The Best of The Boomtown Rats (2004)
Permalink  
 


Is it just me, or was this compilation a true best of?  The new version twenty years on looks insipid by comparison.  Maybe a few tracks could be swapped out, but on the whole, I would rather have this on vinyl.

  1. "Shes So Modern"
  2. "Mary of the 4th Form"
  3. "Rat Trap"
  4. "Lookin' After No. 1"
  5. "When the Night Comes"
  6. "Someone's Looking at You"
  7. "Joey's on the Street Again"
  8. "Banana Republic"
  9. "Dave"
  10. "I Don't Like Mondays"
  11. "Like Clockwork"
  12. "(I Never Loved) Eva Braun"
  13. "Neon Heart"
  14. "Never in a Million Years"
  15. "Diamond Smiles"
  16. "Drag Me Down"
  17. "I Can Make It (If You Can)"
  18. "The Elephant's Graveyard (Guilty)"
  19. "Fall Down"

If they add House On Fire,Trash Glam Baby and Monster Monkeys that would be brilliant.

I would remove When the Night Comes, Never in a Million Years along with Diamond Smiles adding He Watches It All, Go Man Go, Up All Night and Me & Howard Hughes to make it a 20 track all killer no filler double LP. Nothing since 1986 truly worthy of inclusion.

 Million Years not there to be removed, but I get you... and largely agree with your suggestions and observations, except for Diamond Smiles. I guess I line up with Noel of this parish on Million Years and Diamond Smiles.

 

Back to Boomtown would have been a better bet than that awful The Boomtown Rats! techno tosh.
