MR

For this thread ( but not in real life ) I'm making a Styx CD to put in the
Car Stereo to help me stay awake on an "all-nighter" drive. It cant include any slow songs ( First Time would drive me right into the ditch ! )
or even songs with a slower start.

Here are the songs that jump to mind for me:

Midnight Ride
Born for Adventure
Put Me on
Jonas Psalter
I'm gonna Make You Feel it
You need Love
Miss America ( edit out opening keyboards )
The Grand Illusion
Lords of the Ring
Blue Collar Man
Rockin the Paradise ( edit out DDY in the beginning )


What am I missing ? and for fun, if you want to make a 2nd CD featuring other bands, go for it !

I made my own Styx live CD for a trip to Chicago four months ago....

Here's the track listing,

1. Blue Collar Man - At Rivers Edge

2 Everything Is Cool - At Rivers Edge

3. Lady - Return To Paradise

4. Brave New World - At Rivers Edge

5. Show Me The Way - Return To Paradise

6. Crystal Ball - StyxWorld

7. I am The Walrus - Big Bang Theory

8. Fooling Yourself - Return To Paradise

9 The Best Of Times - Caught In The Act

10. Heavy Water - At Rivers Edge

11. High Enough - StyxWorld

12. Come Sail Away - Return To Paradise

13. Renegade - Return To Paradise

14. Half Penny, Two Penny - StyxWorld

I bought all the songs from Rivers edge, StyxWorld, and I am The Walrus from Itunes...
