You wouldn't think that classic rock and dance music would be caught in the same room together, but when nobody's looking, those two little whores can't keep their hands off each other.

This playlist contains remixed, danceable versions of classic rock songs. Some are close to the original with a heavier drum track, some could be considered a cover, and some will leave you scratching your head.

If you're an open minded music fan who can enjoy both classic rock radio, and dance music, you'll surely appreciate these remakes. Heck, even if you just like a good gimmick there's entertainment value here.

The list includes songs by AOR staples like The Rolling Stones, Elton John, The Doors, The Police, David Bowie, ZZ Top, Steve Miller, Yes and others, but as re-tooled by the likes of Fatboy Slim, Dr. Dre, DJ Malibu, Nazz and more.

The Playlist:

1. Miss You (Dr. Dre Remix 2002) - The Rolling Stones

2. Listen To The Music (DJ Malibu Mix) - The Doobie Brothers 

3. Loving The Alien - David

If you've been reading the Y! Music Playlist Blog for any amount of time, you're probably aware that I'm fascinated with songs about death.  Whether it's the fear of death, or suicide, or murder, or car accidents, it's a subject that's a powerful foundation for the songwriter.

Everyone ponders mortality, and a song can express what words alone cannot when it comes to the eternal repose. I can dig any genre of music you could throw at me, but at my core, I'm a child of the modern rock or "alternative rock" movement born of the 1980s. It's just what I happened to listen to during my impressionable years before my musical tastes expanded to present levels.

What better way to celebrate my alternative rock roots and fascination with "death songs" than to create an alternative rock death song playlist? Well, this is it, and the end result includes songs about death, songs inspired by death, or songs that use death as a metaphor. It contains 19 heavyweight alt rock bands like The Pixies,

If you prefer alternative rock, this may be the Halloween playlist for you. It includes 13 shuddersome modern rock tracks that span the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Subjects covered in the playlist include vampires, bats, bones, zombies, voodoo, serial killers, ghosts, devils and death. Just what Dr. Jekyll ordered for your All Hallows Eve celebration.

I'm a fan of alternative rock from back when you could only hear it on college radio. The genre has since split into numerous sub genres, and today has become what it initially set out to counter. I tried to ignore the current state of alternative rock (ie: Adult Alternative, Alt Metal) and have instead focused on tracks that I feel are worthy and diverse.

The first song, the vampire classic "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" by Concrete Blonde, sets the mood for this hour-long ghoulfest. Other artists include Ween, The B-52's, Talking Heads, INXS, The Cranberries, Alice in Chains, Oingo Boingo and more.

My obvious first choice for an Indie music Halloween playlist was "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by the indie supergroup the North American Halloween Prevention Initiative.  The song was co-created by Islands and ex-Unicorns member Nicholas Diamonds, and was recorded using an ensemble that includes members of Arcade Fire, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, Sonic Youth, Les Savy Fav, Buck 65, Peaches and more. Profits from the single go to UNICEF, so you should really consider buying it if you have not already. Unfortunately, the song is no longer available on subscription music services, but you can check out the quirky video on YouTube.

You might think that when putting together a Halloween playlist based on genre, indie music would be difficult. Well, it really wasn't. There's a lot more darkness under the surface of the sensitive indie artist than you would think. This Halloween compilation starts with the Sufjan Stevens track "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are
