Which songs do you think should on SA : the single edition?

I made a playlist a while back but I can't seem to find. This thread inspired me to go back and listen to the whole album again. I'll come back later with my full list.

cool! ill be waiting.

I'm going to do this as well

OK, I present to you Stadium Arcadium Prime. The best 12 tracks from "Mars"/"Jupiter", and 2 tracks that didn't make the final cut for RHCP but should have, the "Venus" tracks. I even took some time to put them in a very enjoyable order.

Hump De Bump
Dani California
Readymade
21st Century
Million Miles of Water
Stadium Arcadium
Wet Sand
Strip My Mind
Torture Me
Storm in a Teacup
Mercy Mercy
Desecration Smile
Hard To Concentrate
Turn It Again

This is basically all of my 5-star songs from the album, to put it in some quantifiable terms. There's a lot of 4-star stuff left over, so I guess that tells you in more detail how I feel about SA. Though, I will concede to some degree that had the album been trimmed down to this, it would probably have been even more impacting than it was as the slightly watered down double-album.

Ill check this out...

I'd add Charlie to the single disc

Readymade is ok, but too similar to Mountain Song.

I'd have to keep Snow and Especially In Michigan. Readymade is really cool too, but I can see the Mountain Song gripe.

Ya, it was borderline. I cut a few that I really enjoy. Kiedis said something about how painful it was for the band to trim it from 39 to 28 tracks. I can believe it.

See above for Snow. Not as big on Michigan.

Back to the OP for a moment, since I've had a chance to give I'm Beside You a few listens now. I must say, there are some pretty delicious new treats on this one. Some early favorites: Hometown Gypsy, Pink As Floyd, Your Eyes Girl, In Love Dying, Catch My Death, How It Ends, and This Is The Kitt.

I'm a big fan of your playlist. My final list is very similar to yours and I liked your order. I made a few adjustments but this is my best attempt.

Had I not thrown in those b-sides, those are the tracks I would of used. Great minds think alike.
