You nailed it Rick Stark! I'd love to see the cd myself. I guess we could always burn our own copy!

Hey Rick you missed Beware of Darkness, but then again it is hard to choose songs from an album like ATMP

[RickStark79]

Beware Of Darkness was the last one I cut -- I had too many. What else would you get rid of instead of that one?

It is okay what you have chosen, Rick !

[kylestyle]

ATMP is such an amazing album, I would have sure made Beware Of Darkness fit somewhere.

where is "see yourself" and "beautiful girl" from 33/third...?

[chris]

I think this topic just goes to show how under-rated ANd how under-appreciated George has been. Nearly all of the songs mentioned have been awesome.

[RickStark79]

where is "see yourself" and "beautiful girl" from 33/third...?

Those are my two favorite songs from 33 1/3, but the four that I put on there were all singles, so I would figure those should be included. If I had my choice though, I would definitely put those two ahead of True Love!
