Help Me Make Mix CDs from my soon-to-be-in-storage CDs

So - I'm leaving the country soon, and need to put a bunch of my CDs in storage, for at least one year (and maybe a lot longer). Amongst them are albums I used to love but have grown a bit weary of, albums by bands that I have a shitload of stuff by and only grabbed some key releases from, but also a lot lot lot of stuff that I've never given a fair enough listen to in order to figure out what the standout tracks are.

So I ask you for help: weed through my lists and tell me what tracks I should cull from there, esp. from the more obscure records, to keep me warm at the cold nights at sea or what have you.

(The "mix CD" is metaphorical, since most likely is that they'll wind up as MP3s, but y'know what I mean. Sequencing a bunch of stuff that's nice together is always fun.)

And that list is: http://www.dougdillaman.com/LeftBehind.htm

Is that font intentionally almost illegible?

no, looks fine here. Crap, let me figure out what's going on.

Reconsider stashing all of your Neu, "Back In Black", "Fables of the Reconstruction", "Closer", "This Nation's Saving Grace", NY's "Decade", and the "Ulysses' Gaze" soundtrack. How much room could they take up?

any better fontwise now?

seeing the field mice on that list was a surprise.

well, I've got the 2xCD that I'm taking with me, so it's more than a bit redundant.

The bottoms of all the letters are cut off for me. That's okay, my advice probably wouldn't have been that useful (because I'm guessing I won't know a lot of this stuff, and even if I did, my taste is--well, I'm really far more excited about 70's popular music from Greece at the moment than I am about, say, postpunk, or Krautrock).

Rockist -- PLJ Band? (OK, it's '80's, but damn...).
