10. Red Dragon - Compliments on Your Kiss
Horrible nasty reggae pop cheese.
9. T. Rex - Theme for a Dragon
Because we haven't had any T.Rex on Tuesday Tunes since the last Top Ten.
8. Toto - St George and the Dragon
Double-whammy time: this one's from the LP Hydra, which was of course a dragonesque creature of Greek legend.
7. Vangelis - The Dragon6. Sugarcubes - Dragon
A mythical track which may or may not exist on some versions of their album Life's Too Good.
5. Queen - Dragon Attack
Apparently created during a drunken jam session. Had to put up with a cover on the mixtape, sorry.
4. Soup Dragons - Whole Wide World
The only indie rock band named after a character from The Clangers, which was of course a favourite show of The Master.
3. The Prodigy - Firestarter
Well they do. And that crazy dancing in the video was scary like a dragon.
2. Fountains of Wayne - Red Dragon Tattoo
What can I say? These guys keep making cool music with spec-fic relevant titles.
1. Tori Amos - Puff (The Magic Dragon)
Treading the thin line between sublime and ridiculous...
Not all of the tracks are available online, but here are those that are, in handy mixtape form:

'The Dragons of Time' by Summoning (Austrian Black Metal).
'Ea Lord of the Depths' by Burzum (Norweygian Black Metal)
'Dragonslayer' by Battlelore (Tolkien-obsessed metal from Finland)
Norwegian Black Metal? I think I've alienated the Tour enough with my random 80s computing references without going there...
I'd love to come and nose through your record collection though - Der Letze Winter sounded intriguing. I'm not sure I'd like it, but it sounds interesting.
'Der Letze Winter' is not a very accesible record unless you already have a grasp of that style of music.
