I'm going to finalize this 50 song playlist and then slowly work on whittling it down to 25 songs. That's going to be a goddamn nightmare.

I'm looking over your two lists -
1st pass over and I'm all like 'damn, that's a fine list - I love all these songs.'
2nd pass over and I'm all like 'Where the hell is 'x', 'y' and 'z' - what kind of damn Nazi came up with this list?'

That's the thing, man. No matter how many ways I approach this, there's something missing. It's stupid. This band has so many amazing songs, it's just absurd.

There really is something satisfying about those first 20 I posted, though. Just as a group of songs, it flows well and feels rewarding.

Half a World Away

Undertow
Low Desert
Maps and Legends

I'll Take The Rain

The downside of this is that it's caused me to revisit their catalog and I've discovered that there's a few of their albums I really don't care for as much as I remembered
