Need to look out the cd's  first,  but I'll try and add

[Master Ray]

Well, that was brutal... went through all the albums, plucked the ones I wanted for my shortlist... that came to 53 tracks.  Managed to whittle them down to 20 and then, just for the heck of it, put them agonizingly into order of preference, one I will doubtlessly reconsider five seconds after posting, but without further ado let's go...

Fireworks Night
Angry Planet
Winter
Never Arriving
Stranger
States Radio
No Mirror No Shadow
One Of The Chosen
Born Feral
Too Close To The Sun
Pull The Sun
The Weather
High
All Consuming Fire
Autumn
Today Is A Goodf Day
Guessing
Flying Through The Smoke
Devil
Eyes Get Used To The Darkness

It's funny how despite how much I loved BDAW, only one track made the cut... thinking about it, it's one of those albums I don't listen to very often anymore, although when I do it's all the more appreciated, if you see what I mean.

Yes it's quite difficult to choose 20 songs, isn't it?
It's the obvious proof that the band has created so many incredible songs through the years!

[RobertJohn1]

Difficult for sure...here's mine - in something approaching a setlist - meaning leeds Road / Jesus both make way...

R&R
Never Arriving
Orange Tree Roads
Bd3
Bluebeat
Seven times
High
Prayer Flags
The Weather
Where I Am
LA Push
One Of The Chosen
Between Dog & Wolf
No Mirror, Now Shadow
States Radio
EGUTTD
Qasr El Nil Bridge
From Here
After Something
Devil
Angry Planet

Whoa!!  Another dilemma-swamped thread!  Right off the bat, I can tell you that I can't do just twenty.  So, I'm going to pretend I have my very own radio show and I'm doing a top 30 NMA chronological chart for the program instead.  I'm going to only pull tracks from the albums you listed.  Great thread Guillaume!

That was seriously challenging, but so much fun!!!   sad lol, took far too long.  I messed around with it for over 4 hours! lol, I think it's pretty safe to say that if I had graduated from college and gone into radio like I had studied, I would've eventually been fired from the job!  ahhhahahaha!  lmao, I'm so slow, it's both pathetic and absolutely fcukin' ridiculous!  ugh!


Just jumping in here to add official video (*) & audio links.  Enjoy!

Legend

Cold wind
If i am still me
