Compilations

Just made up my own compilation..what do people think?

1. Sweet And Tender Hooligan
2. Still Ill
3. Suffer Little Children
4. Back To The Old House
5. Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want
6. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
7. Nowhere Fast
8. I Know It's Over
9. Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
10. I Won't Share You
11. Half A Person
12. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

I like that. Start out w/ a rocker, and then into more melodic, mid-slow paced songs. Could be sort of a tease, tho! After S&TH, I'd want a few more guitar-charged numbers!

Load of ballads!

I'd want to have the Hatful Of Hollow version of This Charming Man as well as How Soon Is Now and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out on any compilation personally.

Nice, but rather like my physique, it sags a bit in the middle -- a lot of slow-paced songs. Strong material (you can hardly ever go wrong with The Smiths, of course!), but a reshuffled track listing would make it even stronger.

-- QUICK UPDATE AFTER RE-READ --

Although I like the material, there's too many "full stops" here -- songs to end a compilation: "Suffer Little Children", "I Won't Share You", "PPP Let Me Get What I Want" are "final sighs", after which nothing could/should follow but quiet contemplation Starting up again after these songs (three times in one comp) would be a bit heavy on my emotions, at any rate! But that's just MHO's 2¢'s worth.
