I'll prob'ly change my mind in a minute though.

"Road Movie to Berlin", "Birdhouse", the short-and-sweet "Toddler Highway", and "Don't Let's Start" belong in there somewhere too, but I'm not sure where.

The quirky clever disease... More fearful than S M A L L or C H I C K E N !

(sorry, it's tempting to make all sorts of disease jokes with all the POX threads, but I couldn't resist myself this time)

"It's Not My Birthday" was one I wanted to put on but forgot what it was called! And I love "Robot Parade", it freaks me out a little bit.

Another one I wish I had thought to include (say, in place of "aka Driver") is "The Day" (like the day Marvin Gaye/and Phil Ochs got married/the trees all waved their giant arms/and happiness bled/from every street-corner), cuz it's just overdramatic enough that it works really well.

Off the top of my head:

1. Snowball in Hell
2. Ana Ng
3. Mammal
4. Nightgown of the Sullen Moon
5. Birdhouse in Your Soul
6. Narrow Your Eyes (which I covered on a TMBG tribute album when I was in high school)
7. The Guitar
8. Hearing Aid
9. Dinner Bell
and this is probably cheating, but...
10. Fingertips

what's that blue thing doing here? ;-)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

About a year ago, I made a compilation of all my favorite tracks from the (4 or 5?) albums I own. (Haha used to own.) Will post the tracklist when I get home.

I think my fave part of Fingertips is "I found a new friend underneath my pillow."

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I love "Fingertips"; I think my fav is the actual "fingertips" part with the banjo. I used to live with a guy who hated TMBG, and his pride-and-joy was his 100-disk CD changer, which he loaded up with Phish and Grateful Dead concert bootlegs and good GOD it got old REAL fast. But I used to sneak Apollo 18 in there and after every other 30-friggin-minute version of "Chalkdust Torture" or "Truckin" or whatever, you'd get this little bitty 20 seconds of "fingertips" or "please pass the milk please". That was so much fun.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Doing a truncated 'POV' because I've not heard many of their albums:

"Spiraling Shape", "I Palindrome I", "Particle Man", "Unrelated Thing", "Fingertips" (18-38).

― gazuga (gazuga), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:40 (twenty-two years ago)

"They'll Need A Crane" is a really wonderful song.

― Adam A. (Keiko), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Doctor Worm, Dig My Grave, End of the Tour, Cyclops Rock, Everything Right is Wrong Again, Mammal, Meet James Ensor, I Can Hear You, For Science, SEXXY.

Not even a best-of ten, just a ten. They have so many good songs it would be hard to go wrong.

― matt riedl (veal), Thursday, 24 April 2003 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Not enough people have mentioned Particle Man.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 April 2003 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck Particle Man. No one has mentioned their best song, Certain People I Could Name.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 24 April 2003 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't tell me "Fuck Particle Man", one time, in school, we did a whole found art piece around Particle Man. It was fucking awesome, and also we did this to Born in the USA.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 April 2003 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Particle Man is a great song but certainly not one of their 10 best. Your found art project may be one of the 10 best found art projects ever, though.
