Being pedantic, one could not in all honesty follow the rules and it still remain an ‘all time best-of’, don’t you think? However, it’s rather a charming idea and not being able to ever escape the appeal of making a mix, here is my eleven song playlist. I’ve even sifted it so that it’s not strictly chronological. I think it plays through rather marvellously. You may choose to disagree. That is your prerogative. But you would, of course, be wrong. The State I Am In Another Sunny Day Like Dylan In The Movies Sukie In The Graveyard Enter Sylvia Plath I Want The World To Stop Piazza, New York Catcher I Don’t Love Anyone Simple Things If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Judy and the Dream of Horses Who else is going to play this diverting little game?

1 - Would you all please send your opinions on what would be your B&S all time bestof? But with "some constraints" (so the thing gets balanced through ALL the discography), like so: - the elegible records are the 8 studio albums (i.e. no EPs, singles, or soundtracks) - you must pick (at least) 1 track from each record - you must come up with a total of 11 tracks OR 46 minutes total running time (yes, the average number of tracks and running time of said 8 studio albums)
What an absolutely impossible task! But as an obsessive list maker, I couldn't resist:
1. Expectations 2. She's Losing It 3. Stars of Track and Field 4. Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying 5. If You're Feeling Sinister 6. The Boy With the Arab Strap 7. Waiting For the Moon to Rise 8. I'm a Cuckoo 9. Roy Walker 10. Funny Little Frog 11. I Didn't See It Coming 12. Nobody's Empire
2- Well, the same as 1, but for the "worst of".
Tried. Couldn't bring myself to do it.
Hopeless.
