Comment:

Today's eliminations are:
80. Thin Lizzy - "Johnny The Fox" (1976) (#126 - 11/1/08)
81. The Rolling Stones - "Let It Bleed" (1969) (#126 - 11/1/08)
82. Montrose - "Montrose" (1973) (#126 - 11/1/08)
83. Manic Street Preachers - "Generation Terrorists" (1992) (#126 - 11/1/08)

(One might consider the Stones' "Let It Bleed" to be a "sort-of" elimination, on account of my using the 1970 live version of "Midnight Rambler" instead of the studio version, and the single version of "Honky Tonk Women" instead of the acoustic "Country Honk". But I'm counting it as an "elimination" regardless!)

"Hey Hey, What Can I Do" - And with this song, that pretty much wraps it up as far as the Led Zeppelin catalogue is concerned! Granted, I've used the "Coda" version of "I Can't Quit You Baby" instead of the version on their self-titled debut, the live version of "The Rain Song" from "The Song Remains The Same" instead of the studio version from "Houses Of The Holy" and the hybrid version of "Moby Dick / Bonzo's Montreux" from the 1990 box set instead of the separate versions. (Also, I just might use their Eddie Cochran covers from the BBC collection one of these days!) But aside from that, I think I can count Led Zeppelin as my first "band elimination"! :-)

"Frownland" < "Impact" < "Warmer Hands" < "The Storm" - Well...what can I say, really? I've always wanted to use the opening track from "Trout Mask Replica" in a mix, but the whole trouble with that album - at least for me - is that it's very difficult for me to find some sort of context for any of the songs, since it makes everything else in my collection sound so...conventional by comparison! So I figured I'd couple the Beefheart number with something else extremely...out there - namely the opening sequence from "Story of I," the solo debut from Swiss prog keyboard wizard Patrick Moraz (of Refugee, Yes and Moody Blues fame). The sequencing of Beefheart and Moraz is not necesssarily 100% successful, I'll readily grant that, because they're stylistically so very different. But frankly, I couldn't think of anything else that would make sense!

"Procession" < "Back In The U.S.S.R." < "Comin' Home" - Okay, okay, I'll admit it: I blundered bigtime! "Comin' Home" should have come right after "Procession," and then "Back In The U.S.S.R."! :-( Oh well, this sort of works too, I suppose... (If there are any Moody Blues fans out there, they'll definitely remember the opening track from "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour"!)

"Sitting On Top Of The World" - A late addition to the mix. Another song I wanted to include couldn't make it in because it was ultimately too long, so I had to brainstorm really quick to come up with a substitute. I figured I hadn't used anything by Cream in a while, and I liked this blues cover song a lot, so I thought it would work effectively as a subsitute. (Although if I had to do it over again, I would put this song in between the Screaming Trees and Rush tracks!)

"Dream Warriors" - Has anyone ever seen the video for this song? It's a real hoot! It's got Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger and the very young Patricia Arquette (in what I do believe was her debut film role) as the young heroine of "A Nightmare On Elm Street, Part III", both interacting with the members of Dokken (singer Don Dokken, guitarist George Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Mick Brown). Like so many other movie tie-in videos, it mixes scenes from the film with the band miming to their song. Ultimately, the mighty Dokken manages to repel and overcome the evil Freddy with the power of R-O-C-K!! Then, at video's end, we see Freddy bolt upright in band (clutching a Raggedy Ann-style doll - ha, ha!) going, "What a nightmare! Who were those guys?!" (Ha, ha, ha!)
