It was really a stretch choosing anything off of Pipes, Broad Street, Ground, Rain, Chaos, Memory, or Egypt. I forget how much I don't like them. They just go out of my thoughts after the first couple listens that determine that it's not an album I will ever listen to again. Then an exercise like this comes along that prompts me to try and find the least offensive track to my tastes, and I'm reminded all over again why those albums haven't come off the shelf since the first week.
