Summary: the Robins decided that Damian needs a broader music education and put together a playlist. The meme is to make up that list.

“Dick?” Steph hissed, crossing the dressing room, her guitar held threateningly above her head. “Tell me there’s a good reason you’re playing with my iThing?”

Dick didn’t bother looking up as he thumbed though her playlists. “D needs an update on his musical education. I wanted to see what you had.”

Steph put her guitar down and flopped onto the couch with him, draped herself over the lead singer as she lifted the player from Dick’s hand. “If he needs modern pop music I’ve got plenty. I think he got the Lady Gaga thing after the show but...”

Dick reached for Tim’s laptop, resting a hand on Steph’s hip so he didn’t unseat her. “He needs older stuff too...Beatles, Beach Boys, some Dylan maybe.” He punched at the keys wildly, getting no reaction from the compact little computer.

“Break that and I’ll kill you.” Tim growled, putting down his bass. “What are you trying to do?”

“Educational playlist for Damian.” Steph muttered.

“Clearly he needs some Sex Pistols.” Jay called, following Tim in. He shed his jacket and started flicking though his CD collections. “Some Metallica wouldn’t hurt?”

Here the meme bit – what goes on the playlist? Who picked it and why? Why happened when they played it for him?

Help me out here guys! Damian needs our help.

My selections thus far–

Tim’s pick.
All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix. Incredible guitar work. Tim would sit there with his eyes closed, swaying along to the music.

Dick’s pick.
God Only Knows, Beach Boys. Just because. Dick would start joking around, singing it to all of the Robins and flirting but catching on Tim, really getting lost to the lyrics as he fell to his knees, really, really singing it to him – the passion and protectiveness.

If you should ever leave me,
‘though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

Jason’s pick.
Nothing Else Matters, Metallica.
Kashmir, Led Zeplin.
Jason wouldn’t explain either but go hardcore on the air-drums.

I have nothing for Steph but I’m sure you guys have better thoughts there than me.

Aargh lj ate my comment! éè

So I was saying: Tim canonically listen to the Clash. Some REM in his pick (there's no playlist without REM) - their 'First we take Manhattan' cover, then Losing my religion. Genesis' Land of Confusion?

Dick would pick some old school Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), Ashes to Ashes.

Steph - I don't think she'd listen to japanese pop/rock music, so Gorillaz, The Cranberries (zombies), Lauren Hill (Killing me softly), and Mika. Some Marianne Faithful and the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction too maybe. Wu-tang Clan. Bat for Lashes - she'd share with Tim and Dick.

Jason: The Immigrant Song, and Alice Cooper, and AC DC, and Guns and Roses. The Doors (Riders of the Storm, The End, Alabama Song). Nine Inches Nails and A Perfect Circle cover of Imagine right after Dick made Damian listen to the original.

I'll stop now.

Ooh! I love your selections!

I didn't know that about Tim and the Clash. That’s so cool. (I now have visions of him singing London Calling with his head down and his hands in his pockets.) I agree – REM is a must.

With Dick and Bowie, I can see him having very much a Ziggy phase. There’s something a little too glam about that boy some days.

Steph rocking out to the opening song of Pulp Fiction. Oh yess! That works far too well. I can imagine Damian sitting on the floor attempting to ignore her while listening.

And I all of them I seem to share Jason’s taste most. Good solid old school rock.

Thank you so much! I really love your list. At some point I may go mad and see if I can compile these into a downloadable soundtrack.

The Clash bit was pretty funny and it's in a Robin issue somewhere - Tim was putting his stuff in his room at the manor, listening to The Clash. Alfred comes in and ask what this horrible screeching is, and it's Bruce who answer him. Alfred refuses to believe London produced such horrible noise, Bruce and Tim bond. (gah, I miss my comics.)

Lol, Dick would want to sing on stage dressed as Ziggy XD

Good old school rock is the best. Oh, I totally forgot, Iron Man by Black Sabbath. :D On repeat.
