Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

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.

Two Weezer lists, and no one likes, "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"? Sure, the first two albums are the best, but man, that song is incredible!

As for a few of my lists (In no specific order):

Social Distortion (I had to leave out a LOT on this one)
Telling Them
When The Angels Sing
Hour of Darkness
Mommy's Little Monster
Reach For The Sky
So Far Away
Story of My Life
Bad Luck
Dear Lover
Sick Boys
Don't Take Me For Granted

311
We Do It Like This
Sometimes Jacks Rule The Realm
Don't Dwell
Nutsymptom
Applied Science
Offbeat Bare-A*s
Flowing
Don't Stay Home
Freak Out
Unity
F*** The Bull****
Use of Time
Loco
Let The Cards Fall
Gap

Something Corporate
Little
Walking By
Drunk Girl
Space
She Paints Me Blue
Hurricane
Cavanaugh Park
Punk Rock Princess
Down
F U C Jordan
Konstantine

Say Anything
That Is Why
This Is F***ing Ecstasy
Shiksa (Girlfriend)
******** In Love
People Like You Are Why People Like Me Exist
Alive With The Glory Of Love
Admit It!
The Futile
Every Man Has A Molly
Got Your Money (ODB Cover)
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too
Total Revenge

Haha yeah it's a great song, but I would put Can't Stop Partying above it. It's so cool live!

Nothing from the self-titled? That album is brilliant.

I'd just like to say that I set mine up like it was an album, not just the top 12 in order.

Agreed, but I haven't listened to it as much as the others. Yet...

I'd just like to be in Max Bemis's head for one day. He comes up with some of the most creative lines and lyrics.

6. Too Much
7. Tripping Billies
8. Six Feet Under
9. Funny The Way It Is
10. So Much To Say
11. Warehouse
12. Grey Street
13. My Baby Blue


Heavy with their first 2 albums and then a couple from their most recent one. I wasn't a big fan of their '00s albums.

I'd definitely need "Two Step" on there if I was making a DMB one.

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

DMB needs a two disc set, IMO.

Re: Make a Greatest Hits Compilation

Weezer:
1) My Name is Jonas
2) Hash Pipe
3) El Scorcho
4) The Greatest Man that Ever Lived
5) This is Such a Pity
6) Slob
7) Tired of Sex
8) Undone - The Sweater Song
9) Pink Triangle
10) Say it Ain't So
11) Falling for You
12) Buddy Holly
13) King or Cold Dark World* or Miss Sweeney
14) In the Garage
15) Only in Dreams (how could any other song close this out?)



*IMO, the #2 and #3 songs on Red aren't sung by Rivers.

This is tough. It'd be easier if I could go to 20 and get more Green and Maladroit on there, but it could be all Blue and Pinkerton except for maybe a handful of songs. If I had to put a Weezer top 30...19 or the 20 songs from those two albums would make up the list (Butterfly, IMO, would be the odd man out).

I threw in Pity just to get MB some love. And while there are some catchy songs on Raditude and the Red Album, most of them, IMO aren't anything more than just that, especially lyrically (even the Greatest Man). Sadly, the best music from most musicians comes when they are down, depressed and in a dark place. Happiness just doesn't seem to trigger the creativity that depression does.
