^ You could even do HIStory, and just keep the "Past" disc.

 

If you took "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" and eliminated the skits, the last couple "Love" tracks, and "Tomb of the Boom", there'd be a single rap masterpiece album. Still probably wouldn't be short enough to fit, though.

I'm not sure about that Smashing Pumpkins take. It's been forever since I listened to that album, but I remember the best parts being the slightly quirky, kinda twee numbers like "We Only Come Out At Night." I'd sub in a few more of those and cut out some of the embarrassing bombast (do you really need both "Tales of a Scorched Earth" and "X.Y.U."?

Rattle and Hum

 

1. Desire

5. All Along The Watchtower

6. Love Rescue Me

7. Silver & Gold

8. When Love Comes To Town

9. Heartland

10. Sunday Bloody Sunday

11. All I Want Is You

 

"Silver and Gold" would be the studio take used as a B-side, but that presupposes that it was not used as one, which adds another dimension to things, I guess. Hey, maybe "The Sweetest Thing" could be somewhere in here as well, then.

I'm assuming that's the live "Sunday Bloody Sunday" from the movie? Good list altogether. Anything that excises "Helter Skelter" makes the album twice as good right off the bat. I kind of like the cheesy church-choir version of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," but mostly in the same way I like "okay Edge, play the blues!"

Yeah. Go figure, the best song in the movie isn't on the album, and "ARTISTS AGAYNST A-PART-HEIT!" is.

Physical Graffiti

 

I actually wouldn't cut anything from this one (well, maybe "In the Light"), but I hate the sequencing. Putting all the rock numbers on the first disc and the "experimental" numbers on the second disc make listening to PG overall more of a slog than it should be. I might, this evening, work on what I think would've been a more ideal tracklist. (I'd do it now, but I'd rather wait until I'm listening to the album so it's fresh in my mind.)

 

Roxy Music - s/t

 

The first five songs are great; the second half of the album loses the plot and drowns in avant wankery. The last track, "Bitters End," is nice, but too little, too late given the overwhelming mediocrity that proceeded it. Drop tracks 6-10, which leaves the following almost classic:

 

1. Remake/Remodel

2. Ladytron

3. If There is Something

4. Virginia Plain

5. 2HB

 

In spite of liking "Bitters End," it would stick out in this reconstituted version of the s/t. It goes.
