“Conquering Everything, Including The Aux”
Restless, ferociously competitive, and driven by a need to outdo not just his rivals but the legendary heroes of myth he idolised, particularly Achilles. He reportedly slept with a copy of the Iliad under his pillow.
Editor's note Alexander is believed to have listened to this entire playlist standing, declared The Final Countdown 'fitting, though Europe sounds like a country I have not yet personally subdued,' and immediately requested a list of any remaining unconquered streaming platforms.
The seven
- 01Power — Kanye West (2010)Conquered the known world by his early thirties and genuinely believed himself descended from Zeus. The confidence checks out.
- 02The Final Countdown — Europe (1986)He marched an army from Greece to India. Few songs capture the sheer audacity of that itinerary better.
- 03Lose Yourself — Eminem (2002)Cut the Gordian Knot rather than untie it, because losing was never an option he genuinely entertained.
- 04Centuries — Fall Out Boy (2014)Obsessed with eternal legacy and being 'remembered for centuries' — he named over twenty cities after himself to ensure it.
- 05Hurt — Johnny Cash (2002)Killed his closest friend Cleitus in a drunken rage and reportedly mourned him for days afterward, inconsolable.
- 06Run This Town — Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West (2009)He genuinely did run most of the known world by the end. This is simply accurate reporting.
- 07Don't Stop Believin' — Journey (1981)Wept, famously, because there were no more worlds left to conquer. This is the only song that could possibly follow that.
