which was the one you didn't want?

I'm pretty much at a loss at this point. I don't know very many b-sides/non-album tracks. And I really don't like Fables very much. I mean, I already know which Fables song I'm taking. But I'm not necessarily over the moon about it. It's fine. But not great. It's the non-album that has me shaking.

There's still one awesome non-album (original) track that hasn't been taken.

assuming platy doesn't return I'll just randomly assign him a song from what's left from green, out of time, monster, and hi-fi

It's not bad. It just doesn't do it for me the way the other eleven do.

I can think of 6-7 I'd love to have. More if you count some of the studio covers.

I feel ya. Just surprises me. I don't know you all that well, but it feels like a song you'd dig.

I'd probably like it more if it were on Monster. It feels out of place on Automatic to me.

I've been digging through some non-album cuts and I have it narrowed down to three. Strongly leaning toward one. But I have to think about it for a bit.

One of my favorite songs of theirs still hasn't been picked.

There's a lot of talk about best songs and little mention of my team.

Let's do that again, guys. From the top!
