Greatest hits - with a farken good twist

[Mr. V]

OK, you gotta compile your own greatest hits album... HOWEVER... You can only choose a track in its original track listing spot... for example:

Track 1 - has to be either Zoo Station, Streets, ASOH, Vertigo, I Will Follow, etc...
Track 2 - has to be Miracle Drug, EBTTRT, Elevation, etc...

I was thinking about this earlier today when messing around with my iPod and I think it'd be really interesting to see how people's albums turn out... the start might be a lot like JT, but the ends could turn out like... who knows?

You could probably do 12, 13, 14 or so tracks, or however long you need to go to fill out an album.

get crackin'
