Awake, the band's choice for their 'greatest hits' Options

[SecretInsomnia]

I was listening to Awake this week (yes, I actually play cd's often! cuz Awake is a nice collection of good songs), but at the other hand I was thinking some choices are kinda odd. I don't want to bring up the whole discussion again about greatest hits and best of albums 'never cover the fans preferenses, but the next things are just a little strange ( I take the european version cuz that's the one I have )

1. Operation Spirit (Tyranny Of Tradition)
2. Beauty Of Gray
- good choice for MJ. Not their most known album, so good choice, maybe Pain Lies along with it, but not bad

3. Selling The Drama
4. I Alone
5. Lightning Crashes
6. All Over You
- perfect choice for the TC era, just all their singles off it. the only thing I miss is just an extra song of it (not a single) because TC is for many their best. Maybe Iris, Pilar or Shit Towne would fit

7. We Deal In Dreams
- the marketing thing to sell best of albums. Although it wasn't a big hit, I still think it was a good single to promote the album with!

8. Lakini's Juice
9. Turn My Head
- 2 must haves on the album, but hey, where is other SS stuff?? Where are Freaks, Rattlesnake, and many others??

10. Dolphin's Cry
11. Run To The Water
12. They Stood Up For Love (acoustic version)
- TDTH singles, well done, especially including TSUFL but in an acoustic version, cuz many people won't have the 2cd-edition of TDTH.

13. Distance
14. Dance With You
- good songs, but why now suddenly placing non-singles on it, while TC can bring some real good non-singles for the best of, but by TC they didn't. And here they did hmmm.

15. Overcome
- It's on his place on a best of! One of their biggest hits.

16. Nobody Knows
- Uhm, sorry!? why the hell is NK included? A non-single, but by that not even at the best half of V (in my opinion!). And Simple Creed isn't placed here?

17. Heaven
18. Run Away - Live & Shelby Lynne
- just the singles again, good for me, only I didn't want to hear other people the duet version. But it's oke because it wasn't released before. Ohw, and Like I do belongs here (the never released 3th single )
19. I Walk The Line
- very cool never released track/cover. Else wise we wouldn't have heard this song!


what do you think about the songs?

[Distance to Me]

Oh yea, gotta love the Mirror Song as well. Great song. And Rattlesnake or Heropsychodreamer woulda been cool.
