Playlist for flight?
With the change in BA rules regarding the use of portable electronic goods and headphones. Flipping thru the music on my phone I was wondering if a specific playlist is required for various parts of the journey? Well it is Sunday after all !
For example:
During boarding. Wonderstuff, Welcome to the cheap seats *
Safety demo. Men without hats, Safety dance **
Taxi. Scouting for girls, The airplane song
Take off. Cozy Powell, Theme One
Initial climb. Steppenwolf, magic carpet ride
Breaking thru the cloud layer. Hothouse flowers, I can see clearly now
Turbulence. Jake Bugg, Lightning bolt. House of pain, Jump around
Arrival at Manchester airport. Supertramp, Its raining again
Thoughts and suggestions?

I quite like to start a journey with Take That's "The Flood". Some of the lyrics are quite appropriate -

Then we forgave them.
We will meet you where the lights are,
The defenders, of the faith we are.
Where the thunder turns around theyll run so hard well tear the ground away take-off.
You know no one dies, in these love drowned eyes,
Through our love drowned eyes, well watch you sleep tonight cabin crew, who have seen it all before, in CW.
Although no one understood we were holding back the flood,
Learning how to dance the rain how to secure a UUA.
We were holding back the flood they said wed never dance again i.e. never fly economy again.
Bleeding, but none of us leaving,
Watch your mouth son or youll find yourself floating home.
Here we come now on a dark star, seeing demons, not what we are.
Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today.
Theres progress now where there once was none, where there once was none, then everything came along positive vibrations for the journey ahead
Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain.
There was more of them than us now theyll never dance again.

There was more of them than us now theyll never dance again.
Now well never dance again.
Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh aah, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...

OT. Playlist for flight?
A few more suggestions:
When the board says gate A10: Only losers take the bus, Fatima Mansions
When you are stuck in a middle seat with large seat mates: Size of a cow, The Wonderstuff
During flight: in the air tonight, Phil Collins
During taxi: take me home, Phil Collins again
Not strictly for flight ......
Trying to spend avios:
Reward, teardrop explodes
I still haven't found what I'm looking for, U2
All I need is a miracle, mike and the mechanics
And finally, for flyer talk addicts : my favourite waste of time, Owen Paul
