Comment:

I was listening to an early version of Big Star's "The Ballad of El Goodo" and it was in C. It just didn't sound like the same song to me, and it even lost a slight bit of its power. C# is probably my favorite key.Instant mix idea. It didn't take long to find all these songs (I originally had Debussy's "Clair de Lune" on here, too), but it did take a while to come up with a sequence.

I think you've found the key to a fine mix. (Claire de lune -- you're right, save that for C-sharpest.)

yeah, well, this was before he became the world's creepiest person ever. (i mean, you have to admit that "rock with you" is incredible... at least give me that.) seriously though, the guy IS effin' creepy.

Outstanding idea and execution..., and the Queen song hasn't been 'round here in a long time.
