Over the weekend, I had this idea of creating a DT sampler that I will burn in CDs to give away to friends for Christmas. I came up with four, and the idea is that 1) it has to be album length, so not exceeding 75 mins, 2) it has to represent DT over time, so no tracks from the same album in the same playlist, and 3) it's not a greatest hits album, so the track choices should be based on what would make a good sounding album on its own. Which of the four playlists I made do you like best? And if you will make a similar sampler following the criteria I set, how would you do it?
As I did the playlists, I made an additional challenge that I will not repeat tracks between playlists. I tried to balance the heavy and the melodic stuff. Each playlist has its own "epic" and a 12SS song, which I think a DT sampler should have. Obviously, my bias against SC and WDADU shows.
