Comment:

Most double albums would make great single albums. Sometimes albums would make great EPs. Some albums would make great singles. This is a collection of tracks that fit the last two categories (in my opinion).

interesting idea - i can't agree with you about every album here, but quite a few, you're right, would be better if trimmed down to their essentials. this needs no trimming, as there's not a weak track here - great job.

This is, indeed, a good idea. Like Mr. Lombardi, I would argue with you about some of the albums that get your goat/vote. But it's hard to argue with the quality of those songs that made it onto the mix. To think, some folks don't like caramel...

Joining in w/ me noMate and Mr Lombardi, I'd have to toss in the odd (very) quid pro quo on some of the albums, but love the mix.Me, I like Flaming Butt Powder, a potent, dried mix of cumin, habenero and jalapeno.

this looks like a pretty awesome mix with terribly smart choices. basically, if we get this mix, there are 12 albums we won't have to buy, n'est pas?
