In all the time I've been blogging (not quite a year yet) I haven't once loaded up a randomizer/shuffle post - mainly because my player will cough up chunks of clunk from the catalogue when it's under pressure. So this time I set myself some rules...List the first five songs and get 1 point for every good song.
Then - either stick if it's a good hand, or twist for another 5 points and repeat if you dare.
However should a clunker come into play - that's it. Bust. Game Over - lose all your points.
So, how many hands could I do before going bust? Well I make this three twists without any howlers so decided to stick at 15 points...

mmm, seems a bit complicated to me. And who's determining what's a good song here?!
My ipod shuffle gives me:
Un Poison violent, c'est ca l'mour - Serge Gainsbourg (Anna soundtrack)
Do you realize?? - The Flaming Lips (Yoshimi Battles the Pink robots)
So Long Marianne - Leonard Cohen (The Songs of Leonard Cohen)
Sometimes - Erykah Badu (Baduizm)
40 Past Midnight - Ocean Colour Scene (Moseley Scoals)
See, I could keep going forever!
I love the fact that you came up with 2 Sex Pistols tracks and John Martyn!
It does seem a bit of a fumble in the re-reading. My criteria for a bad song was completely subjective - if you reach for the fast forward or a song you'd be embarrased by pops up that's it - clunker, game over.
That's a dandy selection Cocktails, very cosmopolitan.
I only found out recently John Lydon was a John Martyn fan in his pre Pistols period.
