I was passed this meme, and it seemed an interesting idea. So I thought that it would be good to see what the twisted collective minds of NSG can make of it.

Basically there are six situations, and the idea is that you say what music would fit those situations for you. This does not mean that you have to include favorite or 'best' songs. Only that the songs chosen would, in some way, be appropriate to the situation.

Anyway here goes:

To enable you to concentrate while your neighbor practices the drums.
1 - Silence is Golden: Garbage
2 - Hit me with your Rhythm stick: Ian Dury and the Blockheads
3 - Tank: Emerson Lake & Palmer
