-excise What You Need and Spoilt Victorian Child
-Couldn't Get Ahead between LA and Gut of the Quantifier
-SVC can be the A-side for Rollin Dany! (<--first of the Fall covers iirc?)

excise What You Need and Spoilt Victorian Child
*grimaces*
i do think that nearly every Fall album could be improved. just take the deluxe versions with the B-sides and singles and cut like 20-30% of the tracks.

eh What You Need is kinda dumbed-down C'n'C to me, and I dont know, I'm just not crazy about SVC; methinks I have some hidden birth defect or something...
TNSG is a fantastic album though; I've been revisiting it today, and the great tracks (of which there are many) are endlessly fascinating. Any album that ends on a run that consists of My New House/Paintwork/I am Damo Suzuki is pure twenty-four karat...

resequence Recurring by Spacemen 3 so the Sonic/Jason tracks are mixed up.

i would improve Blind Melon's self-titled debut album (RIP SHANNON HOON) by changing key lyrics in the lead single to . . .
and all i can do is read a book to stay awakeand enrich my life awaybut it's a great escape

As the first track Who Loves the Sun overshadow the rest of the songs on Loaded. And add Ocean instead of Lonesome Cowboy Bill.

The Mollusk by Ween is already a pretty much perfect album but I have no idea how "Pink Eye (On My Leg)" made the cut instead of "Kim Smoltz", which uses the same melody and is maybe one of the best songs they ever wrote
in fact you could do this for every Ween album really

xp "Ocean" totally doesn't fit the mood of the album, dude

would improve both angel olsen phases and snail mail Lush by cutting out the back-loaded slow songs..the energy peters out so much that it is like taking the air out of a balloon.

It was recorded after the album came out, but if The 1975's I like it when you sleep ended with their cover of Sade's By Your Side it would probably be my album of the decade

Blood On The Tracks would be better if "Meet Me In The Morning" were removed. Never liked that song.
Swap out Meet Me In The Morning for Call Letter Blues from the Bootleg series 1-3 (Same melody, much more personal lyrics) and swap out Lily Rosemary for Up To Me and you have Bob's best album.

This Year's Model....swap out Living In Paradise for Big Tears.
By the way, how the hell did Big Tears not make the album? That is my favorite EC song ever.

and swap out Lily Rosemary for Up To Me and you have Bob's best album.
Including both "Up to Me" & "Shelter From the Storm" would be repetition... very similar melody, no?

(Also, it's hard to imagine that album without "Lily, Rosemary"!)
