Ah, mike, a man after my own heart...

Let me add my 2 cents by recommending Queen's Greatest Hits -- IMHO,
"Bohemian Rhapsody" should be in the permanent driving-music library of any
opera singer (all together now -- "Ga-li-LE-o-o-o-o...")

And lots of Sondheim -- if the music doesn't keep you awake, the lyrics
surely will. I'm partial to the "Sweeney Todd" soundtrack, but that's me.

... oh, and I would stay away from Purcell. Beautiful music, but soooooo
soothing...

Bon voyage,
Rachel
