    It's my thread. You did it wrong. He was nice enough to correct you. Now you're being a d!ck. How about you go away?

    Hollow Horse To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

    One of the sad indictments of (particularly larger) forums are the thread lurkers and trolls who lie in wait hoping to identify a mistake by someone.

    Weak folk who feel the need to point-score over others who may or may not make a genuine error.

    I don't tolerate pedantry or support it.

    As you were, Martian and save your time responding as I shall not bother to view it.

    Joe Jackson:

    10) "Overture" from Tucker...A Man And His Dream soundtrack (that "theater lobby" music gets me every time!)
    9) "Is She Really Going Out With Him" ("doo-wop" version from Live 1980/1986 )
    8) "Hometown" (tender version from Two Rainy Nights )(is that the one that segues into the similar-tempo "Different For Girls"?)
    7) "'Round Midnight" from That's The Way I Feel Now - A Tribute to Monk
    6) "You Can't Do What You Want ('Til You Know What You Want)" 12" single (major bass expanded from that exquisitely-recorded "live-to-disc" Body And Soul album from that VFW hall)
    5) "The In Crowd/Down To London" live medley from Summer In The City
    4) "Glamour and Pain" (also from Two Rainy Nights, with the lush voice of Allison Cornell subbing for Joe's album interp on Night & Day II )
    3) "Memphis" from Mike's Murder soundtrack (and ohmigod, now I'm seeing there was a maxi on this! :goodie: )
    2) "Steppin' Out" slow version from Live 1980/1986
    1) "A Slow Song", from either Live 1980/1986, or any live version where his adenoids are shredded with tender passion

    ...and now...I'm gonna go back through this thread to see just how well anybody did, who had the guts to try one for Peter Gabriel! :agree:

    Nice list. I'd add "Pure & Easy" instead of the studio "Young Man Blues"

    Bee Gees, chronologically:

    "I Am the World"
    -- Non-LP B-side of "Spicks and Specks" (1966)

    "In the Morning" or "Morning of My Life"
    -- First recorded in Australia with very little backing instrumentation for an unreleased 1966 album; re-recorded in 1970 for the soundtrack of the movie Melody with full orchestral accompaniment at a slower tempo; this version was a single in several countries outside the US, UK, and Australia, most notably Japan

    "The Storm"
    -- from 1966 unreleased Australia LP, first issued on the 1970 German compilation Inception/Nostalgia and later as part of the Australian CD Brilliant from Birth

    "Lonely Winter"
    -- written by Carl Groszman of the group Steve and the Board, it's another 1966 outtake from the unreleased Australia LP

    "Sir Geoffrey Saved the World"
    -- B-side of "Massachusetts" in the US and "World" in the UK (1967)

    "Words"
    -- 1968 non-LP A-side

    "The Singer Sang His Song"
    -- 1968 non-LP B-side that should have been an A-side

    "Sun in My Morning"
    -- 1969 B-side of "Tomorrow Tomorrow"

    "If I Can't Have You"
    -- 1977 B-side of "Stayin' Alive" that was recorded by Yvonne Elliman in a memorable #1 version

    "Rest Your Love on Me"
    -- 1978 B-side of "Too Much Heaven," this was promoted to country radio and made the top 40 on the Billboard country charts (Conway Twitty would cover it a couple years later and take it to #1 country)

    And one more, sort of:

    "I've Gotta Get a Message to You"
    -- a 1968 non-LP A-side except in the U.S., where it was added to Idea. Even in the States, the mono 45 mix was so superior to the stereo LP mix that it might as well have been a non-LP cut.

    This is sorta cheating as they have very few B-Sides and bonus tracks, I didn't want to mine the Deep Cuts series as that's a self-contained and ready-made set of lists right there; I avoided 12" Mixes and also B-Sides that were edited down from the album versions, removing the segues that occur on the albums; Lily Of The Valley (from Now I'm Here) , Flick Of The Wrist (from Killer Queen), etc. This is what's left, basically nine B-Sides and a non album seasonal A-Side, but I like all of them.

    See What A Fool I've Been B-Side to Seven Seas Of Rhye 1974
    I Go Crazy B-Side to Radio GaGa 1984
    Thank God It's Christmas A-Side, 1984
    Blurred Vision B-Side to One Vision 1985
    A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling B-Side to A Kind Of Magic 1986
    Stealin' B-Side to Breakthru 1989
    Hijack My Heart B-Side to The Invisible Man 1989
    My Life Has Been Saved B-Side of Scandal 1989
    Stone Cold Crazy (Live) B-Side to The Miracle 1989
    Mad The Swine B-Side to Headlong 1991

    Love many of these, but my Replacements' list would be different. I'm going to lose the covers. And damn, "Kissin in Action" is at the bottom of all Replacements songs for me. To each his own.

    "If Only You Were Lonely"
    "You're Getting Married"
    "Perfectly Lethal"
    "Birthday Gal"
    "Photo"

    "Nowhere is My Home"
    "Portland"
    "Wake Up"
    "We Know the Night"
    "Tiny Paper Plane"

    just missed:
    "Lookin For Ya"
    "Bad Worker"
    "Get Lost"
    "Aint No Crime"

    All good choices as well. :righton:

    When Rhino reissued their catalog back in 2008, the bonus tracks were like finding gold.

    Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I was tired and a little irritable last night but that's no excuse for snapping at you. Please accept my sincere apologies for acting like a real jerk. Have a great day!

    Springsteen changes by the day, but I'd go with:

    Janey Don't You Lose Heart
    Take 'em As They Come
    The Promise (but not the version they eventually released)
    Lucky Man
    Don't Look Back
    Dream Baby Dream
    Ghost of Tom Joad (live version with Tom Morello)
    Iceman
    Murder Inc.
    A Good Man is Hard to Find (Pittsburgh)

    Yeah. I was on the fence about it. (Mostly because the earlier numbers were piling up, fast and furious.) It was probably an improper omission, in retrospect.

    The Flirting Kind should probably be there as well.

    My list differs from yours, but you don't have anything I disagree with. Forgot "Shut Out the Light," a magnificent piece of writing.

    Cool, interestingly in my neck of the woods (AU, maybe UK/EUR as well ?) we had a compilation release "Ten Hail Marys and Ten How's Your Fathers" with many of those tracks, around 1987 maybe.

    Yeah -- the earlier stuff through the end of 1980. I had it on import. It was cassette only. (The US equivalent was Taking Liberties.) The CD issue was probably late '80s or so.
