Make a six track "taster" download for your favourite artists....

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Imagine that you've been asked by some kind of internet music company to put forward special six track "taster" packs for folk to download as an introduction to different bands and singers. What songs would you choose?

Have as many acts as you want and list six songs to go into their "taster" packs. They can be your favourite six songs or six that you think provide the best overall style of the artist.

I'll start with a couple and will add more later...

Man, sucks that they've released five 'proper' albums. Only leaves one slot for 'misc', otherwise I'd have had Warrior, Alleigence or Breaking The Silence too. I wanted one from each album though, plus TFATF because I've always seen it as 'the Firewind theme tune'.

I like how that 6 track Dream Theater sampler would nearly fill up a standard CD

[Liam]

May do one with links tomorrow, but for now:

In Flames

Clayman

Hard one to throw together, and missing something from their earlier work, but since they've moved away from that, it's not too big of an issue.
