Tale of the Tape
Ipod 120
8370 songs (725 albums)
I usually work a double shift Saturday night into Sunday morning so good Metal music is a must on the overnight. I usually listen to a lot of new albums but I have to start the overnight (the 2nd part of my long shift) with some familiar tracks to get the blood pumping. Here’s the first 20 songs (band-song-album-year):

Hey Steve, that’s a very good playlist. I noticed the Quiet Riot song from QR III. I’m not a huge QR fan, but I have recently heard a song off of that album (twice I’ve heard it recently) called (I think) Twilight Hotel (sorry if that’s the wrong title). I really, really like that song. I looked up QR III on Amazon and it’s somewhat steep, maybe out of print. What do you think? Is the album worth further investigation?
I would check out QR III because it’s a pretty good album. I’ve had it since it came out in ’86, and I was a big Quiet Riot fan growing up, so I think it’s a solid record but I sometimes get wrapped up in the nostalgia of the record compared to a discerning ear in 2011. ‘Twilight Hotel’ was the second single and second video and it’s a solid ballad. The thing to remember with QR III is that the band was trying to keep up with the other bands: glam outfits, keyboards, trying to write the quintessential power ballad, more commercial sound.

Check out the review I wrote a few years ago as part of Quiet Riot Week. Also, I wouldn’t pay for it on Amazon, keep looking in the used CD stores or try Ebay, I wouldn’t do more than $10.
Yep, we finally have a used CD store here so I’ll keep looking there. Thanks for the info, I’ll try to get to the reviews soon.
Good Mixtape! Cool website just found it!

Very cool playlist! Maybe you will like our old school rock… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQtKwe0C3tc
Rock on!
Like the mix! Curious why you started w/ 2 Dio tracks back-to-back, rather than spread them out…
I should do more posts like this on my blog too.
