Comment:

ATTENTION: I hadn't finished with #224 at the time I first posted it, but it's complete now! Perhaps people missed it because by the time I was finished, it had kind of drifted "off the charts," so to speak. Check it out and let me know what you think! :-)

"Astronomy" / "Good To Feel Hungry" - A cover of a classic Blue Oyster Cult tune from Metallica, and the most recent (to date) Blue Oyster Cult original!

"1970" (X 2) - Two blistering live covers of the Stooges classic. "I feel alright," indeed! :-)

"I'm Going Home" / "Keep A Knockin'" - Two more raucous live numbers, from Ten Years After and Mott The Hoople. The first may be credited to Alvin Lee, and the second may be a Little Richard cover, but they're both kind of mini-medleys of high-energy rock 'n' roll standards. (And coincidentally, both of them incorporate Elvis' "Mean Woman Blues"!)

"Love Sick" < "Looking For Love" < "Going On" < "It's So Hard" < "Brother Of Mine" < "Anytime" < "When I Get Home" - While I think that overall, DISC #1 came together perhaps a tad more cohesively and naturally - owing no doubt to the fact that I had been thinking about the running order for several days - I think there's something about the first half of DISC #2, starting with Dylan's "Love Sick," that totally works like gangbusters. The overall vibe is somewhat forlorn and melancholy - downbeat and not particularly aggressive at all - but gradually the pace picks up and the vibe becomes more upbeat and optimistic by the time we get to Journey and the Beatles.

Two eliminations today (#225 - 11/4/09):
Accept - "Balls To The Wall" (1984)
Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath) - "The Devil You Know" (2009)
