Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

"I Can't Explain": what a song!!!

This a pathetic compilation and since it was still the 80's when this cd was compiled, none of the songs had been remastered. Your best bet is to go with the double-cd greatest hits sets or whatever, check out 'Deadly Sting'. "I Can't Explain" was a nice bonus with this disc, though (a Who cover song), and now it can be found on virtually any of Scorpions 100,000 "best of" discs.

A very good one to start with if you want to give The Scorpions a chance. Very good compilation.
