"
Yeah, sure you are Jon...

Clark, count your blessings--if I'd participated, it would be Night Ranger.

Do it, Kristina. But I want a copy, even though I don't do shebangs! :)
Phil wrote: "I'd go Sinatra."
"That's Life" is a great song. I could do without the rest of his catalog.

So who's stopping you?
Get this - last summer, the dad of one of my daugher's friends asked me if I wanted to go see Night Ranger, who were playing at a hydroplane boat race festival at a local state park. I begged off but told him I'd pray for his soul.
How the mighty fall...

I'm in... calling dibs on Sinatra.And it's my first Shebang, so I'm going to have to read up on rules. :)

The first rule, obviously, is to annoy the old guy.

If I was in, It'd have to be Emmylou Harris. Or maybe all of Elvis Costello's wonderful early stuff, plus a duet he did with Marion McPartland ("My Funny Valentine.")

So if I can find a Sinatra cover of a Beatle song, I should include it?

I'm sure the old guy would be disappointed if everyone ignored that rule.
He's so easily disappointed, it's not much fun any more.

What do you mean "if"? You're in, you slacker. Misha, add her to the list.

It's not that I detest him. I just don't get the adoration.
Now his one-hit wonder daughter Nancy? She was really something. The first time I heard "Boots," while sitting at a Kresge lunch counter when I was in grade school, ruined me forever.

Oh good, that still leaves two orifices through which I can breath safely.
Right nostril & left nostril
What did you think I was talking about?
I think I want in on this one. It's my first too, so we'll see how this turns out. I want to go with Jack White.
Clark wrote: "Now his one-hit wonder daughter Nancy? She was really something. The first time I heard "Boots," while sitting at a Kresge lunch counter when I was in grade school, ruined me forever."I have a Nancy Sinatra song on the playlist I listen to most.
Things is a duet with Dean Martin.
As you would expect, Mr. Martin carries most of the weight in this pairing.
Want to annoy Clark?Say you're picking "Air Supply" or "Asia."
If I get back any of the shebangs threatened here I would be perfectly happy. That includes Sinatra, Emmylou, Jack White, Elvis Costello. OK, not Bon Jovi.
I could type up a list of songs, but I have not yet learned how to burn a CD.
Cynthia, do you have a CD burner? That's the first question.
Yes I do. I could read the manual, but I am lazy and technophobic. I have figured out my Ipod, and am currently enrolled in a digital photography class. In the next six weeks I hope to post actual photos from my Sony Cyber-shot to the pages of Goodreads. One thing at a time.
I've often thought about participating in one of the shebangs, but I've worried that a lot of the music I like wouldn't interest anyone. A single artist disc would be tough, too. Willie Nelson might work. Or Johnny Cash. Maybe Elvis, but all of those 3-minute hits in one sitting is a bit much. James Brown? The Animals? The Kinks? Cole Porter could count as a single artist if composers fit the definition...Anyway, I'm interested in principle but need to come up with something that would work well.
Cole Porter would be a fun one, since you have so many interpretations to choose from. I'd be interested in any of those you listed.Join us, Jonathan!
We don't judge people for their taste in music (except for Clark) so i wouldn't worry about that.
Hmmm. Okay, count me in. But I still need to think about what's feasible for a theme/artist given the state of my music collection, as there's a lot of stuff that I have on vinyl. (I know it's technically possible to convert it to digital, but I have no clue how to do it.)
I'm in! Most likely gonna be doing a Kanye West mix though.
can I do a twofer? Like, two artists on one disc?'cause my shebang just came together kinda perfectly by accident, and I think it's a sign.
Going... going... gone! Wow the signups came fast and furious for this one.
Well, it's like, with my music library...most of my artists only have one or two albums...and the ones that have more than that, their greatest hits don't fill up an entire disc.
I should have gone in on this one. I would have put together a collection of Jimmy Barns the Australian one hit wonder, just for Clark.
:(Yes, ma'am.

In your case, I'll settle for a cassette mix tape dubbed from vinyl.
