Spotify Playlist

[Daveysloan]

Putting together a Spotify playlist of songs with coincidentally have the title of Speccy games (so not soundtracks of films that have a Speccy conversion etc). Here's what I have so far, any suggestions?

[StooB]

Roxy Music - Avalon
Klaus Nomi - Total Eclipse
Garbage - Run Baby Run

[Daveysloan]

Nice! Going straight on.

[PeteProdge]

Full Throttle by The Prodigy
Gold by Spandau Ballet
War by Idles

[Daveysloan]

Fantastic! Although I think Gold may be a bit too obscure a game. Full Throttle is a belter!

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Yes, there's also a song about it...

[MustardTiger]

Arcadia - Lana Del Rey

[stupidget]

Outrun by VEIL OF MAYA ( who are basically a blatant rip off of Linkin Park)
Worse Things Happen at Sea by Frank Turner
Xeno by Crossfaith
Anything by the band Kayleth
Roller Coater by Bleachers
Renegade by Styx
Ping Pong by Armin van Buuren


There's a crappy dance band called Exolon

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Spiderman by The Ramones
Pyjamarama by Roxy Music

[Mpk]

Fat Worm by Puncher
The Sentinel by Judas Priest
Monty Mole by Night Crew
Ah Diddums by Pet Store

( also, anything by SabreWulf )

3 of these have never been played before by anyone who isn't in the band, I reckon

[Mpk]

There's a song called 'Jet Set Willy' by a band called 'The British IBM' which is explicitly about the game but it features the lyric

I played it on my BBC,
I never liked those rubber keys

so I'm afraid we'll have to not include that, but instead shun them as heretics.

Not a bad way to discover new music. Project Future is a nice, chilled out jazzy number.

Quite like Bugaboo by A House. Like Shed Seven crossed with Midnight Oil and the B52s.

[Mpk]

Not a bad way to discover new music.

I listened to 14 tracks named Wriggler. Not recommending any of them.

Gauntlet by The Connells isn't bad.

[PeteProdge]

I don't know what Chaos by The New Young Pony Club sounds like (yet), but I reckon it's the greatest song of all time by any act.

[RWAC]

Zoom - Fat Larry's Band
The Great Escape - The Lathums
Richochet - David Bowie

[MustardTiger]

Revolution - Spacemen 3
Athena - The Who
Dandy - The Kinks
Cyclone - Dub Pistols
Finders Keepers - Cliff Richard and the Shadows
Sir Lancelot - Calloway

I typed speccy game titles into discogs.com to see what popped up.

[Daveysloan]

These are brilliant!! Thanks everyone.
