When I've gone on long car rides to get to my brother's baseball games with my Mom I always listened to AIDA with my head phones. Not sure why, it's not one of my absolute favorites or anything. One time though the radio went out (no good stations in the valleys...) so I put in the CD and had my Mom listen to it and once the opening number changes from slow to rock and Sherrie sings "This is the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate!!!" my Mom just flipped out. Also when "My Strongest Suit" starts with the beat and the whole "Oh, now I believe in looking like my time on earth is cookin'" my Mom, got all excited and was like "Ooo... okay here we go." It's her favorite song now... anyway... AIDA.
