[kim]

You knew this was on it's way...

List 18 songs that you would put on one cd from all of your favourite "Various" artists.

Once again, doesn't matter if they fit timewise or not, it's all about the music!

Keep in mind...this is not a cd that you might be "into" today, but one that you would have to put up with on a desert island sorta deal.

Anything goes...rock, blues, disco, prog, metal...whatever...even if it's r.... rrrr...rrrrr.. sorry, I can't say the Rap word...DOH!!!!!!!... Even if it's that, we'll take your name into account and you will be dealt with accordingly...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...as always...just kidding kids!

Knock yourselves out.

Thanks
Kim

It's really hard for me to pick 18 songs I would like for a CD without some kind of a theme to narrow the field and put focus to the whole thing. I mean, if it's just songs I like, I could end up having Merle Haggard, Megadeth, Styx and Bonnie Tyler all in succession and, though I really do like all of them, they have no business being on the same CD together.
So, in the spirit of Classic Hard Rock, I'll keep everything here as Classic, as Hard (huh, huh, I said "hard") and as rockin' as I possibly can:

1-Blackfoot-Send Me An Angel
2-Pat Travers-Snortin' Whiskey
3-Foriegner-Head Games
4-Led Zeppelin-Trampled Underfoot
5-Ted Nugent-Dog Eat Dog
6-Queen-I want It All
7-Iron Maiden-Two Minutes To Midnight
8-Kansas-Miracles Out Of Nowhere
9-Styx-Renegade
10-Heart-Crazy On You
11-Deep Purple-Stormbringer
12-Lynyrd Skynyrd-That Smell
13-Bad Company-Runnin' With The Pack
14-Alice Cooper-No More Mr Nice Guy
15-The Who-You Better, You Bet
16-Rick Derringer-Rock'n Roll Hootchie Koo
17-Molly Hatchet-Flirtin' With Disaster
18-REO Speedwagon-Roll With The Changes

Not even necessarily my favorite songs by the above artists, but they are all classic and they all rock pretty hard. Plus, they sound like they belong together on one CD and I think I could listen to this one for a long, long time.
