I said I wasn't going to do it.....but I did. The Historian soundtrack is now out there and if you weren't able to pick up your copy during the meeting I will be sure to get them out to you later.
Songs included:
1. Romanian Song and Dance— Zoltan and His Gypsy Ensemble - a long drawn out instrumental that reminded me of the Overtures played at the beginning of old movies
2. Dracula—Gorillaz
3. Letters—Stroke 9
4. Train—4 Non Blondes
5. Somebody’s Watching Me
6. Papa Don’t Preach—Madonna - when I read Helen's mom's ordeal with Bartholomew Rossi this song just had to be included
7. Dracula’s Castle—New Order
8. Dracula’s Tango—Total Coelo
9. Have a Drink with the Good King Vlad—The Meteors - classic rock-a-billy number about Vlad, can it get any better?
10. Turkish Delight—Kalman Magyar
11. Paul and Helen’s Trip to Bulgaria
12. Istanbul - They Might Be Giants - love this song
13. Dracula’s Wedding—Outkast
14. Byzantine Chant –Divna
15. Ain’t No Grave—Odetta
16. Hungarian—Bond
Other songs I'd thought about but didn't include were:
Ottoman Empire - it was a horrible heavy metal piece that I knew everyone would be racing to the fast forward button
Vlad the Impaler - kind of a punk-ish song that was not very good
Love Bites - Def Leppard
Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Great White - both of these song titles were great but other than that had nothing to do with the story
I also didn't finish the book so I imagine there were some other great songs I missed. Which ones were they? Comments, please?

I loved the CD, You did a great job! I thought the addition of "Somebody's Watching Me" and "Ain't No Grave" were especially inspired. Love the TMBG song--welcome addition to my files!
Other possibilities:
Dragon Attack - Queen
Dragon - Tori Amos
Bitemarks & Bloodstains - Finch
Your Sweet Neck - The Moog
Vampire Girl - (can't remember the artist..)
