Hello! This is where I archive "blueprints" of playlists I made, for use on my YouTube Music and Deezer accounts. I'm especially thankful for these track list templates as I can be more exacting on what tracks I add for an ideal album experience. Sometimes there's multiple versions of one album on streaming that varies in mastering or even in audio formats (as in mono and stereo copies). Track list templates are especially useful for multi-artist compilations, such as tracks that inspired DOOM. This page seems to culminate my passions for music and writing at the same time!
Link to the list of (publicized) playlists I made. Starred playlists are what I personally recommend from personal taste and/or high-quality effort.

Centrovenous ⭐️
editMaybe you can tell what kind a Radiohead fan is by asking about their favorite one or two albums. Mine is Kid A first and In Rainbows second, which I guess signifies both my love for electronic music and a wide atmosphere while engorging in a prog pop spectacle of sound. I also love the Basement version of The King of Limbs, as well as the recut of Hail to the Thief. But while OK Computer is my third favorite, it's arguably my favorite era when it came to its B-sides, especially with how much I love the Paranoid Android single. I mean, it's got a pocket symphony, my favorite OKC album cut after "Karma Police", two diamond cut outtakes, and two really strong remainders. There's nothing else like the OKC era, as every last one of its songs feature a musicianship so strong they're dripping with self-love and confidence, of a band pushing itself to the limits while making all of its beautifully crafted works sound effortless. These B-sides reveal another part of music I love best, the kind of hard rock with so much depth and replayability in its dynamics. When I first heard "Polyethylene" I knew I was entering a goddamn dimension, and "A Reminder" made me revisit like it's my favorite café. It got to the point where I needed a playlist to easily find these songs whenever I needed to.
I made two editions of this compilation. The first, which I call the "Online" edition or "Mark I" (made on August 31 – September 2, 2024; publicized on September 19), comprises B-sides and outtakes as they're officially released and available on streaming services, including stuff from The Bends and the My Iron Lung EP. The second "Offline" edition or "Mark II" (made on November 15, 2025), has a different approach; all of the tracks are from the OK Computer era but several are from the unofficial compilations OK Outtakes and MiniDiscs (Hacked). Neither edition is necessarily better than the other; the first edition has some more quality control, is a little longer and is more acoustic, while the second edition is more thematically consistent and is generally heavier (especially given that OK Outtakes mixed the bass more loudly than Radiohead would allow lol), plus it has the admittedly better version of "Lift". Both editions are sequenced with cassette tapes in mind, so the playlist can be more flexible should it be ported to physical formats. Regardless, this is what you get when someone loves the music too much. Oh yeah, I'm more of a "Mark II" person now.
I formerly called the playlists Chipping Norton Driving Lessons, after Radiohead's former local studio in Oxfordshire in the 1990s; that title was a reflection of their growth in the decade. As of February 5, 2026, they're now titled Centrovenous, after the central venous line; I found that the hospital imagery fit best with OK Computer's aesthetics and songs. Also check out this artwork by HeikoFour, it's awesome!

In Rainbows (the video album)
editHell yeah. In Rainbows is arguably Radiohead's best work; while not exactly as experimental or in-depth as OK Computer or Kid A, it is their warmest and most universally appealing, and is perhaps the most spiritually gratifying of the three. The In Rainbows era was a rebirth for Radiohead in musicianship and band identity; after an attempt to return to the rock band musicianship with Hail to the Thief, they built upon the advantages of that album with more developed compositions and a tighter selection of songs. These songs were demonstrated in pre-release tours where their semi-unfinished forms showcased a new rhythm and passion that the band has rarely matched since; a pivotal moment was their performance at Bonnaroo 2006, considered to be Radiohead's greatest live recording ever. After a surprise announcement and pay-what-you-want release, the In Rainbows album received the best promotions the band has offered. An music video competition with Aniboom and [adult swim]. Two major webcasts with such camaraderie. Another major live video with their record producer. And several more great, haunting visual works cemented with the best tour of their career, which by default from Radiohead's talent, is one of the greatest tours ever. It was an incredible time to be a fan back in the mid-to-late 2000s, as the alternative rock band reinvented that decade for the final time, and no one owned it more than them.
The amount of videos amassed by 2009 was more than plentiful for a ten-track album. Four semi-finalist winners from the Aniboom event were obviously among the most primary highlights for this album. Combined with the Scotch Mist video for "Nude", as well as three additional independent commissions, eight out of the ten tracks have established videos. The fuck? They inadvertently made a video album! Who noticed?? It's not a live performance, but a real video album, with dedicated visual pieces for each track. Only "Bodysnatchers" and maybe "Faust Arp"* do not have a defined video, but even then, their webcasts more than happily fill the holes. Played back-to-back with the album's sequencing, it's nothing short of an incredible, breathtaking audiovisual experience that redefines Radiohead's visual personality with such respect. These videos comprise such a diverse soul, that you could come with many reasons to declare this, unofficially, as the greatest video album ever made. A pinnacle; just another day in the life for these boys. If you're a fan of Radiohead and/or music videos, please give these ones a chance.
*An alternate choice I had for "Faust Arp" is a low-quality camera recording of its live performance briefly being hijacked by a heckler. It's more of a clip, but more humorous than intimate. Well, it still sounds intimate...this performance was from the Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver, on August 19, 2008.

