Oh god, just going over my list again. Now I know Gaslight's never had a hit but I'm pretty sure I left off all of their "as close as they have to hits"

Hmm, no 59 Sound, American Slang...you have Bring it On at least.

That's why some of us left off Orphans and Cowgirls. With most bands it would be easy to choose 25 top songs. It's IMPOSSIBLY HARD for TGA!

Also Shelby, bar our little 45/Teenage Rebellion mix-up, pretty much all the same Handwritten song choices. I'm feeling a high five or two is in order.

1. We're Getting A Divorce, You Keep The Diner
2. The 59 Sound
3. 45
4. Old White Lincoln
5. Handwritten
6. We Came To Dance
7. Here Comes My Man
8. I Coulda Been A Contender
9. American Slang
10. Woody
11. Bring It On
12. Angry Johnny & The Radio (with the old school Downtown Train/What Becomes of the Broken Hearted bridge)
13. Orphans
14. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
15. Howl
16. Drive
17. Biloxi Parish
18. Great Expectations

19. Mae
20. Red In The Morning
21. Trusty Chords
22. Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? ->
23. Wooderson
24. 1930
25. The Backseat

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I would love an early Brian solo acoustic set, something like Vedder did before certain PJ gigs, come out, play a handful of songs, and then the opening band comes on.

Well you seemed to be avoiding the hits haha. Ah I want Teenage Rebellion now too! Although I seriously wonder how that would go down live.

Yeah I would LOVE to hear Teenage Rebellion but I can't even start to think where in a set to fit in a song like that.

Yeah not sure what the chances are of it ever being played live at a TGA gig, but I feel like it's one Brian could pull out for Revival Tour appearances and the occasional solo show that if we're all be honest with each other here he needs to do more of.

I tried talking Brian into playing The Blues, Mary like this back in 2010. Seemed like a good idea to me too.
