JT’s a proper pop star, so therefore deserving of the “singles in chronological order” best of, which would probably look something like this

Like I love you
Cry me a river
Rock your body
Senorita
Sexyback
My love
What goes around comes around
Lovestoned
Suit and tie
Mirrors
Take back the night
Not a bad thing
Can’t stop the feeling

I’ll have a go at Massive Attack

  1. Five Man Army
  2. Risingson
  3. Special Cases
  4. Karmacoma (Napoli trip)
  5. Unfinished Sympathy
  6. Mezzanine
  7. I Against I
  8. Splitting The Atom
  9. Teardrop
  10. Paradise Circus
  11. Small Time Shoot Em Up
  12. Protection
  13. (Exchange)

Leans heavily on Mezzanine, as that’s their strongest overall I’d say. Karmacoma is the remix with some verses in Italian, and Small Time Shoot Em Up is the remix of Small Time Shot Away released on Collected (features more Albarn).

I Against I is the best song ever, so that’s bang in the middle.

I’m ignoring the previous chat about keeping the tracklisting short as this is still a single disc job - PJ Harvey…

  1. Sheela-Na-Gig (03:11)
  2. Dress (03:16)
  3. 50ft Queenie (02:23)
  4. Rid Of Me (04:28)
  5. To Bring You My Love (05:32)
  6. Down By The Water (03:14)
  7. Taut (03:15)
  8. A Perfect Day Elise (03:06)
  9. The Wind (04:01)
  10. Angelene (03:34)
  11. Good Fortune (03:20)
  12. Big Exit (03:51)
  13. This Is Love (03:48)
  14. The Letter (03:22)
  15. When Under Ether (02:22)
  16. The Devil (02:55)
  17. White Chalk (03:06)
  18. Black Hearted Love (04:40)
  19. Let England Shake (03:09)
  20. The Words That Maketh Murder (03:45)
  21. The Community Of Hope (02:23)
  22. The Wheel (05:38)

It’s a bit singles heavy, and I somewhat indulgently included three tracks from White Chalk, but I think that would make a good sampler of her career to date…

I gave myself the ridiculous task of doing a Low best-of. I’d go for the following:

  1. Shame
  2. Sunflower
  3. Over The Ocean
  4. Two-Step
  5. Laser Beam
  6. Last Snowstorm Of The Year
  7. The Innocents
  8. July
  9. Monkey
  10. When I Go Deaf
  11. (That’s How You Sing) Amazing Grace
  12. The Plan
  13. Tomorrow One
  14. Lies
  15. Stay
  16. Shots & Ladders
  17. Will The Night

You can have your 3 cds but I want cover art and some gushing liner notes.

It is highly subjective, yes. But I can’t actually argue with any of the tracks you’ve chosen.
Just weep for the ones left behind.
