My only change would be to take "Melody" out and put the old Alien Project track "Harmony" in - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj1JMSX3ml0
If that song had been released in the mid-70s when it was originally recorded, "Harmony" would have been the cherry-popper soundtrack of the decade.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

To cure the accidental inclusion if IBAWY twice, I would make the IBAWY on the "Rocking" disc be the 94 FTLOSM tour version that kicks ass. Cool idea.

Amen! It's just gorgeous...and, it's even from a "Kramer" bootleg.

Would an extra space between the 8 and bracket fix that problem...though it might look weird...

There is nothing from the classic pre Escape era? An oversight or not enough Love?

Don't listen to much pre-Escape. Just not into it much.

Seriously, Andrew....I have all the songs, of course...but a compilation with definitive songs like that in my car would be ideal and worth buying (for us non-computer techs). I'll make a contribution to MR! :D

Great playlist.

(But a crime "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever" isn't on it -- what a song.)

Quite possibly Perry's finest vocal moment, IMHO.
My girlfriend said it was "too 80s" and "overdramatic" and subsequently experienced domestic abuse for the first time. :lol:

Christ Mac, I'm begining to question your judgement. HTF can you omit "Any Way You Want It" from the rocking disc? This is arguably the best rock song ever.

Second omission, "The Party's Over" from the chilling disc. Weeping Jesus on a pogo stick, that song may be the best song Journey has ever done. When written and performed by Christ himself, how can you argue that. :lol:

I think you've missed some brother. If you get a chance listen to Infinity, Evolution, Depature and Captured. There is a lot GREAT music there prior to Escape.

I've been all over those lately. Excellent stuff.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
