Comment:

This mix idea came to me over three years ago, but I never got around to putting it together until the making of my Classical mix inspired me to resurrect it. At the urging of tornadoZ in his comment below, I've decided to include a link to a 90meg mp3 file (160kbps) to this mix (conected to the first song listed). Hope you enjoy!

this looks wonderful, would love to hear it. glad to see that Air Supply song stuck in there, and something from Jesus Christ Superstar too! do you have any Jim Steinman? (writer of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All") I found one of his records the other week; it's full of his trademark shreiking vocals, percussive explosions, etc. it would fit right in.
