I have _Legend_ by Bob Marley which is 14 or so of his greatest hits. Most
of the songs on _Legend_ that are on the box set are in alternate mixes or
different versions. I don't think 80% is that bad. This box set is perfect
for me, as I don't have any other material by Marley.

On the back of the Mr Bungle album, there is a drawing of a man with his
head cut off, and he is holding his head in his hand.

I'd be interested in seeing some type of list. Usually if I hear something
familiar, I can't quite recall where I heard it the first time. If you
don't wanna start a "rain songs" discussion, send them to me privately.

You know, this is interesting. I first heard this CD by borrowing it from
a friend. I liked it, so I bought it myself. I figured that this was the
type of CD that would sound incredible with earphones. NOT! It sounds like
total crap - ticks and pops all over the place. I took the CD back 3 times
thinking the copy I got was defective. I ended up with a store credit, and
never found one without the defects.
...now I know.

So, anybody wanna sell me just the remastered release of _Animals_? :^)

I'm not expecting much from this album, mainly I'm just curious. But, thanks
to the CPMOD, I know it'll be released soon.

That'll be kinda hard since all my QR stuff is on CD. Gabe, guess what, you
just wasted your 50 cents. That ain't how you sign off the list. Get a clue,
and a life for that matter.

Are you the same Gabe that is on the Heavy Metal list? I'll make sure I make
a few comments over there about Queensryche just to make sure you know I love
ya. *SMOOOOOCH*

Seeya,
