1. The Doors - The Soft Parade
If I’m ever gonna try any drugs, this is the song I’ll be listening to while high. It’s surreal, and it’s great.
2. Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower
My personal Dylan favourite. Ambigious lyrics, wistful atmosphere.
3. The Buzzcocks - Fallen In Love
One of my two favourite punk songs, and also a somewhat wistful one — as is most of the songs I like, as I’ve come to realise…
4. Coldplay - Yellow
A somewhat romantic yet sad one; one that I started loving once I noticed the fuzzed guitars in the background of the intro.
5. Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like In Heaven
One of their most poppy songs, a weird little love song.
6. Jimmy Eat World - Blister
“When the world caves in, what’cha gonna do?” I can relate to this, what with exams I haven’t really read much for, and stuff.
7. Madrugada - Step Into This Room And Dance For Me
Please? 
A dark song with a wonderful refrain.
8. Muse - The Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist
“It scares the Hell out of me / the end is all I can see…” The year is dying, and I don’t know what happens in the next one. 
9. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Rock Of Gibraltar
A nice little metaphoric popsong, also with some small hints of wistfulness. (As do most of the songs of this CD, even though I don’t mention it all the time.)
10. Nick Drake - Fly
It’s on the soundtrack to one of my favourite movies, “The Royal Tennenbaums”, and it’s used just around the time when one of the Tennenbaums attept suicide. Wistful? Yeah.
11. Queen - Somebody To Love
My “I’d like to wallow in self-pity for a while, please” song numero uno.
12. Readiohead - No Surprises
The last two times I’ve listened to this song, it brought tears to my song. Awesome.
13. REM - Driver 8
My favourite REM song, and also one of their most wistful ones (duh).
14. Sonic Youth - Sugar Cane
Perhaps the least wistful song on the CD. One of the band’s best, in my humble opinion. (Internet abbreviations, go screw yourself. Except of course “yayz0r”. “yayz0r” is my beloved.)
15. The Coral - Pass It On
One of the few songs that manages to be both up-tune and somewhat sad at the same time. A cheerful little bugger, in other words. Makes me kinda sad, though. Thus, wistful.
16. The Raconteurs - Intimate Secretary
Dunno why I added this song, really, but it could be its awesome lyrics and the relatively monotone vocals.
17. The Smiths - Still Ill
“Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body? I don’t know.” “We cannot cling to those dreams any more.” More wistful awesomeness.
18. The Urge Overkill - Goodbye To Guyville
This song’s title makes it a nice one to have as the last track, just as “The Soft Parade” with its cool intro makes a pretty neat first track. And it’s intensely beautiful, too. More so than “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon” (perhaps their most famous song), in any case.
(Oh, and if someone’s wondering why the hell I’m listening to CDs, it’s because my MP3 player went kaput.)

I guess it is much good here. What happened to Jolene?
I, for one are nowadays listening to Bandit, the rock channel for P4. Great music all the time, and various bands and so on. (Even though I have heard the same song tvice and two AC/DC songs, at least of what I remember, in the perhaps six hours I have listened to it.)

“I guess it is much good here. What happened to Jolene?”
I didn’t download that one until after I’d burned the CD. But I still listen to it, of course, only not when I’m out walking or doing other stuff like that. And yes, there are indeed much good here. In fact, there’s only good stuff, as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah? I’ve seen a lot of comnmercials for it, but for me the thought of P4 and rock just doesn’t mix. I actually get a kinda queasy feeling inside just by thinking of it.

I really enjoyed them in the weekend, but now they have some voices inbetween the songs and so on.
But yes, they handle it really well, I think.
Unlike P4, they don’t have to much commercials. Which is a good thing. Rock and stupid Statoil-commercials just don’t fit.
