Songs in the key of U


I've been trying to listen to all 1700 songs on my 8gb iPod in alphabetical order this month, and today was all the songs starting with the letter U. I thought it made a nice little playlist, and I can't find anything else to write about today, so I'm reposting it here.



All the U songs on my iPod.

  1. Uncorrected Personality Traits - Robyn Hitchcock
  2. Under the Hedge - Ted Leo/Pharmacists
  3. Under the Milky Way - The Church
  4. The Underdog - Spoon
  5. Underground Sun - Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3
  6. Underneath the Bunker- R.E.M.
  7. Underwater - The Three O'Clock
  8. Underwater Moonlight - The Soft Boys
  9. Underwhelmed - Sloan
  10. Unexpected Packages - Cindy Lee Berryhill
  11. Unfinished Business - The Go-Betweens
  12. Unguarded Moment - The Church
  13. Unguided - The New Pornographers
  14. The Universal - Blur
  15. Unsatisfied - The Replacements
  16. Untouchable - Glenn Tilbrook
  17. The Unwanted Things - Ted Leo / Pharmacists
  18. Up In The Air - DM3
  19. Up the Junction- Squeeze
  20. Up With The Larks - The Pearlfishers
  21. Ups And Downs - The Flamin' Groovies
  22. Upside-Down - Yo La Tengo
  23. Use It - The New Pornographers

Two New P's songs.  Two Ted Leo songs.  Two Church songs (and I only have 10 Church songs on my iPod).   Two Robyn songs and one Soft Boys song.  One Squeeze song and one Tilbrook solo song.   A nice little mix, and it's only 78 minutes so it would fit on a CD too.. I think everyone could make a decent playlist by playing all the U songs from their iPods or iTunes in alphabetical order!

    I don't know if you ever listen to KFOG, but I was curious if you got the idea from them. They're playing songs in alpha order all this month. They were up to "O" as of yesterday.

    Yeah, I kind of got the idea from KFOG's "quality rock from A to Z" blocks..

    Ha - I just noticed that although I have a track by one of your commenters, that track isn't in his own list...

    I don't know that "Underground" song, but I'm concerned now that I don't have the song "Utopia Parkway" on my iPod.
