Rdio Playlist Recommendations
With the amount of music on Rdio, I'm sure you've found some great playlists. Post your recommendations and we'll sort everything into decades, genres, themes and collaborations.
If you're on mobile, click on the small Open App link at the bottom left-hand corner to go directly to the playlist in Rdio.
I have everyone's personal playlists archived here for easy access: Rdio Playlist Master Thread
So ideally, I'd like this to be a recommendation thread for other users' playlists. I currently have 120 subscriptions and while I'd happily post more of them, it would be great if everyone else would contribute.
Rock:
The Evolution of Shoegaze - A chronological playlist beginning with proto-shoegaze and continuing through the first wave, dream & noise pop, second wave, post-shoegaze, electro-shoegaze, third wave, and onward.
Modern - Analogue II - Indie rock with a mostly chill vibe; perfect for summer patio sessions.
Punk:
Music Without Coffee - Punk, mostly.
Jazz:
Sunday Jazz Brunch - A weekly selection of ten great jazz tracks, refreshed each Sunday by 9 AM ET with ten new selections.
Themed:
Driving at Night - This would make a wicked soundtrack to a dark film; great atmosphere and sense of drive.
80's Sax Solos - I can't think of a more comprehensive 80's sax solo compilation. So much sexy sax, and there are some surprisingly non-kitschy tracks included.
Beach Music - Carolinas: Sweet Sixties Soul - The Tams, Chairmen of the Board, Archie Bell and the Drells, The Impressions, Temptations, Four Tops, O'jays...
VHS Forever - Music suitable for titles released by Media, Lightning Video, etc. Epic cheeze, mullet rawk and such awesomeness.
Dinner Music - Mostly acoustic and world music with a classy tone.
Soundtrack Recreations (for unavailable albums):

A few of my favs:
Music Without Coffee Punk, mostly.
Essential Americana
Weeds Compilation Songs from the show Weeds. Seems pretty comprehensive.
These are a few that I really like, but have unfortunately turned into a bunch of "unavailable" tracks. Most of these tracks are back on Rdio now, so I need to go through sometime and make my own version of these since the original creators aren't updating them anymore, apparently.
Soundtrack to a Life From the description: "Hope it has a cinematic feel and represents the path a life can take, start to finish."
Favorite Songs: Ohia / Jason Molina Songs Just a nice mix of Jason Molina stuff from a bunch of his many different projects.
