Tale Of The Tape:
Dell DJ 30 (1st gen)
3255 songs (275 full albums) 

I’ve been enjoying the Metal Blade Records 20th Anniversary Box Set for the last week or so. It’s an excellent box set:

• 9 CDs
• 141 songs
• 10 hours & 30 minutes long
• CD #10 is a bonus DVD of 23 videos
• full color historical booklet

So I dropped this in the Dell DJ so I could take it in the car and to the beach on vacation. It’s already in “shuffle mode” because of so many different bands and songs featured but the set goes chronologically. I like a broader scope so it’s shuffle time! Here’s the first 15 songs (band-song-year):

1. The Crown – ‘Crowned In Terror’ – 2002
2. Bitch – ‘Be My Slave’ – 1983
3. Riot – Sons Of Society – 1999
4. Fates Warning – ‘Guardian’ – 1986
5. Omen – ‘Holy Martyr’ – 1986
6. Brainstorm – ‘Meet Me In The Dark’ – 2001
7. Metallica – ‘Hit The Lights’ – 1982
8. Lizzy Borden – ‘Give’em The Axe’ – 1984
9. Vader – ‘Wings’ – 2000
10. Engine – ‘Alone’ – 1999
11. Witchkiller – ‘Day Of The Saxons’ – 1984
12. Cannibal Corpse – ‘Hammer Smashed Face’ – 1992
13. GWAR – ‘Slaughterama’ – 1990
14. Manowar – ‘Warriors Of The World United’ – 2002
