How do you think the world would react to your selection?
This is it. The day has come. This is my chance to rickroll the entire world in one go.

Baby Shark x14
My Pal Foot Foot x1
You’re a monster, but I think you knew that. ha
There’s a mall up in Montreal, Canada, playing babyshark on repeat in stairwells to prevent homeless people from staying there. So far it’s been cruelly effective.
Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I’m sure that’s how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.
I’ll share my favourites for when I need to calm the fuck down:
Island In Video Cassette from the Serial Experiments Lain Cyberia soundtrack
Duvet - Boa
Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty
Trampoline - Shaed
Teardrop - Massive Attack
Bullets - Archive
Lean On - Major Lazer featuring MØ
Human - Rag’n’Bone Man
Brand New Day - Sting
Drop The Game - Flume
Come Talk to Me - Peter Gabriel
Love to be Loved - Peter Gabriel
Temple of Love - any version, Sisters of Mercy
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley cover
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Mr E’s Beautiful Blues - Eels
4’33" by John Cage repeated 15 times.
The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?
I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.
Ohh yeah, they make one noise and we start again, I want half an hour minimum of silence from everyone, maybe they might look inside themselves and find the good person they’re hiding or I’ll get to not listen to people talk. Win win.
What’s New Pussycat on repeat, with an It’s Not Unusual thrown in sporadically
Reference: https://youtu.be/Tv1l1eUhN-E
“what’s new pussycat” 14 times, with “it’s not unusual” thrown in once to give them hope
“God DAMmit.”
Beat me to it. I scrolled back just to post this and… Here you are.
Reggaeton
15 different renditions of Popcorn.
I think you found the solution for world peace.
I remember reading about someone who listened to Popcorn for 24 hours and it had an effect on them.
Was the effect that he eventually popped?
Tame Impala’s Currents.
Don’t know how they’d react, but here’s the list I’d go with based on what I’ve been recently addicted to:
Escape Route by Free The Jester
Tongue Tied by Free The Jester
Shapeshifter by Nothing Shameful
Selkirk by Nothing Shameful
And probably one more to round it off:
Casulty by The Nixon Rodeo.
If people aren’t a fan of small no-name bands, they might not like these talented groups and their songs, but I’m sure there are people out there who would absolutely love these indie(?) selections. I swear small no-name unrecognized bands have some of the best music.
Wait a minute. Is the lead vocals of Free The Jester the same Lead Singer of Not Green Day?
No clue. Would have to look it up, which I’m gonna do because you got me curious.
Edit:
From a quick search, definitely seems like they might be. Never heard of Not Green Day, though. Crazy stuff if it’s true.
I highly recommend going to see Not.GreenDay if they have a show near you. I saw them this year and they definitely sound like the OG GreenDay. They also did a good job of getting the crowd involved and in high spirits.
I listen to prog, so it’d be a looong playlist

While generally not considered a “prog band”, I’ll include this one as a bonus just because I had it going through my head the entire time I was compiling this list: Deep Purple-Child In Time
