Comment:

Another reformatting. Only two more to go! Another pretty solid collection. I must have subconsciously been on a Natural Born Kil-lers kick when I sequenced the first three songs on Disc #1. I mean, think about it: L7's Shitlist was kind of Mallory Knox (Juliette Lewis)'s theme from the movie, while the following number is Suede's Metal Mickey (Mickey of course being Woody Harrelson - mwa-ha-ha!).

But the thing about Disc #1 that I'm most proud of - again! - is the closing sequence: A slab of heavy-metal thunder from late-period Thin Lizzy about the Angel Of Death, Alice In Chains's tale of a Vietnam soldier defiant of death in Rooster, and another defiant soldier's tale in Van Der Graaf Generator's Scorched Earth!

Also, we've got the very last track ever recorded by The Beatles before their split in 1970: Fittingly enough, it's George Harrison's lament I Me Mine!

As far as Disc #2 is concerned, I don't quite have as much to say, beyond the fact that the all-time greatest prog-rock anthem starts things off, and that two of the greatest classic rock radio epics are included at the en-d, separated by a lovely King Crimson live improv.
