Y'see, this is why i hate doing lists like this because once you start getting into the weeds of all the stuff they've put out you realise you can't include everything because there are so many gems.
I bring this up because familiarising myself with both those remixes of hold me like a heaven mentioned by flint and porco now means they need honorary mentions. Both great, especially the warm digits remix. The new version of spectators of suicide... no, no, the line must be drawn here!

I did completely realise I left out the TUVL Japanese bonus tracks off my list, I blame the fact that they’re so recent I’ve yet to become accustomed to them. Would likely include them though - especially My Drowned World.

This thread makes me realise what a bad fan I've been this past decade (in my defence, I really didn't like PFAYM or RTF). I don't know any of these songs apart from Together Stronger (eek). Time to get catching up...

Likewise, I just totally switched off to the band after PFAYM. I tired to entertain RTF, but relistening now I realise that for me, it just wasn't that good either. However it seems from there things definitely improved, and the b-sides remained, as ever, mixed-to-solid.

Sorry, I couldn’t do a list. I got as far as
1. Rock n Roll Genius and everything else just felt so unworthy after that. The Last Time I Saw Paris, T.E. Lawrence on a Bike and Red Rubber can have honourable mentions. |

When you get to Caldey, should it have been reworked into a Eurovision Duet or what?!

So I have listened to all the tracks listed in top 10s to this point (and others, but not all others).
Right now my pick of 10, in no order, is: Broken Up Again We Were Never Told Melancholyme See It Like Sutherland Caldey Kodawari Blistered Mirrors Empty Motorcade The Last Time I Saw Paris These Dark Roads
