Amazing record but does it count? It’s just a compilation of all their singles and eps (A sides and B sides) If we can have that I’m definitely including it, but there will also be loads more choices available.

Good point, okay I’ll switch it out for Lipstick Traces - The Manics

Please read the thread before impersonating the umpire.

I’m making the VAR signal here…

Stop No GIF by Bouygues Telecom

He’s looking at the screen and his face shows that he knows he’s got this one wrong

That may be the case, but he also simply does not care. PLAY ON!

OK if we can have any singles compilation so long as it includes the B-Sides as well as the A-Sides, I’m changing mine to:

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
The Undertones -True Confessions
Aretha Franklin - The Atlantic Singles Collection 1967-1970

We absolutely can’t

Cocteau Twins was allowed purely cause I couldn’t be bothered to edit my B&S one. These, Greatest Hits and Best Ofs will be dealt with in separate threads. Trust me on these matters, it’s not my first rodeo.

Bit like Mike Dean not wanting to embarrass his mate by pointing out another error. It’s chaos out here but I know that referees have a tough job and I’m not going to make it harder.

Belle and Sebastian - Push Barman to Open Old Wounds
Talking Heads - Popular Favourites*
The Cure - Join the Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978–2001

*Before someone says “ahhh this is just a best-of”, it’s got loads of b-sides and outtakes and unreleased tracks alongside the big hitters so I’m having it, ok??

PJ Harvey - The B Sides (TBYML-era tracks that were released as a bonus disc, also collected on her bigger, recent rarities compilation)
Electrelane - Singles, B-Sides & Live
The Verve - No Come Down

Honourable mentions for ones with some great tracks on, but also some definite filler:

Talk Talk - Asides Besides
Pink Floyd - Relics
Boo Radleys - Learning To Walk

damn I love this.
