Make-A-Best-Of

[namkcuR]

The premise is this: Pick a band that HASN'T released a Best Of yet, and make a 'Best Of' for that band. The only rules are that each of your 'Best Of's must fit on no more than two 80-minute CDs(you can make a single disc if you so desire), and that the band you choose MUST have AT LEAST FOUR LPs out. Other than that, it's all up to you. Try to give your 'Best Of's a flow, and a creative title as well.

I'll go first:

[GibsonGirl]

Pick a band that HASN'T released a Best Of yet, and make a 'Best Of' for that band.

I can't think of any band or artist I like that hasn't released a best of. The only ones that haven't have released less than four albums.

 

[beau2ifulday]

*awaits the Radiohead 'best of'*

I would try myself, but I really don't listen to them enough

 

[GibsonGirl]

*awaits the Radiohead 'best of'*

Oh lord, I can't believe I forgot about Radiohead. This is why I should always check my music library before I comment. Radiohead didn't enter my mind initially because I'd written off the idea of a Radiohead best of a long time ago. I think their albums work better as albums, not collections of songs. Still, I might give it a go.

 

[Zoots]

Nice list, nam! But I would take the abomination that is D'yer Mak'er out and put in Thank You.

 

[namkcuR]

Nice list, nam! But I would take the abomination that is D'yer Mak'er out and put in Thank You.

I like D'yer Mak'er

 

[Zoots]

I like D'yer Mak'er

Haha.. I guess it's a tribute to reggae or whatever but I don't get it. Everytime it comes on the radio, I change the station!

Besides, isn't Thank You essential?

 

[namkcuR]

Haha.. I guess it's a tribute to reggae or whatever but I don't get it. Everytime it comes on the radio, I change the station!

Besides, isn't Thank You essential?

Thank You would go on Disc 1 because it was on LZII, and Disc 1 is already 80 minutes exactly. No room to add anything, and there's nothing I want to get rid of either.

 

[vaz02]

I like D'yer Mak'er

well i dont , you will get rid of it or i wont buy it.

im more a fan of thank you.

btw no celebration day ?

 

[Chizip]

doesnt led zepplin have a best of?

 

[tpsglick2424]

doesnt led zepplin have a best of?

Yeah, I own one

 

[vaz02]

[tpsglick2424]

They actually have two..

The Best Of The Early Days
The Best Of The Later Days

I got both of them together

 

[Chizip]

i got them seperately

 

[Aygo]

Well, I'm not an fan of compilations that doesn't bring this or that song that was a huge succes and it don't appears there (c.f. U2's The Best Of 1990-2000)...

1. It's my life
2. Everyday
3. This ain't a love song
4. These days

Lifting Shadows Off A Dream: The Best Of Dream Theater, Vol. 1

(The KevMo years)

1. Pull Me Under
2. A Fortune In Lies
3. The Killing Hand
4. Under A Glass Moon
5. Only A Matter Of Time
6. 6:00
7. To Live Forever
8. Metropolis Part I: The Miracle And The Sleeper
9. Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
10. Learning To Live
11. Space-Dye Vest

Eat My Ass And Balls: The Best Of Dream Theater, Vol. 2

(The Sherinian/Rudess years)

1. As I Am
2. Lines In The Sand
3. Peruvian Skies
4. Endless Sacrifice
5. I Walk Beside You
6. The Spirit Carries On
7. Trial Of Tears
8. The Dance Of Eternity
9. About To Crash (Reprise)
10. Losing Time/Grand Finale

Now I see why DT has never made a Best Of! Including A Change Of Seasons would take up 23 minutes by itself despite the fact it's the best song DT (or almost anyone else) has ever made. And another glaring omission is Speak To Me, but I just can't squeeze it on to the second disc thanks to Lines In The Sand and Trial Of Tears being so damn long.

 

[Aygo]

Where's Bed of Roses and JUST OLDER???

Didn't you read it? This is a compilation for the second half of Bon Jovi's career. For the first half there's already "Cross Road" and "Bed of roses" is already included there.

 

[Salome]

I'm not qualified to make an AC/DC Best of, but I'm pretty sure they've never released one...

I've tried it once

way too difficult
ended up with far too many songs
