    Haha. Just read yours after posting mine. We're like brothers from different mothers!
  9. Not possible for me...
  10. Hahaha yeah, indeed. Great minds think alike Very similar lists. I particularly suffered to leave I Fall Down, Another Time Another Place and Please out - glad you included them for me!

    What I'm puzzled about is the inclussion of TWO New Year's Day versions

    It was a struggle to leave quite a few things off that list. But I NEED both those versions of NYD as they are completely different... Album version for the last verse and Kevorkian remix for alternate lyrics...

    It hurt to leave Bad, Wire, Drowning Man, etc... etc... off!
