> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > Is that a live cover, or did you mean to type Metallica? Because if it’s the former, I’ve simply **GOT** to hear that. Yeah, I did mean Metallica, but I guess my fingers slipped… It’s taken from an official bootleg of Dream Theater playing _Master of Puppets_–the whole album–live in 2002. You can order it [here](http://www.ytsejamrecords.com/). It’s not the original, but nothing is, and it’s pretty damn good. ---

Out of a mere 775 songs (I’m working on it!): 1. Dire Straits - Calling Elvis 2. R.E.M - Sweetness Follows 3. Wallflowers - Invisible City 4. Elliott Smith - I Better Be Quiet Now 5. Barenaked Ladies - Never Is Enough 6. Grandaddy - Saddest Vacant Lot In All the World 7. Cake - Sad Songs and Waltzes 8. Cake - When You Sleep 9 The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?? 9. R.E.M - The Great Beyond 10. Fountains of Wayne - It Must Be Summer 11. The Shins - New Slang 12. The Allman Brothers - Jessica 13. Barenaked Ladies - One Week 14. Benny Goodman - Goodnight My Love 15. Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer 16. Dido - Thank You 17. Beth Waters - Sweaters 18. Howie Day - Help 19. Cake - Comanche Wow. I only have ONE Barenaked Ladies album, and this completely skips any of the harder stuff I’ve got. Still, not terrible.
