The Past Just Aint What It Used To Be - wenners 08:02 am UTC 06/02/07 |

You know I've been thinking about this... and it's amazing how "incompatible" the songs from Bad For Good and Dead Ringer feel to me!
I can definitely feel / hear Rock And Roll Dreams belonging on either album, and I can definitely hear Dead Ringer belonging on either album (how much that is influenced sub-conciously by Meat's story on VH1 Storytellers i dunno -- is that story even true?).
My favourite song on Dead Ringer by an absolute mile is I'll Kill You, but it doesn't feel too bad for Goodish to me.
Either way i think the strongest 8 tracks are (in a mythical running order :o) ):
1. Bad For Good
2. Out Of The Frying Pan
3. Surf's Up
4. Rock And Roll Dreams
5. Dead Ringer For Love
6. I'll Kill you If You Don't Come Back
7. The Storm
8. Left In The Dark
