2. In This Twilight
3. Zero Sum
4. God Given
5. We're In This Together
6. Just Like You Imagined
7. La Mer

9. Right Where It Belongs
10. Sunspots
11. All The Love In The World
12. Only

and a bonus band. . .

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

If I had to narrow my two bands to ten songs each (and this is tough to do):


3 Doors Down

1) Away From the Sun
2) Be Somebody
3) Let Me Go
4) It's Not My Time
5) Landing In London
6) Here Without You
7) Let Me Be Myself
8) Your Arms Feel Like Home
9) It's The Only One You've Got
10) Here By Me


Lifehouse

1) Sick Cycle Carousel
2) Everything
3) Had Enough
4) Simon
5) Whatever It Takes
6) You and Me
7) By Your Side
8) Storm
9) Breathing
10) Somewhere In Between

[The GIGGAS]

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

Weezer

1. Buddy Holly
2. Why Bother
3. My Name is Jonas
4. Hash Pipe
5. This Is Such A Pity
6. If You're Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To)
7. El Scorcho
8. Heart Songs
9. Across The Sea
10. Getchoo
11. Pork and Beans
12. Say It Ain't So

I didn't want it to just be Blue and Pinkerton, even though those are the best albums.

I understand no kryptonite, but no When Im Gone or Loser?
Blasphemy!

Like I said, a top ten is tough to fill.

And in all seriousness, Loser is a great acoustic track, but their mix from their original album is pretty bad, despite the song being good itself. It just turns me off.

When I'm Gone was #11 for me. Kryptonite is maybe the lowest of their popular songs for me. Same with Lifehouse and Hanging By a Moment.

Agree.

I'd replace 1, 2, and 5 with those three and that'd be my list.

****, I'm about to listen to those three songs now because it's been so long.

I feel bad about leaving Be Like That off, too. I always loved that song.

Have you heard the new Deftones song? It's called Diamond Eyes and it's one of my favorite rock songs at the moment.

I'd wager that he has, considering 5 of his 12 songs are from the new album

Wow a song from Make Believe up there that isn't Perfect Situation? Haha i really don't like that album at all. I like the list but I would do:

1. Only in Dreams
2. Say It Ain't So
3. El Scorcho
4. Burdnt Jamb
5. Dope Nose
6. Island In the Sun
7. Why Bother
8. Butterfly
9. Holiday
10. My Name is Jonas
11. I Want You To
12. Across the Sea

I think Across the Sea should be higher, but jeeze it's tough to narrow it down to 12, especially if you avoid a ton of Blue and Pinkerton.

Ha, yes sir, as Dakkon wagered, I have indeed heard that song and I enjoy it as well.

I'd wager that he has, considering 5 of his 12 songs are from the new album

Yeah, I don't know if my Deftones playlist would normally have that many songs off of one album, but at this point I'm riding that New Album High where you love every song from the disc so. . .I guess that's my current setlist for now.

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

I tried to keep it low, but when you literally love every song the band has ever put on CD (with the exception of Pink Cellphone), it gets extremely hard. I tried to go with a little flow with it starting out with the heavy, punch you in the face songs. The middle area has songs that are a mixture of both heavy and mellow, and finally ending with the put you to sleep songs. And I always thought Kimdracula would have been an excellent end of album track.

Deftones
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Bored
7 Words
Headup
Hexagram
Rocket Skates
Birthmark
Lifter
Dai The Flu
Beware The Water
Risk
Needles and Pins
Battle-Axe
Engine #9
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
Change (In The House of Flies)
Digital Bath
Minerva
Sextape
Kimdracula


Anyone who has never heard this band and likes music that is extremely laid back and chill should give them a try. Their music just takes me to a happy place that words can't even describe. It's so beautiful and atmospheric and can put me to sleep in minutes if I'm listening to my iPod in the bed..

God is an Astronaut
A Moment of Stillness
Lost Kingdom
A Deafening Distance
Tempus Horizon
Zodiac
Radau
Frozen Twilight
All is Violent, All is Bright
Shadows
Remembrance
From Dust to the Beyond
Ascend to Oblivion
Echoes
Age of the Fifth Sun
Beyond the Dying Light
Shining Through
The End of the Beginning


Another great band that I've not heard many people talk about. Their music usually has a steady, catchy beat with a bass line to accompany it. They actually kinda remind me of the Beach Boys with the way they do their harmonies and stuff.

Pinback
Fortress
From Nothing To Nowhere
AFK
Microtonic Wave
Boo
Devil You Know
Prog
Tripoli
Penelope
Loro
Montaigne
How We Breathe
X I Y
Non Photo Blue
Sender

I love the idea of this thread though because it may give people who are looking for new music to listen to a couple of new bands that they would have never listened to otherwise. I'd love to turn people onto Deftones, GIAA, and Pinback.
