| I don't think this idea has been posted before so thought I would post it. Partly because I am bored and also because I thought it would be quite interesting to see what different people came up with Basically the idea is to pick a favourite song for each track number out of all of Gaslight's four albums. For example Track 1 would be a choice of one of a) Boomboxes & Dictionaries, b) Great Expectations c) American Slang d) "45". This would apply to all the other track numbers. Obviously there are not the same number of tracks on each album so I have included an album of 12 songs with 2 bonus tracks (in which I have included a song from Senor and the Queen). Got it? This is obviously not a ultimate Gaslight album as you are restricted because of the track number stipulations. Anyway I thought it was something different and will also be interesting to see which album's songs come up most frequently. Here's mine: 01. Great Expectations 02. Handwritten 03. Old White Lincoln 04. Mulholland Drive 05. 1930 06. Miles Davis & The Cool 07. The Patient Ferris Wheel 08. Casanova, Baby! 09. The Spirit Of Jazz 10. Mae 11. Here's Looking At You, Kid 12. The Backseat 2 Bonus Tracks: 13. Blue Dahlia 14. Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts Sink or Swim = 1, The '59 Sound = 7, Senor and the Queen = 1, American Slang = 1, Handwritten = 4 That was really hard! I think track 4 was the hardest could have easily been We Came To Dance or TDCSC. | |

| This forum is ridiculous, but so damn fun. I'm up.
1. American Slang 2. The 59 Sound 3. Bring It On 4. We Came To Dance 5. 1930 6. The Navesink Banks 7. The Patient Ferris Wheel 8. Biloxi Parish 9. Angry Johnny & The Radio 10. Mae 11. Here's Looking At You, Kid 12. The Backseat
Bonus Tracks 13. The Blue Dahia 14. Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts
I noticed track number 8 is my least favourite track listing. Biloxi is great and wins by a landslide, the other songs listed at 8 are all kinda 'meh' to me.
SOS - 4, T59S - 4, AS - 2, H - 2 | |

| I used to do this all the time when I was younger!! Pick the best track number to make a band's greatest hits. I called them "All Star Tracks" and saved them on Word Documents. Oh how simple it used to be to entertain myself. Anyways, this is very difficult. 1. Great Expectations 2. Handwritten 3. Bring It On 4. The Diamond Church Street Choir 5. The Queen of Lower Chelsea 6. Miles Davis & the Cool 7. Howl 8. Biloxi Parish 9. The Spirit of Jazz 10. We Did It When We Were Young 11. National Anthem 12. The Backseat Bonus Tracks She Loves You Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? SoS = 0, 59 = 3, AS = 5, Handwritten = 4 It's not that I don't like Sink or Swim, I just happen to be more connected with the songs from other albums. Especially American Slang | |

| alright, I'll play:
1. 45 2. Handwritten 3. Old White Lincoln 4. Mulholland Drive 5. 1930 6. Orphans 7. Howl 8. I'da Called You Woody, Joe 9. Angry Johnny & The Radio 10. Mae 11. We're Getting A Divorce, You Keep The Diner 12. The Backseat
Bonus: 13. Senor and the Queen 14. Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?
hardest decision was OWL vs. Bring it On for the 3 spot. next hardest was choosing Mae over Drive.
final count: SoS - 4 T59S - 2 AS - 1 Handwritten - 5 SatQ - 2 | |

| Glad to have so many responses so quickly I almost didn't have any AS tracks in there as Desire and The Spirit of Jazz were really hard to choose between. Also first track could have been "45" instead of Great Expectations. | |

| Interesting. Not an all time list, but today i'll go for:
1. American Slang 2. The '59 Sound 3. Here Comes My Man 4. High Lonesome 5. 1930 6. Miles Davis & The Cool 7. The Patient Ferris Wheel (featuring Dicky Barrett) 8. Biloxi Parish 9. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues 10. Drive 11. Here's Looking at You, Kid 12. The Backseat
13. Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts 14. She Loves You
SoS - 2 SATQ - 1 T59S - 7 AS - 1 Handwritten - 2 Others - 1
The only decisions there that didn't take a LOT of thinking about were 6, 9, 11 and 12. Leaving Great Expectations, OWL, Stay Lucky, DCSC, Film Noir, Howl, Casanova, River's Edge and Mae out were really tough calls.
Incidentally, that looks like it would work superbly on paper. I might have to put a playlist together. | |

4 was one of the hardest for me. I absolutely love Mulholland Drive so it just beat the other contenders. TDCSC and WCTD are both brilliant as well just not quite as good as Mulholland in my opnion. | |

To put "Boomboxes" into the first slot and not "Great Expactations" was even harder, but this pumping C in "Boomboxes" beats the Vinyl Sound in "Great Expactations" Also Angry Johnny beats Biloxi Parish - my favorite out of Handeritten - so the old Records won outright "Blue Jeans" is a standard i think and yea, "Blue Dahlia" is perfect to complete this "Blue" B-side | |
