making a manics "best of" for a newbie
my fiance was converted into a fan at the toronto show and he wants me make him a cd but i don't know where to start.
if you had to make a "manics for dummies" (for lack of better analogy) cd, what would you put on it? keep in mind that anything too out there (i.e. ballad of the bangkok novotel) or too mellow (i.e. ocean spray) might lose the person's interest. thanks guys |

I think Motown Junk has to be there, but I wouldn't know what your 'Out There' scale is like.
And I would use EMG-songs most sparingly. |

i was thinking of including:
anything i'm missing? i'm purposefully leaving off key THB songs because they are MY songs dammit |

If they are songs you enjoy and recommend wholeheartedly, go for it.

Pretty good list you've got going there - I was going to do an intro comp. for someone else, myself, so this thread will come in handy. What about something from JFPL? "Peeled Apples"!

well maybe for starters try with Forever Delayed (kinda like a MSP greatest hits) and then maybe starting him off with the earlier stuff and the new album.
I hope I was a wee bit helpful |

I actually have a playlist ready for the moment that this scenario happens to me!
A few personal favorites got thrown in there

imo, compilations still have to answer a standard of 'good'. Doesn't mean you should go overboard with your preferences, but Forever-Delayed style compilations aren't for anyone and everyone, either.

This was the one I'd made for my parents (unfamiliar with the Manics except for me hollering about them all the time ) a couple weeks ago to listen to and it went over quite well! More of a favorites than best thing, though, and The Holy Bible tracks at the US Mixes because I like them better and I think they sound more 'accessible', too:
1. Archives of Pain 2. Marlon J.D. 3. Love's Sweet Exile 4. Die In The Summertime 5. Judge Yr'self 6. Black Garden 7. Stay Beautiful 8. Faster 9. To Repel Ghosts 10. Nobody Loved You 11. Motorcycle Emptiness 12. She is Suffering 13. Peeled Apples 14. Slash n' Burn 15. Vision Blurred 16. You Love Us 17. Bored Out of My Mind 18. Fragments 19. From Despair to Where 20. Close My Eyes |

If they like old school era pop you might want to consider including "So Why So Sad".
