Imagine you are on the bike in the gym. You don’t want to listen to side conversations about pointless things you don’t care about, so you put your ear buds in for the next 45-minutes. You’re listening to Pandora on your phone, and you have it on shuffle, so any song that comes on next is completely random and by chance. It's like song roulette, if you think of it.
Are there certain songs you couldn’t stand so you press the skip button? Is it that Iggy Azalea song that’s constantly on the radio or that song by Kate Perry that’s been driven into the ground as a throwback?

Are there songs that you wish you could play over again that you’ve never heard before? Do they have a beat or rhythm that makes you want to pedal faster? Are they loud or are they soft lyrics and tones?
Whether it is 90s rock, dubstep, country or pop, everyone has his or her own favorite tastes in music. Some people, like myself, can’t pick a favorite genre. One second I’m listening to a country song about drinking on a beach, and the next I’m listening to a death metal band. Each song I listen to has a message within it that I connect with. In addition, they have a melody that soothes me for whichever mood I find myself in.
Sometimes I find myself in a country mood, other times it's an indie rock mood. It all depends on my thoughts and what I am doing that day.
But what if (dramatic pause) you put all those songs on shuffle on one playlist? Well, my friends, I have done just that. I have defied all laws of musical physics and broke down genre barriers to form the most random playlist thinkable.
Here it is: one of the most random lists of songs compiled on an Odyssey article. Strap yourself in folks … it’s going to be an interesting ride …
