Desert Island Diversion -- advanced level

[316/411]

Hi, guys. Long time.

Ready for an ecstatic migraine?

12 albums. 12 tracks for your desert island. You must pick one track from each album, and it must correspond to the track listing on its original album. This was agony for me, and I'm so happy to share the pain!

(I've included the album track listings, just in case one or two of you maniacs don't have the whole catalog memorized. Only the first 12 tracks on each album are listed. Obviously, tracks not released on original albums are off-limits.)

"exact same"?

Your version is compelling but different, and much simpler to play. To play this game by "advanced level" rules, it's one track per album.

Ahh, gotcha. I'll redo my list later.

The music of VH will never die, my friend.
