The Complete Guide To Downloading #2 - If You Like...

Dear old vintage iPods, dear old vintage Gallaghers

These playlists are little, but good.
In 2005, people from Q, Mojo and Kerrang! allied to publish The Complete Guide To Downloading, a 150-pages magazine filled with playlists about... everything. It was a fantastic guide for the downloading era. I think it's definitely worth in the age of streaming, too. 
Today, I spotified the playlists from the section "If You Like...", where songs were chosen for their connections/influences/similarities with modern anthems like Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out, Kaiser Chiefs' I Predict a Riot, Coldplay's Fix You and OutKast's Hey Ya! (yes, it was 2005...).
Nine little playlists and, at the bottom, a big mammoth collecting them all.
Enjoy!

Stay in touch with the new playlists!
