Exclamation Some Suggestions
Every year I go to my cabin for about 2 weeks (its in New York and I live in Minnesota) and as of two years ago I started making 3 or 4 mix cd's that I bring with me and leave up there. The songs on these cd's are mainly for the nights and the plane ride, and I tend to make them as if they are a professional cd mix, not super random. The songs I like to listen to out there are more emo, because I like to lay late at night and listen to these songs and think about things, but really any good song I am totally open to.

That being said, there are three formats that I use.
1. Night CD: This is the cd with good, calm, easy, maybe acoustic type songs. In the past I have used stuff like Tonic "If You Could Only See", Bryan Adams "Everything I Do", and David Gray "The Other Side." So recommend good songs that are easy to fall asleep to.
2. Three or Four band compilation: This is where I take a few bands that I really like, more acoustic or soft music. The first year I made one called "DC Jars of Dispatch Confessionals" which had all of the good songs by those bands (DC Talk, Jars of Clay, Dispatch, Dashboard Confessionals). Last year I made two, one was "John (Mayer), Jason (Mraz), and Jack (Johnson)" the other was "Counting Three Cold Field" (Counting Crows, Three Doors Down, Coldplay, and Sensefield). This year I am using Savage Garden and probably Something Corporate. So if you have a good idea of a band with some good songs that would fit in that genre.
3. Girls Mix: This one would be harder for you to recommend, but this is the CD that I put songs that make me think of the girl back home. I can't really think of any examples, but good songs (really any genre) that make you think of a girl.

If you have any recomendations, please put them down. I am really looking for any good songs. I have about 2000 mp3's on my computer, so I probably have a lot of good ones that I am just looking over, so recommend anything whether its mainstream to the furthest thing from mainstream. As you can tell this is all kind of emo, but I just spend a lot of time by myself thinking about things, so it really fits.

By the way, sorry metal heads, that was three years ago They were good times though

To be honest, all 3 CDs sound like a girl's mix.

No but seriously, there's alot of quieter acoustic music on Pearl Jam's "lost Dogs"..the guy also has a good voice so if you like them, you may wanna give that a look.

Pearl Jam is my favorite band, I don't really see how the bands I listed are much different? Anyway, I don't want to start a debate in here.
