The one limitation with last.fm is that it clearly is not an exhaustive catalogue. Many of the bands I wanted to include weren't even featured yet. So I am kind of limited. That being said, it had a pretty impressive selection.
Also, I like putting playlists together that are similar, because I am rarely in the mood to hear several genres all at once.
My main goal was to try to put together samplers comprised of bands most may not have heard yet. I would be surprised if most here have listened to many of those bands (shins and a few others excluded, of course).
Lately, I also have been putting together playlists that we can all listen to in the car. My wife doesnt like harder stuff, and I dont want to turn my kids off before they are 5, so I try to find stuff that is it a bit more pop than rock.
I probably am not the guy to put together a playlist of classic rock or metal. But I certainly could put together a sampling of harder indie. If that is what is wanted, then no worries.
I wish more folks here would do this project. It seems like some of the older guard have a deeper knowledge of classic rock and I wouldn't mind sitting at the feet of my elders to glean from their wisdom. It should almost be a pre-requisite when you sign up here....go put together a playlist that represents you. That would be cool.
