Wow!!! dude you won all sorts of respect from me, Camel is one of the best and forgotten prog bands of the 70's

Camel rules. One of my favorites of theirs is actually the most recent they put out, 'A Nod And A Wink'...a testament to the consistency of Andy Latimer through the years.

I have to confess til I started reading Classic Rock Magazine I thought the band had been defunct for decades, it is know that band is still creating quality music.

Ohhhh, THE CARS! Good addition.

The Cars: Candy-O
always loved that song.

Moxy - Ridin High
Baker Gurvitz Army - Mad Jack
The Godz - Gotta Keep A Runnin

I agree. I don't like a lot of prog stuff, but I love Rush and I love Camel.



Good call Orion.

Ult:

cool that you included The Outlaws and Edgar Winter and many other lesser known but crutial bands. I also liked the fact that on most of those you didnt pick the obvious hits, like who wants to see another "K-Tel Records" compilation again, ya know. Some of those were the non-trendy picks but the fans are like "cool, glad you picked that song".

Man, I LOVE putting together mixed CD's. In my care, I have several cases with about 180 cds I have mixed over the years. I'm not exaggerating. I like the mixes you have so far... I might include a CD called "Origin of the Species" where you could focus with bands from the 60s, Stones, Beatles, Who, Kinks, Cream, Hendrix, Byrds, stuff like that. I would definitley also include one that has some of the rockers from the early 80's. You can definitely fill up a disk with Glam rock and Proto Punk... some Bowie, Lou Reed, the Stooges, Mott the Hoopla. The possibilities are endless! I have mixed cd's that have songs that have the world "Crazy" in it, and some that have titles with women's names.

Disc 2-All Men Play on Ten: Led Toward a Deeper Shade of Sabbat

1. Black Sabbath-Children of the Grave
2. Led Zeppelin-The Wanton Song
3. Deep Purple-Child In Time
4. Mountain-Mississippi Queen
5. Uriah Heep-Gypsy
6. Alice Cooper-Halo of Flies
7. Slade-Mama Wear all Crazee Now
8. David Bowie-Cracked Actor
9. T. Rex-Metal Guru
10. The Sweet-Fox on the Run
11. Aerosmith-Toys in the Attic
12. KISS-Strutter
13. Ted Nugent-Snakeskin Cowboys
14. The Runaways-Cherry Bomb
