Garret

a pointless endevour

i dont see how people can quanitify how song X is slightly better than song Y, but just not as good as song Z

nyarlothothep

Its qualitative, based on appeal which affects the placement of the song in ones chart

Surprised how many people said Black Star tbh...never really liked it

Dr.Slurm

I'm a massive fan of the band and have all their albums(or so I thought);) . I've never heard of some of the songs mentioned here like,

Talkshow Host
i can't
thinking about you
Polyethylene
You Never Wash Up After Yourself
The Trickster
Fog

Where are these songs from?

MikeHoncho

Wow. That is seriously tough. Will give it a go as work is slow today:

1: Lucky
2: Paranoid Android
3: Myxomatosis (amazing live)
4: Idioteque
5: How to Disapear completly
6: Nice Dream
7: No Surprises
8: National Anthem
9: Street Spirit
10: Just

Tough call between Creep and Just for the Number 10 spot. I love Amnesiac as a whole body of work but found it hard to pick out one song that would go on my top 10.

Cheers:) . Haven't got Pablo Honey, as I heard it wasn't up to the immense standards of the other albums. Will try and download the other songs though.

machiavellianme

Pablo Honey is a fine debut album considering. My Iron Lung and the title track from the bends were written during that era and didnt make the final cut for the album. It may now have the same level of production but the songs arent all that different from those on the bends. Just a bit rawer.

To compile your perfect setlist would be much easier.20-25 songs for the win!Actually,damn,every band should do that many.