sImple SMiLE ⭐️
editTo quote this essay on SMiLE by Scot Livingston;
Try this as an experiment; put together a tape of all the SMiLE songs as they were officially released from Smiley Smile and 20/20 through Surf's Up. Put them in whatever order you think best suits them. Now, what does that sound like? How much of SMiLE can you glean from that tape? Sure it would've been weird, but how much of SMiLE's power and beauty shines through on those versions? And then think - until the first bootlegs started showing up in the mid '80s, this is all anybody had to go on. We should be grateful that the torch for SMiLE was carried on for so long.[1]
As much as SMiLE is my favorite album of all time, I love its lo-fi equivalent, Smiley Smile, so, so much. The following years of material the Beach Boys released up to Surf's Up is also among the pinnacles of their career, and this was partly helped by recycling tracks written for a lost album. So what does a semi-primitive yet upgraded version of Smiley Smile sound like? Well, half of it still sounds simple, but its spirit–in complexity, themes, and modular songwriting–remains playful and completely genuine in passion. And when put together with the central tracks "Cabinessence" and "Surf's Up", a playlist like this will retain almost as much emotional impact as a fanmix of the SMiLE sessions. Not like it's exactly like SMiLE, but it's an alternate experience that's more than worth appreciating. I certainly appreciated the hell out of it. Loved it more than Smiley Smile, even.
Only album cuts between Smiley Smile and Surf's Up are included. For sequencing, you'd have to base it on what you find best with the original SMiLE anyway. So I based the sequencing on the fanmix SMiLE – The 19.67 Mix, which is not only both compact and thematically unified, but also suggests areas for skits between the main tracks. Although "Good Vibrations" is more thematically ambiguous, its placement on side two seems to align it more with the cycle of life than the classical elements. In addition, I included "Little Bird" from the album Friends; while the song is unrelated to SMiLE aside from a sampling from "Child Is Father of the Man", I found it strengthened the cycle of life theme, assuming you interpret the song as a yearning for childhood innocence. In addition, while "You're Welcome" was released in 1967 as the B-side to "Heroes and Villains", it's excluded to preserve the thematic consistency on side two. (On The 19.67 Mix, "You're Welcome" immediately succeeds "Good Vibrations".) And lastly, the 20/20 version of "Do It Again" is not counted despite its "Workshop" outro.
Writing credits are listed below. Van Dyke Parks was not credited for "Mama Says" and the Smiley Smile version of "Wind Chimes". Brian Wilson deliberately refrained from co-crediting himself on "Little Bird". Lead vocals are also noted.

