3. your blue room
4. magnificent
5. mofo

So that's 1 for Zooropa, 2 for Passengers, 2 for Pop, 1 for MDH, 0 for ATYCLB, 1 for the Best Of 1990-2000, 0 for HTDAAB, 3 for NLOTH.

Stay was originally #10, but then I realised I'd omitted Electrical Storm, so it got bumped off the list.

 

[coolian2]

oh fuck i forgot gone.

i discounted electrical storm and the ground beneath her feet because...i don't know. it's hard to keep it to 10.

 

[Axver]

If I discounted ES and TGHBF and stuck purely to album tracks, that would obviously bring back Stay, and open up a spot for ... shit, I don't even know. Please? WUDM? Your Blue Room? Something like that.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

If I discounted ES and TGHBF and stuck purely to album tracks, that would obviously bring back Stay, and open up a spot for ... shit, I don't even know. Please? WUDM? Your Blue Room? Something like that.

Or you could listen to your heart and choose Walk On.

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh, fuck, I forgot Stateless. I would have replaced Lemon with that one.

 

[coolian2]

If I discounted ES and TGHBF and stuck purely to album tracks, that would obviously bring back Stay, and open up a spot for ... shit, I don't even know. Please? WUDM? Your Blue Room? Something like that.

i'm not sure what would replace passengers tracks if i took them out.

Oh, fuck, I forgot Stateless. I would have replaced Lemon with that one.
