Comment:
A second mix of first songs from first albums. As before I focused on U.S. releases of albums only and not singles, EPs. etc and some of these songs appear on other mixes.
Feedback:
That is one messed up cover photo, George. As with Vol. 1, it's interesting to see the bands who really open their first albums with a powerful "declaration of purpose" -- I'd pick Zep, NY Dolls, Stone Rose, Blondie, and Floyd in particular here for accomplishing that. (In contrast to, say, The Who, who led with something that was already atypical of their sound by the time the album came out.)
Nice, George. I'm liking this series.
Really nice - but that cover creeps me right the hell out!
I'll up the ante from Rob -- I'm LOVING this series. Excellent! 3-14 is killer!
Very cool.
this series is very rocking. Keep them coming!
Oh my, you nailed this one-GREAT!
Good mix idea and an excellent choice of material.

This is excellent! Whenever I listen to The Stone Roses' debut, I'm always slightly disappointed that I Wanna Be Adored is first, as it's by far my favourite song of anything they've done, so the rest is a slight anti-climax - but, as you point out, what a wonderful first impression! Liking this whole series.
Great!!
Very nice stuff here, George. I was a BIG fan of that Bodeans album when I was in high school. Haven't listened to it in years, but it meant a lot to me at the time.
A nice Vol 2 here George...weird picture!
Another nice one. These mixes are making a nice impression on me.
oops, missed this one... Good again. I agree with 12vman on the pic.
