As a way of introducing yourself to the board, what would be on the soundtrack to your life?

Pick songs (metal or otherwise) that either have significance to different periods in your life, or else sum up those periods, then arrange them into a 74 or 80 minute CD.

Cheers!

1. Born to Raise Hell - Motorhead (I start with this one because there has never been a song called "Born to Headbutt People When He's Drunk")

2. School Days - AC/DC (Off to school like a good little boy...)

12. I'll Talk My Way Out of It - Stuttering John (No matter how much trouble I got in, I could generally talk my way out of it. Maybe that's why I eventually went into psychiatry)

14. Big Dictionary - Faster Pussycat (...and of course she just loves me for my big dic...tionary. Hey, 'cause I'm a pretty smart guy and all)

18. Theme from Married with Children (Love and marriage, you can't have one without the other. Okay the kids are still on the way. So my wife and I got married before taking the...)

19. Highway to Hell - AC/DC (Because they don't have a song called "Flight to Toronto", but this seemed close enough)

20. Psycho Therapy - Skid Row (Now I sit in my office, giving psychotherapy...maybe I should get some myself)

21. Want You Bad - The Offspring (...at least my wife thinks I should get some therapy for my fetishes...oops, maybe I've revealed too much again :lol: )

22. Tester - Anthrax (I change, by staying the same...still listening to heavy metal after all these years while watching the other trends come and go)

I think I'd need a triple album to sum up everything.
 
I'm currently working on an album that will sum up my University years. ie. "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers", "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", "If You Don't Start Drinking (I'm Going to Leave)", "Have a Drink on Me", "More Beer", etc etc
