A
dubious tracklisting......
Another thing to add to the 'Best of' debate yesterday
...how often (and this is another instance) do I want the bonus disc but not want to have to buy the 'best of' to get it?
No
Hercules?
Lots of early stuff
like Chasing a Bee at least - stop moaning!
you
stop moaning at me moaning
I think the early stuff they chose is good, and about right, but that they chose completely the wrong songs off the later albums.
OK?
Hmmm
Plenty missing there, and a bit annoying that I collected the singles just to see most of it reappear here.
You're my Queen should be on there. A full version. *Bastards!*
at least somethin for joey is on it
pure class
Where is Little Rhymes?
Awww tis a shame. Thats one of my fav's.
Blue And Black
is my favourite and that's not on there but I didn't expect it to be and it's generally a good collection.
why bother
putting any tracks from their last album on. the absolute biggest pile of bilge from a band i previously thought highly of i have ever had the misfortune to listen to.
Nice to see empire state...
But they already have a best-of. 's called deserters song's....
