I've been meaning to post more of these as I come across them. The premise is that I've got the "Genius" feature in iTunes set to only pull from my library, and occasionally it gives me something particularly worthwhile. I'm still not totally sold on the concept -- too many repeat artists and albums for my liking, and a tendency to pick the same songs for different Genius lists that don't seem as related as Apple seems to imply. I've had about four of five different ones that included "Keep The Car Running" from Arcade Fire.
On that last point, this list actually turned out pretty similar to the one for "Sunday Papers," but it gets a bit more proggy, which adds some nice flavor.
"Face the Face" (Pete Townshend)
"Let It Roll" (Little Feat)
"Talk To Ya Later" (The Tubes)
"The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (live)" (Genesis)
"Leave It" (Yes)

"Give Blood" (Pete Townshend)
"Satisfaction Guaranteed" (The Firm)

"Looking For Clues" (Robert Palmer)
"Long Live Rock" (The Who)
"Sunday Papers" (Joe Jackson)
