Disc 26 / 48

Not really a lot to say about this one other than that it's a theme disc that is almost exclusively pop and rock with almost no intrusions from other genres. It's almost certainly the whitest disc out of the whole 48 CD set. The instrumentals (other than the obligatory "Telstar" cover) are a song where a manual typewriter is used as a percussion instrument, one where someone chants the NASA acronym for a space walk and the Kinks leaving the vocals out of a song where they'd be spelling L-O-L-A Lola a bunch.

The Tonio K. track is supposedly the first song containing the word "motherfucker" to play uncensored on American radio; there's also an AK-47 firing live ammo as part of the percussion during the big finish of that song.
