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

In fact here’s the review of it and the Fuzzy Logic reissue.

“Untitled” by The Smashing Pumpkins and “I’m a Soldier” by The Afghan Whigs come to mind as good ones.

Ooh, Untitled is definitely in my top 5 Smashing Pumpkins songs - great shout!

Sugababes, Easy. There’s a load of em tbh.

that song is not a good song. it was written by members of the band orson for a start

i remember nirvana’s greatest hits started with you know you’re right. not really new, obv, but unheard/ unreleased

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

Love ‘Cut Here’, which I think was the other new song off the same collection as ‘Wrong Number’.

Post one should have been Nirvana - You Know You’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

I’m obviously defending it’s inclusion on the release rather than it’s example as a good song
clearly it’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 “Electrical 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.”

Arab Strap - ‘Where We’ve Left Our Love’ on Ten Years of Tears

You Know You’re Right isn’t quite the kind of thing I had in mind, tbh… I was after the songs that were recorded specifically as extra tracks, not ones that happened to end up as extra tracks thanks to unhappy circumstances.

I had no idea You Know You’re Right was well thought of, either

It’s their best track

@badcustard Jordo could be trolling but it’s up there. The thing is there isn’t really a bad Nirvana track because Cobain was a fucking pop genius so it’s a bit of an easy win for that album.

However, in general you are right that the ‘song for the best of’ is a lame thing. I don’t know how many were specifically written for the best ofs, though. I think they often were just songs that had been recorded too late for the last album, or didn’t fit with the one they were making.

Lou Reed’s NYC Man collection opens with a live band version of Who Am I which is infinitely superior to the studio version found on The Raven.
