You need to add "Everybody's got to Live" to that compilation! "If you start laughin' you're just a coward!"

[STE]

Ah! I love the idea!! 

But I would include:

- 'Til I Die
- Hold On Dear Brother
- It's Over Now
- Still I Dream Of It

and of course "Winter Symphony" !

[Shane]

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

That song list cracks me up!   

[lance]

I totally agree. They should start putting out depressing songs in the winter and happy songs in the summer. Every year. With one or two stereo mixes to keep people buying. And each one should be louder than the last. aNd there should be club mix mixes. Too.

[Aegir]

Winter Symphony!

[Lady]

And maybe add:

I'm So Lonely
Lonely Sea
Let the Wind Blow
In The Back of My Mind

And heavy metal mixes, also...with loud, thrashing guitars and drums, and growling vocals overdubbed by none other than the members of Metallica.
Duh duh duh duh duh THEEEEESE THIIIIIIINGS IIIIIIII'LLLL BEEEEEE UUUUUNTIIIIILLLL IIIIII DIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!! duh duh duh duh duh

Somewhere, Mike Love gets another idea for a Beach Boys album.... 

[Pretty Funky]

Haven't you guys learnt anything!

Rule number 1. The hits, nothing but the hits, only the hits, people want to hear hits, summer means hits, hits get released only in summer!

Bring out another Summer compilation of Beach Boys summer hits. Brilliant!!!

Say after me and repeat. 'Don't Fcuk With The Formula'.

[The Shift]

Love the idea, and how timely too -  after all, in 24 days time the nights start getting longer!

That is depressing.  I hadn't thought of it that way.   Just when I was adjusting to the days getting longer.

And not only is the day going to be shorter, it will get hotter and hotter and hotter for another 4 months.

Time to paint the windows black and set the air conditioning to 58 degrees F., eat coldcuts, and watch Ice Station Zebra.

SJS, shouldn't Santa Ana Winds go on the fire mix?

[Sheriff John Stone]

SJS, shouldn't Santa Ana Winds go on the fire mix?

Yeah, probably.

I was just looking for "wind" songs to go along with "let the wind blow", "feel the wind blow through my limbs", and "I'm a leaf on a windy day". And "Winds Of Change" wasn't "windy" enough....

I dunno...  seems like plenty o' hot air around here to me! 

[donald]

Ah yes!  Its a mighty wind!

8. A Young Man Is Gone (new stereo remix)

As far as I know, this can't be done for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I believe it was recorded in mono (vocal track dubbed over another, rather than across two tracks of a 3-track tape); and, more to the point, only the mono mix exists now. So short of slathering it in delay and reverb to create an awful pseudo-stereo, not much could be done.

Again, I believe the above to be true, but am happy to be corrected if anybody knows better.

Not a bad compilation. I'd leave "Tears In The Morning" off, though - it's never struck me as being 'moody' as much as 'emetic.'
