While enjoying a few other old themed mix cds this weekend, remembered a neglected folder on my PC for tracks with "versus" or "vs." in the title. Have five tracks so far, and need another 15-17 to round out a cd. AllMusic's been a little help, but random compared the ideas available here. Suggestions, please, in this vein.

Kramer

Not too strict about "in this vein", since I can mix up the order to avoid awkward style segues (death metal excepted...). Been bouncing all the suggestions against the local libraries. Much appreciated!
