Title: Greatest Hits
Post by: splitmilk34 on January 31, 2006, 19:30:27
What would be your "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of" collection.  12-15 tracks of your favorite Cure... because, let's face it, no collection will ever encompass what we all truly love.  Mine would be:

1) Plainsong
2) Disintegration
3) One Hundred Years
4) The Drowning Man
5) The Kiss
6) Push
7) Sinking
8) FTEOTDGS
9) ...There Is No If
10) Why Can't I Be Me (alt.end B-side)
11) Seventeen Seconds
12) The Promise
13) Pornography (re-recorded 2005)
14) A Forest (from Show)
15) The Boy I Never Knew (unreleased)

Let me see...the songs on my compilation wouldn't all be hits, but instead I'd have a theme...Some of the band's more sinister sounding songs throughout the years (and not necessarily in chronological order either)...it would be more of an atmospheric sensation than something you can jam to:

Here is my rough idea of a tracklist, complete with hidden intermission songs to tie things together:

TRACKLIST:

Disc One:
1. Subway Song (Scream at end fading seamlessly into:)
(Hidden Track: "The Final Sound", fading into:)
2. In Your House
(Hidden Track: "Three", fading into:)
3. La Ment
4. The Funeral Party
(Hidden Track: "Carnage Visors" excerpt, fading into:)
5. Siamese Twins
6. A Reflection (Live 1980, as featured in "STARING AT THE SEA: THE IMAGES")
7. The Top (Ambient noise at start faded with prior song)
8. Cold (With a possible seige into:)
9. The Kiss
10. If Only Tonight We Could Sleep (Closing Track)


That's all I have so far...still trying to figure things out.  ;)
