End of Press Release

I look at this list and I’m reminded of the “best album in the world ever…” because this game has sequel written all over it for the simple fact that while this does feature many good songs it certainly can’t be seen as a definitive collection.  However, as I was saying, this does offer some great tracks such as ‘All Right Now’, ‘We Are The Champions’, ‘The One I Love’, and I always welcome anything from the genius Joe Satriani.
