So, the band is coming to town, and my girlfriend doesn't know much about them. What's a nerd to do but create a one-disc compilation?
Song title is followed by the album where the tune made its debut, and any title after that is the actually disc I used as a source. If the two albums are different, it is because I think the second has a sonically superior version...
Before you complain too much, let me tell ya, this was tough. I determined it had to be chronological to give a sense of the band's evolution, and I wanted to include the few major singles the outfit has scored. Additionally, it had to flow like a good album. Give it a shot - it can drive you bonkers, especially if you already live in the neighborhood!
Thanks to long songs, the compilation is over 76 minutes but merely 13 tunes long...
