Ganked from sidrar: open your MP3 player, write doen the first 20 tracks it plays, no matter how embarassing:

1) Boogiepop Phantom OST - Rare/Happy End
2) Gloria Estefan - Conga
3) Star Wars - Imperial March (Techno Remix)
4) Sisters of Mercy - Marian
5) Sixteen Horsepower - Beyond the Pale
6) Yoko Kanno/Hajime Mizaguchi - The Hurt
7) Cats Laughing - Sing Out
8) Dead Can Dance - Song of the Dispossessed
9) Boiled in Lead - Go! Move! Shift! (The Moving-On Song)
10) Dead Can Dance - The Snake and the Moon
11) Chopin - Nocturne in D flat major
12) Loreena McKennitt - The mystic's dream
13) Heather Alexander - Samhain
14) David Bowie and Trevor Jones - Within You
15) Boogiepop Phantom OST - Wing & PJ/Boogiepop Me Up
16) Boiled in Lead - Madman Mora Blues
17) Andreas Vollenweider - Hirzel
18) Various Artists - Studio 54 Limited Edition ('70s mix)
19) Boiled in Lead - No Passenger
20) Basil Poledouris - Riddle of Steel/Riders of Crom

Not too embarrassing, except for #18 there, and actually a pretty good mix. #2 and #18 stick out a bit, but for a random MP3 player to hit 18 out of 20 when pulling from 4 gigs of amazingly diverse crap, not a bad run.

(and then after the Conan soundtrack, it just *has* to pop up one of my guilty secrets - Weiss Kreuz. Which is a Japanese boy band that for publicity had an anime made based on their onstage personas. The anime concerns four bishounen who are assassins by night and by day live in their cover identities of florists. The cheese factor is so incredibly high I love the whole concept. And it turns out that for me the music is perfect coding music - I can't listen to techno like many friends, because I get distracted by the beat and I can't reason out the next bits of code. Japanese boy bands are great because the music is so incredibly bland that it's not in the least distracting and the lyrics are all in Japanese so I don't get distracted by them, either.)
