Wow, that's mainly some fairly characterless recent stuff there. I think you need to liven it up a lot, try not to stick so rigidly to stuff from the last 10 years. Maybe try play some:
Nick Cave
Smashing Pumpkins
Porcupine Tree
Bjork
Nine Inch Nails
The Cure
David Bowie
Garbage
Joy Division
Muse
The Smiths
Hope that helps.

meh.. thats your opinion but thanks for the reply. That characterless stuff can be pretty good though when drunk as a skunk in the back a' beyonds! I'll be palying alot of those bands you added too, didn't put em in coz they were kinda obvious i thought.
More stuff would be...
elliot smith
badly drawn boy
mouse on mars
cornelius
adf
pixies
etc....0 -

Ah fair enough so. I got the idea that you were kinda ignoring some classics seeing as most of the stuff you mentioned was very recent.
Probably fairly obvious aswell, but maybe some classic rock like Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Rush, AC/DC would probably go down great.
Oh, and an absolute must is Journey! I think that'll raise some serious cheer because of the Family Guy reference too. Should go down a storm. 0 -
