I think we will get around to do most, if not all, of their albums but wanted to see first what is their best single according to ILM.

This comprises of 21 of the band's memorable singles taken from six studio albums: Fuzzy Logic, Radiator, Guerrilla, Rings Around The World, Mwng, and Phantom Power. Also includes the original studio version of "The Man Don't Give A Fuck", "Ice Hockey Hair" and "Blerwytirhwng", from the band's debut pre-Creation EP.

Blerwytirhwng IMO, although Slow Life and (Drawing) Rings Around The World push it desperately close

ice hockey hair

For some unfathomable reason, that song doesn't really do it for me, despite it being in most SFA fans' personal top 3. I also don't think this compilation contains that many of their best songs. But it's still a fine career summary.

A couple of listens later, and Ice Hockey Hair is revealing itself to be pretty good. I just think I hadn't heard it enough times.

Juxtapozed with U

― nate woolls, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 07:27 (seventeen years ago)

I thought we had.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 08:14 (seventeen years ago)

Still "Ice Hockey Hair" if a choice must be made.

― If You Lived Here You'd Be SB'd By Now (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 09:12 (seventeen years ago)

'the man don't give a fuck' for me.

― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 11:27 (seventeen years ago)

CCa 15 of these tracks are flawless songs, so not an easy decision. God Show Me Magic, still.

― zeus, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 11:29 (seventeen years ago)

Rings Around The World or Fire In My Heart. Giddy pop or melancholy ballad.