'80s⚡️DC ⭐️
editLove or hate AC⚡️DC, perhaps anyone can agree that they had distinct highs and lows comparable to any other band in their history. And boy did they have an era of lows. Sure, their albums with Brian Johnson are more hit-or-miss in consistency, but what they experienced in the mid-to-late 1980s arguably remains their nadir, at least in infamy. Firing several crew members, two alcohol dilemmas, more drummer switch-ups, and the realization that Johnson probably isn't as good in the lyrics department as the band had hoped. These seven years and three studio albums perhaps weren't as abhorrent compared to other folktales of rock legend, but they were still a band's dreaded midlife crisis, and for AC⚡️DC, it wasn't even a decade since they formed, and after two albums with Brian too. Flick of the Switch was a commercial failure. Blow Up Your Video was a critical failure. Fly on the Wall was both. It took a horror author's stubborn tryout in the film director's department for them to have a real song that they stuck with to this day. Not that its parent soundtrack album was a slouch, either...
But despite all of this, they pulled through with little scars. Their popularity was still strong, with all of their albums from the '80s selling at least a million copies, and their ethos of a good time was hardly questioned. A cynical answer would be that their standards were so low their fans wouldn't tell the difference between good tunes and bad. But if there's one thing AC⚡️DC is genuinely talented in, it's how to rock straight to the point, and they got better at it since 1990, especially after Brendan O'Brien started producing for them. As for the tunes themselves? Well, it's certainly not like they stopped churning out a decent song all of a sudden; the ones chosen as singles were actually pretty good! In fact, nearly all of these A-sides are good! Hell, Flick of the Switch later became a cult classic among fans for its production and for featuring the last of Brian's legendary screams. Better a hit-or-miss band than no hits at all. It's understandable the band looks back on these years with shame, but thankfully they did more good than they thought.
So why not make a compilation album of this period? Simple enough. I collected every A-side from these three albums, alongside "Who Made Who" and two B-sides found in the Backtracks compilation, cutting out "Snake Eye". Then I decided that "Danger" is actually crap. Like, come on. You have a band whose song titles with Bon Scott include "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" and "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)", and here's a song going, "Don't talk to strangers; keep away from the danger, yeah?" No. After going through songs from Fly on the Wall that got the faint blessing of the music video, I came across "Stand Up", which was much more in-character to the band's masculinity. I was lucky to have ten good cuts here, the same amount as their previous works with Johnson; I think I almost scraped the bottom of the barrel.
While AC⚡️DC never changed their sound much over the years, the results still sound uniform, as they continued the pop metal that began with Back in Black. It looks like they couldn't gain attention for more than five minutes, but they can still craft some tight, semi-slick numbers. Even after using the extended mix of "Who Made Who", the album is still under 40 minutes, but the replay value is very tight. This package is worth it, especially since it has one of the best sequences I have given to a track list; not only does it flow so naturally, but if you look hard enough, you can make out a little story going across about half of the album. God, I even get some clean nostalgia from this; imagine speedrunning an NES title with this on. Yeah, AC⚡️DC in the '80s was never a bad thing. This is non-stop goody good rock and roll, and sometimes, good rock tends to be the best. An 8.5⚡️10. (Compiled on February 15, 2024. Sequenced on February 17 and publicly released on February 21.)

Greenwich Gays: Village People, '77 – '79 ⭐️
editAn attempt at a greatest hits collection comprising the Village People's first and best era: Their original tenure with leader Victor Willis, translating to their first four studio albums. I figured that the tight 1LP of hits I was going to compile would basically have 2/3rds of every good song in the group's discography, and maybe I'm right. I included what Acclaimed Music has noted, brought aboard the commercial hit "Go West", added the group's title track, and the sequencing pretty much wrote itself in 20 minutes. Especially given that "San Francisco (You've Got Me)" and "Macho Man" have second parts. There are even respective themes for the record sides: Side one is about the California Dream, and side two is about gay pride. All tracks are the parent album mixes, let's get concise about it.
Despite the now stereotypical gay disco cheesiness, I enjoyed the Village People a lot more than I expected. Besides that these are really good disco songs, the pride themes aged well, especially considering disco's historical significance in bringing everyone of all identities together, especially with blacks and queers. To my surprise, "I Am What I Am" almost brought me to tears when I first heard it. The replayability is strong. I titled the playlist after the group's origin in Greenwich Village and their association with gay pride. Here's a potential art cover from the White Night riots. Playlist created on November 23-28, 2021. Publicized on June 1, 2022.

Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus as released on DVD-Audio in May 2001. This release not only includes the condemned yet beloved B-side "Silver Springs", but properly integrates it into the track listing while moving "Songbird" to become the album's closer. I find this the definitive version of Rumours because of the effects in sequencing: "Silver Springs" ends the first side on a harsher note and continues if not heightens the estranged intensity in side two, and "Songbird" presents greater catharsis as the concert closer. Meanwhile, by moving "Silver Springs" to the same side as "Dreams" and "Songbird" to the same side as "You Make Loving Fun" and "Oh Daddy", Rumours strengthens as a double-arc concept album: Side one revolves around the bitterness between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and side two goes into Christine McVie's journey. Also, "Silver Springs" is a hell of a riposte to the equally legendary "Go Your Own Way". What a single. Track durations based on the 2004 remaster.
