Make one cd, make sure it has the following:
Bad Days
Do You Realize??
Ego Trippin'
Yoshimi Pt. 1
The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
Race for the Prize
Fight Test
Slow Nerve Action
She Don't Use Jelly
Turn It On
and When You Smile
the rest are up to you, I know I probably neglected most of The Soft Bulletin, but I find it very overrated.

how about the gash and mr. ambulance driver?

I'd definitely go with Mr. Ambulance Driver, but the Wedding Crashers mix is 20 seconds shorter and just sounds better.
Waitin' for a Superman and The Gash would be great too.

Absolutely. Also, if you want something from the very early days, I recommend Shine On Sweet Jesus.

God Walks Among Us Now or Talkin' 'Bout the Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants to Live Forever) are possibilities, it just depends on how far back you want to go.

I'm going to keep bumping this bad boy because of my massive F'Lips addiction.
In the Morning of Magicians is almost on the verge of making me cry every time I hear it:
In the morning I'd awake and couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate? - the calculations error
Oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - is to love just a waste
How can it matter?
As the dawn began to break - I had to surrender
The universe will have its way - too powerful to master
Oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - is to love just a waste??
And how can it matter?
Couple that with Ego Tripping... and good lord, that's like dropping 50 lbs of Melancholy and Reflection right on my face.

Don't forget Do You Realize...
Despite its pink-n-robotic exterior, Yoshimi is HEAVY.

After listening to Yoshimi non-stop for the past few days, it might claim the spot of LMP's Favorite F'Lips Album from Clouds Taste Metallic.
Yeah, Do You Realize?? is definitely heavy-duty, Doc.

Yoshimi is still my favorite Flips album, and not even for the huge songs. While Fight Test is my favorite song of theirs period, the second half of that album is stellar and truly makes the album.
Magicians, Ego Tripping, and Summertime are my favorites, but that entire side is beautifully cohesive. It's all amazing.
