So I've had to create a playlist for myself for when I'm going to work. My commute is about 45-55 minutes depending on traffic, and this setlist is 47~ minutes long at the moment. If I arrive at work early, i'll sit and listen to the rest of my setlist.
Basically, I really need music to stay focused on my driving for some reason. I can't drive in silence, unless there's a massive downpour, and the sound of rain fills my ears. Also, it's really dangerous for me because in the absence of constant aural stimulation in the car, I start to fall asleep. That's not good when driving. All of this has really caused me to think of what actually goes into building the perfect playlist for something like this. In all, I just went through my library, found the songs that I liked, placed those, and then thought about where I would be at that point in the drive, and what kind of song I would need/would want to listen to. From all of that, this playlist was born.
All in all, this is a really solid playlist. However, I'll be open to (actual) suggestions to add/replace to this playlist. I kind of want maybe 1/2 more songs in here to buffer for traffic (I had 10 minutes to spare today b/c of traffic), and probably replacements wherever those are needed.
I love this playlist, simply because it's inundated with my all time favorite music, and it really serves to energize and ready me for work.
In the end, I'm wondering if anyone has really put much thought into creating a playlist, and for what purposes. Maybe even if certain songs serve better purposes for certain situations, or whether songs have better synergy with each other. For example, I don't think a death metal song, as good as it is, belongs in this play list.
(also, looking for recommendations and such, always open to expanding my musical love)
