Great choices!

I am a huge Metallica Fan. Correction Up until their Load album.

So, my fav songs from them are actually instrumentals;

Call of Kutulu (sp)
Orion
To Live Is To Die

Hmm. Best song ever imo is To Live Is To Die instrumental.

This is weird -

RIP says "but not tonight" and "stripped"

I say: "Enjoy the silence" and "Photographic"

If we keep this listing up we can big up the whole back catalogues of hundreds of eighties bands.

Talk Talk is an excellent choice.

For REM I'd have to go with "Fall on Me" and "Begin the Begin". Basically the whole of Life's Rich Pageant, really.

And what about "anyone out there", Durannies?

Oh, and the first disc of "the wall" as well.

Excellent song! If we're including full discs now I add the 'Arena' cd, and 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

PLUS...

I heard someone mention Collective Soul.
Got Dosage somewhere, got to put that back on the multichanger!

That was probably me. ;D ANY CS cd on the changer is a must. Mine is full of CS & Pearl Jam, w/ a little Duran Duran thrown in for good measure.
