I got the Super Furry Animals new Best of for Xmas. For a band whoā€™s singles Iā€™ve always quite liked but never bothered getting the albums itā€™s a good option/introduction when a band has such a large back catalogue.

Will come under fire here, but Songbook is genuinely better than any of their albums. Which isnā€™t to say they donā€™t have several great albums, they were just also a brilliant singles band.

Itā€™s also worth pointing out that the new song on that collection - Bing Bong - is very good. Particularly impressive given the subject matter.

oops. Didnā€™t realise they had a new one. Probably also great though.

Totally agree :slight_smile:

Yeah they just released it the other week. Itā€™s 2 discs and got all the singles and a bunch of album tracks. Iā€™m really enjoying it after not having known much of their stuff.

In fact hereā€™s the review of it and the Fuzzy Logic reissue.

ā€œUntitledā€ by The Smashing Pumpkins and ā€œIā€™m a Soldierā€ by The Afghan Whigs come to mind as good ones.

Absolutely love You Know Youā€™re Right! Probably one of my favourite Nirvana tracks. The bass line is amazing!

Love ā€˜Cut Hereā€™, which I think was the other new song off the same collection as ā€˜Wrong Numberā€™.

Post one should have been Nirvana - You Know Youā€™re Right proving you wrong, followed by a thread lock, TBH

to be fair on true faith, substance was a compilation of mostly non album singles & true faith was a non album single

#44

Iā€™m obviously defending itā€™s inclusion on the release rather than itā€™s example as a good song
clearly itā€™s a great song (& my avatar here, though I never set that up)

I can count six.

i cannot argue with a man who has the True Faith cover as his icon. Bit like the pyramid blaster guy in the KLF thread.

I came in here to say ā€œElectrical Storm, which was recorded in 2002 for their compilation album The Best Of 1990-2000, is one of my favourite songs by the U2. I enjoyed it whilst eating a cheese sandwich only this morning in fact.ā€
