perfect album battle

[dookie shoot bandit]

With 6 studio albums and over 70 songs, I thought it would be cool to battle each song number from each album against each other (ex. Heartbreakin Man vs At Dawn vs Mahgeetah vs Wordless Chorus vs Evil Urges vs Victory Dance).  And then ultimately come up with the the monster of all mixtapes!!! Here's mine...

1. Wordless Chorus - Z
2. Dancefloors - ISM
3. The Bear - TF
4. Masterplan - ISM
5. Off The Record - Z
6. Holdin on to Black Metal - C
7. Honest Man - AD
8. Lay Low - Z
9. Slow Slow Tune - C
10. Dondante - Z
11. Steam Engine - ISM
12. Phone Went West - AD
13. Touch Me pt.2 - EU
14. Butch Cassidy- TF
Bonus Track(just because): One Big Holiday

[e_wind]

1. At Dawn - AD
2. Lowdown - AD
3. The Way That He Sings - AD
4. Wonderful - C
5. One Big Holiday - ISM
6. I Will Sing You Songs - ISM
7. Its About Twilight Now - TTF
8. You Wanna Freak Out - C
9. Rollin Back - ISM
10. Dondante - Z
11. Steam Engine - ISM
12. PWW - AD
13. Strangulation - AD
14. Butch Cassidy - TFF
15. I Think I'm Going To Hell - TFF

I'll add 3 EP songs because it's some of their best work.
16. Where To Begin
17. Cobra
18. Tonight I Wanna Celebrate (version that says "God bless, god bless the USA")



#1 was hard with Mag, but AD is the best album opener of ALL TIME. #2 was a tough choice with They Ran. #5 was a tough choice with OTR, but OBH always brings it, no matter how many times it closes out the show. #8 was super hard, clashing with Xmas and Lay Low, but YWFO is my favorite song on the new record. I'm currently in love with it. #11 was tough with I Will Be There When You Die.

I think I just realized that Z is no where near my favorite record. ISM > AD > C > TTF > Z > EU



If this was real, in my opinion obviously, the Rollin Back -> Dondante -> Steam -> PWW-> Strangulation would be the most epic thing ever.

                                                   steam engine vs. i needed it most
                                                   black metal vs bermuda highway vs into the woods

There were some truly difficult choices in there, but the killer for me was having to pick I Needed It Most over Steam Engine.

[Tracy 2112]

How could a song with the name War Begun ever lose a song battle?  :-\

1-3 were impossible to choose. Also, I really wish Movin Away wasn't #10 so I could have included it here.

[e_wind]

I listened to my choices in that order last night at work and it just didn't really work. terrible flow. i felt like i was listening to jacket on shuffle.

[Crispy]

Firstly, this is impossible.
Secondly, cool idea.
Thirdly, I may have cheated and pretty much just made a mixtape. This would look quite different if this was a Live Version Song Battle. Hmmm...

1. At Dawn
2. Lowdown
3. The Bear
4. Death Is the Easy Way
5. One Big Holiday
6. I Will Sing You Songs
7. Anytime
8. Run Thru
9. Rollin' Back
10. Dondante
11. Steam Engine
12. Phone Went West
13. Strangulation!
14. Butch Cassidy
15. I Think I'm Going to Hell
16. Alabama Come Clean (yes, I'm counting it)

I went only by the tracks available on the 6 albums, so by default, #15 and #16 from TTF win.

The Dondante > Steam Engine > PWW selection is almost a consensus.

Sorry, EU and Circuital. Still love you guys.

Mixing songs from different MMJ eras doesn't really work... the transitions are always awkward. Making a greatest hits would be difficult!
