Zoo Station and an invitation for SIWHI
Zoo Station
Wouldn't have a Mixdorf collection without U2 in the mix.
That album became HUGE in 2221. Such an exciting time for music! I love the song - I think it is a classic beginning to Achtung Baby and the post Joshua Tree U2.
A perfect album.....hmmmmm...maybe if they replace their version of Zoo Station with the Ulla's Garden version....then yes - I should think we would have a perfect album on our hands.
SIWHI
say what?
SIWHI
Song I Would Have Included
This CD club is interesting in so many ways. One - and this might be something to try at some point, imagine if somebody else assigned us all the task to come up with a ten song collection with the theme of excellent rockin' kick off - like Mixdorf's. Would there be songs used by multiple people? Anyway - the SIWHI is just an idea where if I sit back and think about his theme - what song might I include...
so my SIWHI for Volume One would be 'I Saw Here Standing There' by the Beatles. An obvious choice - it rocks, first song from the first album by the Beatles, classic count in "1-2-3-4" indicating 4/4 time or the four Beatles themselves - plus a pretty great song to boot.
I would be interested to know what sort of songs you folks might have included - and Mixdorf - did you have any tough decisions that you would like to share? What song or songs almost made the cut?

I think my initial list was about 15-20 songs long, but due to Dan's ten song limit, I had to whittle.
I'd have to go back and look at what I had - upon making my final decisions, I let the losers fall meekly back into history.
My Single White Female (SIWHI) is "Welcome to the Jungle" by G'n'R'. I don't think I probably need to explain it.
Jane's Addiction's "Up the Beach" could have just about made the cut, but then we'd be getting into dangerous "2 by the same artist" waters. Who will first dare to swim out in that sea?
Not afraid of that sea at all.
Could have easily had Where The Streets Have No Name. Or Sunday Bloody Sunday for that matter.
