It’s too loud and I’m too old

So I made a big pile of CDs to rip into my MP3 player, which I basically only use at the gym… and I realized that the pile amounts to a kind of a best-of list of my CD collection. Now, before I continue, know that, because of its destination as soundtracks to my thrice-weekly trudge-a-thons on the elliptical trainer, it’s fairly biased towards the loud and aggressive (or at least, towards stuff as unlikely to make me all mopey as it is likely to drown out Planet Granite’s satellite radio). But nonetheless, herewith, in no order:
- Poster Children, DDD
- Faith No More, Angel Dust
- Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out
- Wagon Christ, Tally Ho!
- Viva Voce, Lovers, Lead the Way!
- Viva Voce, The Heat Can Melt Your Brain
- Versus, Two Cents Plus Tax
- Talking Heads, Fear of Music
- Soul Coughing, Ruby Vroom
- Sleater-Kinney, All Hands On The Bad One
- Stereolab, Emperor Tomato Ketchup
- Primal Scream, XTRMNTR
- DJ Shadow, Entroducing
- Optiganally Yours, Exclusively Talentmaker!
- Orbital, In Sides
- My Bloody Valentine, Loveless
- The New Pornographers, Electric Version
- Mates of State, My Solo Project
- Low, The Great Destroyer
- Jawbox, Jawbox
- Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Hearts of Oak
- Death Cab for Cutie, Something About Airplanes
- Interpol, Antics
- Solid Steel Presents The Herbaliser, Herbal Blend
- The Helio Sequence, Love and Distance
- Helium, The Dirt of Luck
- El-P, Fantastic Damage
- The Go! Team, Thunder, Lightning, Strike
- Emergency Broadcast Network, Telecommunication Breakdown
- Citizens Here And Abroad, Ghosts of Tables and Chairs
- Bentley Rhythm Ace, Bentley Rhythm Ace
- Boards of Canada, Music Has The Right to Children
- Clinic, Internal Wrangler
- The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Orange
- The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Remixes Experimental
- Aphex Twin, Richard D. James Album

There may be a couple things missing because I’ve ripped them already. Or just didn’t pull them or can’t find them or whatever.
