As I’ve been reading a lot of HST lately, it was only a matter of time before I came across Where Were You When The Fun Stopped?, a compilation by the man himself. It contains some real gems, both favourites of his and influential tunes from his times. Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” and of course Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” are but two examples. If you’ve seen the 2003 documentary “Breakfast with Hunter S. Thompson”, these will no doubt be familiar, as the soundtrack to it is almost identical to this album.

Anyway, it got me thinking. So my question is this: what pieces of music would you choose if you were to choose a compilation album of your life? We are but young, so let’s say six tracks - an EP of sorts. Or however many - my first attempt produced 24. Answers as comments, let’s hear ‘em. Bonus points if you can think of a snappy title for the disc as well. The tracks don’t necessarily have to be favourites of yours, they can be representative. Or whatever.

Revision time sacrificed: 90 mins (1 hr to choose, 30 mins to order). Yes, I am a student.
