Comment:

And it's yet another reformatting! (Don't worry, folks. I've got something new brewing inside my head right now, and I'll post it sometime soon!) As with quite a few of my mixes, Disc #1 is kind of a mop-up exercise, throwing together a lot of songs that I had wanted to include on certain past discs, but I have to say that this one holds together more cohesively than it should, all things considered! This time around, we start off with a bang with the almost thrashy title track from Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy's final album, followed by an oft-overlooked gem from Soundgarden's indie years. And along the way we get a couple of cool soundtrack parodies of Bowie and the Beatles (you should be able to guess which ones!), a power-ballad from Buckcherry which I seldom hear all that often on the radio anymore, the Manics delivering probably the all-time greatest rock song about the subject of anorexia, Mick Jagger's first solo single (also from a soundtrack), and closing out the set we have a gem from the earlier, ill-fated reunion of Van Halen and David Lee Roth in '96. Disc #2 is also a tad uneven. I did get off to a strong start with the first four songs. (And as with the first half of this volume, we kick things off with the sound of "Thunder"! Ha, ha, ha...) We get a gem from "Queen II" sung by Brian May, as well as a lilting heavy-metal ballad in waltz time (and from Motorhead, no less!). And, as per usual, I think the closing sequence of four works rather nicely. But it's before that final four that things kind of go sideways: I personally think that R.E.M.'s "Cuyahoga" makes for an awkward fit in between KISS and Nugent, to say the least! And following up Suede's "Morning" with KISS' "Shout It Out Loud" really doesn't make much sense either. I mean, think about it: The o-pening line of the latter is: "When the night's begun / and you want some fun..." Like, what happened to all that time in between?? We seem to have lost an entire freaking afternoon!! Did I, like, black out or something?! :-)
