Although there are several best of/greatest hits compilations out there, I've yet to find one that covers all of his material up to the present. The record companies seem to love showing off Bat 1 and Bat 2 while ignoring the other albums. If I had the opportunity to create a track list for a one CD compilation, it would be something like this (and the songs would be in this exact order):

1. Couldn't Have Said it Better
2. Piece of the Action
3. Original Sin
4. Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
5. Left in the Dark
6. For Crying Out Loud
7. Did I Say That
8. I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
9. Objects In the Rearview Mirror
10. Bat Out Of Hell
11. The Monster's Loose

Duration: (79:30)

I've burned this CD for my own personal use, and when I listen to all of the songs in that order, a long, clear story seems to form from the lyrics. These are definitely my top eleven ML songs, but in no particular order. If you were afforded this opportunity, and allowed to compile a CD, what choices would you make? I'm eager to hear opinions.
