Help! I have a gift card to iTunes and don't know what else to download.

My husband wants me to make a contemporary mix for our anniversary road trip this weekend and I'm at a loss. Damn radio stations don't give artist and title information anymore.

Here are some tunes I've already downloaded.

Creed "One Last Breath"
Matchbox 20 "3AM" and "Unwell"
3 Doors Down "When I'm Gone" and "Kryptonite"
Nickelback "Someday"

if that gives you an idea of the kind of mood I'm in.

Any ideas?????

1. Looking for something new?

Try Clutch's "Blast Tyrant". If you're looking for specific song from it, try "Regulator", "Ghost", "Subtle Hustle", "Mob Goes Wild".

On edit: of course, you can try before you buy on iTunes, so see if you like it first.

2. Cool! Listening to it now. Thanks!

I chose Ghost.

[Mojambo]

3. Here's a few good songs

East Lawn - New Constitution
Benediction - The Weakerthans
To Wild Homes - New Pornographers
Shadow Land - Youth Group
No Culture Icons - The Thermals
Slipping Through The Sensors - Fruit Bats
There's This Girl - Sweet Baby
Throwaway Style - Exploding Hearts
Pump It Up - Elvis Costello

Now there is some good music, entirely appropriate for a road trip. I don't use iTunes so I have no idea how many of those you can get.

4. okay first...

sell back the drek you just bought and buy anything by:

Perfect Circle
Drive By Truckers
Sleater Kenny
Nico Case
Mastodon

5. First of all, it's kind of in poor taste to slag someone's music tastes

in a thread where they are just looking for suggestions.

And by the way, It's Neko Case.

6. thanks Miss Manners...

[Mojambo]

8. Actually it's Dr. Manners

But you're welcome!

[muchacho]

10. nice...a PHD....

[Strawman]

12. You're right, but I'll second the Drive By Truckers rec

"Hell No I Ain't Happy" would be perfect for the kind of mood music you're looking for.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. Phhfffttt! I like my drek and I'm keeping it.

I will listen to your suggestions though. :)

7. anniversary stuff huh?

try these:

Game of Love (santana feat. Michelle Branch)
Comedown (Bush) dont worry, its gavin rossdale... not george w.
Good Riddance {aka time of your life} (Green Day)
Delicate (damien Rice)
Southern Girl (incubus)

and a must have for any mix youll be listening to with any SO...

Love Song (311)

its kinda cheesy, but if you get anything from what ive listed, get that one.

i tried to aim along the same lines as the ones youve posted.
