My new "Best of the Best" CD

[Dr. Love]

Okay. Lately, I've felt the need to get back into a more VH routine in my listening habits. I have to admit -- I have lately been discouraged and hadn't been listening to any VH.

Today, I happened to hear Can't Get This Stuff No More, and my desire to listen to The Good Stuff was reignited. I decided I needed a new compilation CD to listen to on the way to work, and on the way home. I've got a blank 80 minute CD sitting here. I just gotta pick the tracks.

So here's the deal -- I'll list all my favorite songs from each CD with the time stamps. I gotta get this list down to 80 minutes (1:20) and right now I'm at 118 minutes and 51 seconds.

I want to get as close to 80 minutes as possible.

So here's the songs:

From Van Halen

Runnin' With The Devil (3:33)
You Really Got Me (2:36)
I'm The One (3:44)
Feel Your Love Tonight (3:40)
Little Dreamer (3:20)
Ice Cream Man (3:17)
On Fire (2:58)

From Van Halen II

Dance the Night Away (3:03)
Somebody Get Me a Doctor (2:50)
Outta Love Again (2:49)
Beautiful Girls (3:54)

From Women and Children First

Everybody Wants Some!! (5:06)
Fools (5:54)
Romeo Delight (4:17)
Could This Be Magic? (3:07)
In a Simple Rhyme... (4:37)

From Fair Warning

Dirty Movies (4:04)
Sinner's Swing (3:04)
Hear About It Later (4:30)
Unchained (3:27)
So This Is Love? (3:04)
Push Comes To Shove (3:45)

From Diver Down

Where Have All The Good Times Gone? (3:02)
Dancing In The Streets (3:43)
The Full Bug (3:15)
Happy Trails (1:05)

From 1984

Panama (3:29)
Top Jimmy (2:58)
Hot For Teacher (4:41)
Girl Gone Bad (4:32)

From Best Of, Vol I

Can't Get This Stuff No More (5:11)
Me Wise Magic (6:01)



So... help me eliminate some, please. :(

[DLR7884]

Take off Happy Trails.

For the purpose of your CD, it's a waste of 1:05

[Figs]

Here's the 39 minutes I'd take off

Can't Get This Stuff No More (5:11)
Could This Be Magic? (3:07)
Dancing In The Streets (3:43)
Fools (5:54)
Happy Trails (1:05)
In a Simple Rhyme... (4:37)
Me Wise Magic (6:01)
Push Comes To Shove (3:45)
Top Jimmy (2:58)
Where Have All The Good Times Gone? (3:02)

[Vivian Campbell]

Not sure how this works out time wise, but I would eliminate:

Little Dreamer (3:20)
Ice Cream Man (3:17)
Could This Be Magic? (3:07)
Push Comes To Shove (3:45)
Happy Trails (1:05)
Top Jimmy (2:58)
Girls Gone Bad

I was having the same problem. I just ended up with a two cd best of. VH has too many hits and it would hard to leave any of them out in the cold.

[Flash Bastard]

No man, just get a 6 CD changer in your trunk and put the original 6 pack in it. Hit the random button and enjoy.

That's what I did.

[Dr. Love]

Actually, I've been looking at putting a removable hard disk drive into my car, hooking it into my stereo system and dumping all the cds on there.

As for the songs I wound up taking off, they were:

Runnin' With The Devil (3:33)
Little Dreamer (3:20)
Everybody Wants Some!! (5:06)
In a Simple Rhyme... (4:37)
Dirty Movies (4:04)
Sinner's Swing (3:04)
Unchained (3:27)
Where Have All The Good Times Gone? (3:02)
Dancing In The Streets (3:43)
Top Jimmy (2:58)

I wound up right at 79 minutes and some change.

[DLR7884]

You left Happy Trails on, but removed Runnin' With The Devil?

DLR7884
What a waste.

[Dr. Love]

It's all math. Even if I removed Happy Trails, I didn't have enough time for Runnin' With the Devil.

And I like Happy Trails.

[DLR7884]

WELL IT'S YOUR CD.
