A very good choice of tracks indeed. I was impressed. However perhaps an example of something much heavier and more modern might have made an improvement. If you think you might like heavy metal but you are new to the genre, this album will show you what you've been missing. On the other hand, if you are already converted to the religion of rock and roll you could use this recording to similarly enhance the quality of someone else's life. My personal favourites are the Iron Maiden tracks: Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast. This music is surprisingly not dated, Iron Maiden played a sell-out concert to many thousands in Gothenberg earlier this year and it was even broadcast on the Swedish equivalent of BBC1! So this is an album for the young as well as the nostalgic. There are 36 tracks as you can find out by looking at "product details", too many to list here but my other favouriteds are: Ace of Spades by Motorhead, who I saw live a couple of weeks ago and are still very loud and fast; the ubiquitous Paranoid, by Black Sabbath; Wheels of Steel, by Saxon; Cum on Feel the Noize by Quiet Riot (although I prefer Slades version); War Pigs by Black Sabbath (anti-war song) and the Deep Purple classic Smoke on the Water; also How You Remind Me by Nickleback, who also feature on the soundtrack to Spiderman 2 with a different song that is just as worthy of being on this album (Hero). Probably a lot of people don't really know how much they would enjoy this music, so I hope this collection brings it home to them!

much better for the extra info. You could also mention a bit about the sounds of the tracks. Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Black Sabbath all sound different from each other so you could talk about the Iron Maidens twin guitar style, Motorheads speed or the dark overtones of Sabbath. Keep up the good work...Dave
