Speaking of reordering song sequences:

Someone some months back had a favorite [re]sequencing of the AOF tracks-I
tried it but after 20+ years of listening to it in the original order I
just couldn't get used to a new sequence.  However with HF being new I
wonder if any one else has experimented with re-sequencing the tracks?  I
know everyone has their fav.s and a few that are less appealling but here's
the order I've been listening to:

                1 Damaged
                2 SYIB
                3 HM
                4 PUD
                5 HB
                6 Damaged (I listen to this one twice with the CD deck program)
                7 RW
                8 CGLoD
                9 Still Burnin'
                10 LFM

(I know there's 2 missing - In Thee just seems out of place to me if you're
into establishing a flow, pace, mood, etc., and I tried but X-ray Eyes just
didn't grab me)
[don't bash too hard here please [ :-)  ]].

Anyway, anybody else do some HF rearranging?  (and RBN / CN while we're at it?)
