Looking at all your lists, this is kind of like the 50 year argument that The Beatles' "white album" should have been a single album - but nobody can agree on which tracks would be kept!

Smart Money and This One's Not Going To End Well are two of my favourites but missing from lots of these selections. :)

Both are in my selection!

And...erm....ahem....both are in mine - the selection that kicked this thread off! Be interesting to see after a while what songs are most common amongst us all.

You'll have to chop two from that I'm afraid and remove All Comers......!

I rather like the 12 tracks on the album so I'll stick with that.

Not tempted by a single one of the other 9 songs?? Are you Guy Fletcher in disguise? Ha! Excellent.

Very interesting to see the picks here - and the ones mostly not picked. Seems Dolly Shop really should have been on there........

This one's very easy

1. Two pairs of hands
2. Scavenger's yard
3. Tunnel 13
4. Janine
5. Watch me gone
6. Sweeter than the rain
7. Before my train comes
8. One deep river
9. The living end
10. Nothing but the rain
11. Dolly Shop Man
12. Wrong 'un

If All Comers counts then Nothing but the rain is out. I like my records rocky and rootsy. ;D

I can't do 12, sorry. I think no songs should be excluded.
By the way, I haven't heard The Boy EP, as well as the vinyl bonus tracks (Dolly Shop Man and others) (really wish I did, if I could only find them online).. Look forward to hearing at some point and putting together a definite tracklist of 25 songs.

So, here's my list of what I consider to be the best listen (so far), based on what I've heard so far and know.

1. Before My Train Comes
2. Smart Money
3. This One's Not Going To End Well
4. Watch Me Gone
5. Janine
6. Black Tie Jobs
7. One Deep River
8. Nothing But Rain
9. Tunnel 13
10. Ahead of the Game
11. Two Pairs of Hands
12. Sweeter Than The Rain
13. Scavanger's Yard
14. What I'm Gonna Need
15. Fat Chance Dupree
16. The Living End
17. Along A Foreign Coast

Can I keep the track list as it is, but invite the band back to British Grove and have them re-record all synth parts with proper instruments?  :D

Ha! And 17 really is cheating. Feel bad for the 4 left off!
