If you want the test to match a list of values instead of exclude a
single value, use

<xsl:template match="ITEM">
  <xsl:variable name="title" 
        select="parent::STEP1/preceding-sibling::TITLE"/>
  <xsl:if test="$title='Magic Mountains' or
               $title='Spectacular Sky'">
    <li>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </li>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
