Yellow Moon is not a bad choice.

I'm thinking of waiting until track 11 to pull the Backspacer trigger (on The End).

with so many great songs on Lightning Bolt or Backspacer how does one choose?

I am hoping for Force of Nature at 10 and Lightning Bolt at 5

Though I'd slot LB over Backspacer in terms of my enjoyment of the record, in the case of the former I'm having a lot of issues thinking of the best place to slot it. There's no killer song on there that could be the sacrifical lamb, and whenever I think of those songs I do like, I remember how many other great songs share that track listing number. The title track may indeed end up being the best (or least worst) option, but even that one doesn't feel good when passing over Black or Nothingman.

This is a fun game; it definitely makes you think ahead.

This is what the ultimate album should look like:

Life Wasted
Save You
Dance of the Clairvoyants
In My Tree
Lightning Bolt
Jeremy
Do the Evolution
Rearviewmirror
Grievance
Force of Nature
Betterman
Immortality


What an album!

Can we use Better Man (Live) as our Backspacer track?

Can’t we just pretend Backspacer and LB never happened?

I could quibble about a couple spots but that is pretty solid. Here's my crack at this:

Can’t Keep
Hail, Hail
Alive
Quick Escape
Nothingman
W.M.A.
Do the Evolution
Swallowed Whole
Grievance
Force of Nature
Army Reserve
All or None
